Main
navigation buttons - The navigation buttons for
Week view are located in the upper left corner of
the screen. Week view displays seven days at once,
and nine hours for each day.
For purposes of explanation, let us consider the
first day displayed Day One of Week view. Click the
right arrow button to change Day One of the current
week to the second day of the current week
displayed, and the left arrow to change Day One to
the day previous to Day One. For example, if Day
One is currently Sunday, clicking the right arrow
would change Day One to Monday; clicking the left
arrow would make Saturday of the previous week Day
One.
Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard while
clicking the left arrow to navigate to the previous
week, while maintaining the current Day One;
holding down the SHIFT key while clicking the right
arrow navigates to the week following the current
week.
Use the up and down arrows to navigate from hour to
hour, or in eight-hour blocks when holding down the
SHIFT key. Don't let the lengthy explanation here
confuse you. Play with the navigation buttons in
each view and you'll quickly get the idea.
At the bottom of the Week view you will see the
first five tasks for the day in the same column. If
you need to view all tasks for a day, go to month
view, or to the event list. In addition, the Day
view displays forty-one tasks for the current day.
Navigating to these screens is covered in the
section titled The Button Bar.

Current month/year display - indicates the month you
are currently viewing. This display refreshes as you use the
navigation buttons to move from day to day and week to
week.

Day headers - Click on the day header in week view to
navigate to the corresponding day in Day view. The current
day header will be displayed in black; all other day headers
in Week view will be medium gray.

Events - Any appointment or task that has been added
to the calendar is considered an event. After an event has
been created, clicking on that item in Week view navigates
to Detail view, allowing the user to change the specifics of
that event, or simply to view the details associated with
that item. Each day in week view can display four events per
hour.
This brings us to a limitation of the calendar. In Week and
Day views, only four items can be displayed at once per
hour. Practically, this dictates that each user of the
calendar should not own more than two events for each
half-hour. If you are in Week view and have All Users
selected in the User drop down list (shown below in the
Button Bar), there may be events that are hidden. If so,
select an individual user to see that person's events. If
more than two events are scheduled in the same half hour for
any user, those events will not be visible in Week view or
Day view.
Note: The addition of events to the calendar is
covered in its own section elsewhere in this manual.

Calendar Button bar - The calendar's button bar is
identical in all three views, and is covered in its own
section elsewhere in this manual.
