5.5 Using different views

A calendar may be viewed in different formats.

Click on the menu View and choose the mode which is adequate to your current needs.
- Day shows all the appointments of a specific day.
- Week shows the whole week.
- Month shows the whole month.
- Quarter shows the whole quarter of the year.
- Year shows the whole year.
- Contents shows a list of all appointments in the calendar.

In the ‘Contents’ view you can manage appointments as you are used to in normal folders, e.g. sort them by category or status. In the other views you may navigate using the to left or to right arrows.

You may control what sort of detailed appointment information is shown in the different calendar views by activating or deactivating the options of View Entries . Because there is more room, the day view offers more options than, e.g., the month or year view. After you have activated the option Check Box in the day, week or month view, you may use the selection menu bar for actions on several appointments at a time.

Using View Filter you may restrict the appointments shown in the calendar to those having a certain status by selecting the respective filter option. When the filter option ‘Invited’ is active, e.g., only appointments to which you have been invited as participant are shown.

You may highlight weekends in the calendar views by activating the option View Highlight Weekends . In the month and week view you may also suppress the weekends altogether by activating the option View Skip Weekends ; days of the weekend will then be only shown if they contain appointments. Use Options Calendar to specify which days of the week are to count as weekend for you.

By default, the whole duration of an appointment is indicated in the day and week view of a calendar. You may have only the beginning of an appointment shown by deactivating the option View Show duration .

By activating the option View Shrink Columns the days of the week containing no appointments will get less room in the week and month view of a calendar; consequently, there will be more room for the display of appointments on the other days of the week.
