Section 2: Calendar views

There are three calendar views: Month view, Week view, and Day view.


Section 2.1: Month View






Main navigation buttons - The navigation buttons for Month view are located in the upper left corner of the screen. Click the right arrow to view the month following the current month displayed, and the left arrow to view the previous month. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard while clicking the left arrow to navigate to the currently displayed month in the previous year; holding down the SHIFT key while clicking the right arrow navigates to the current month in the following year.




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




Day headers - Click on the day header in month view to navigate to the corresponding day in Day view. The current day header will be displayed in black; all other days will be light or medium gray, depending on whether or not they are in the current month. Day headers for days in the current month are light gray, while days outside the current month are 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 Month 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 month view can display six events. If more items are added to a single day, the slider for that day will activate, indicating that there are events below those that are displayed. Use the up and down arrows in a day's slider bar to see appointments and tasks that are outside the view for that day in Month 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.
