File Menu Commands
The File menu provides commands for creating new calendars,
events, or tasks, adding shared calendars, importing or exporting calendars,
data backup, and
printing.
New Calendar
- After selecting this command, a new calendar will be
created. The
Calendar Properties window will be displayed allowing
the calendar appearance, event defaults, sharing
settings, and Outlook synchronization settings to be modified. The calendar will also be added to the
Calendar List.
- The formatting of events belonging to the calendar can be modified by using the
Appearance Toolbar.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+N.
Add Shared Calendar From LAN
- Select this command to add an existing shared calendar
to the Calendar List.
- A file dialog will open, allowing you to browse and
select a shared calendar file from your local network.
- After being added, the shared calendar can be both
viewed and modified. Modifications will be automatically
written to the shared calendar file, so any other computers
sharing the calendar through VueMinder Calendar will see the
changes.
- The keyboard shortcut is F9.
Add Calendar Subscription
- This will initiate a new calendar subscription.
- A new calendar will be created and added to the
Calendar List.
- The Subscribe
to Calendar window will then be displayed, allowing the
location of the calendar to be specified, along with other
subscription settings.
- If the new calendar is successfully subscribed, it will
automatically be named based on the source calendar.
- The keyboard shortcut is F6.
Add Public Calendars
- After selecting this command, the
Add Public Calendar
window will be displayed, allowing you to browse a list of
publicly available calendars and select ones that you would
like to add to your
Calendar List.
- These public calendars cover things like holidays for a
variety of countries and religions, sports and
entertainment events, science and astronomy events, and
more.
New Event
- After selecting this command, the
Event Editor Window will be displayed, where a new event can be defined.
- "Events" are items that will display in the
Calendar View.
- Events can be categorized by using different calendars.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+N.
New Recurring Event
- After selecting this command, the
Event Editor Window will be displayed, where a new
recurring event can be defined.
- This is the same as the "New Event" command, except the
new event will default to be recurring. The recurrence
settings can be modified on the Recurrence tab of the Event
Editor window.
New All Day Event
- After selecting this command, the
Event Editor Window will be displayed, where a new
all-day event can be defined.
- This is the same as the "New Event" command, except the
new event will default to being all-day.
New Task
- After selecting this command, the
Task Editor Window will be displayed, where a new task can be defined.
- Tasks are displayed in the Task List.
They can also be displayed in the
Event List.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+T.
Import
- This command expands into options allowing calendars and
events to be imported from iCalendar formatted files, Excel
workbooks, or Outlook.
- After selecting an import type, the
Import Calendar Window
will be displayed.
- Importing differs from subscribing because an imported
calendar won't be synchronized or periodically updated from
the source. If you expect the source calendar is
likely to change, subscribing to the calendar may be a
better option. If, on the other hard, the source
calendar is not likely to change, or is located somewhere
that is not always accessible, importing may be the better
option.
Export
- This command expands into options allowing calendars and
events to be exported to iCalendar formatted files, Excel,
or Outlook.
- After selecting an export type, the
Export Calendar Window will be displayed.
- Exporting differs from publishing because an exported calendar won't be synchronized
or automatically updated when changes are made.
Print
- This command will display the
Print Settings window, where
a print layout, date range, and various options can be
specified.
- A dynamic print preview can also be displayed.
It will automatically update as print settings are changed.
- After you're satisfied with the print settings, you can
continue printing from the
Print Settings window.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+P.
Print Preview
- This is basically the same as the Print command, except
the dynamic print preview window will automatically appear.
- After you're satisfied with the print settings, you can
continue printing from the
Print Settings window.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+F2.
Configuration Wizard
- This command will display the
Configuration Wizard,
which helps guide you through setting up VueMinder Calendar for
initial use.
- This wizard is run automatically the first time
VueMinder Calendar is commanded, but can be accessed at any time
through the File menu.
Backup or Restore Data
- This command will display the
Backup or Restore Data
window, where you can select a backup location and choose
whether to perform automatic daily backups at a specified
time.
- This window will allow you to manually command a data
backup as well as restore data from a previous backup.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+R.
Exit
- This will minimize the VueMinder Calendar window to the
Task Tray, unless the
Program Option has been
set to fully exit the program when the main window is closed.
- Note that VueMinder Calendar will continue to run in the background, so that reminders for approaching events
can be displayed, sent via email, or to your cell phone as
needed. While running in the background, minimal system
resources are used.
- An icon will be displayed in the
Task Tray of the Windows taskbar when
VueMinder Calendar is running.
