Overview
The Calendar tab of the Options
Window allows you to specify work day options and general calendar
settings.
Work Day Options
- Each day of the week can have its own work schedule specified
independently of other days.
- The work day options will affect the display of the
Day
and Week Views, which shade working
hours differently than non-working hours. It will also
affect the Daily and Weekly
print styles.
- The Week View can be set to
display only work days, which are defined in this window.
- If a day is usually a work day, check the Work Day box. This will allow the work starting and ending times to be specified.
- The start and end times are the times that you normally start and end working on the associated day.
- You can type in any start/end time or select one from a drop-down list.
Show Event Descriptions in Tooltips
-
When this option is enabled, event
tooltips displayed in the
Calendar View and Desktop
Calendar will include event descriptions, if
present.
-
If your events contain long descriptions,
or if you dislike large tooltips, turning this option off
will suppress event descriptions in the tooltips.
-
The following is an example of a tooltip
when this option is enabled:
Show Week Numbers
- When enabled, this option will result in week numbers
(1-53) being displayed in the week header area of the
Month View,
Date Navigation Pane,
and Desktop Calendar.
- Two standards for week numbering are supported, Simple
Week Numbering and ISO 8601.
- Simple week numbering will cause the week containing
the first day of the year to always be numbered as 1.
This is the standard used in the United States.
- ISO 8601 week numbering will cause the week
containing the first Thursday of the year to be numbered
as 1. This is the standard used in Europe.
- Here's an example of how the Month View looks when week
numbers are enabled:
- When the showing of week numbers has been disabled, the
Month View will appear as below:
First Day of the Week
- The first day of the week will default to match your regional
settings defined in Windows.
- For example, in the USA, the
first day of the week is Sunday, while in the UK, it's Monday.
- If you prefer a different first day of the week, you can select
it from the drop-down list.
- This will affect the left-most
day that is displayed in the the
Month Navigation Pane,
Month View,
Week View, and
Desktop Calendar.
- It will also affect
the Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly
print styles.
Reminder Date/Time Format
- By default, the date and time format that is shown in the
Popup Reminder Window
and Event List will use a long and
descriptive format, based on your Windows regional settings.
- For example, in the United States, this will result in date/time
strings having a format like "Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:20
PM", while in the United Kingdom it would be "23 November 2008
18:20".
- If you prefer a shorter date/time be displayed, or
if you prefer a format (and language) that matches what is used
in the United States, you can select a different option from the
drop-down list.
- Example formats based on the current date
and time will be displayed for you to select from. Note
that this option is not used in email or text message reminders.
- Here's an example of the available date time formats
when running in Brazil:
First Visible Time Slot
- This option allows you to select the first time slot
that will be visible in the the Day and
Week Views. For example, if you
usually don't have any events start until after 7:00 AM, you
could select 7:00 AM as the first time slot, to reduce the
amount of scrolling required in the Day and Week views.
- Time slots before the specified time will still be
accessible, but you'll need to scroll up to them.
Show Additional Time Zone
- This option allows times for an additional time zone to
be displayed side-by-side with times for the local time zone
in the Day and
Week Views.
- A label for the additional time zone can be entered, if
desired. This label is displayed above the additional time
zone column.
- Here's what the Week View looks like after entering the
example settings shown above:
