VueMinder Calendar Help - Status Bar

Current as of Version 7.1.0

Overview

The status bar shows the current processing status, the active calendar name, and the number of events belonging to the active calendar. The active calendar is the one designated with a green arrow in the Calendar List, and will be the default calendar when new events are created. To activate a different calendar, click its name in the list. The status bar will then update accordingly. 

Active Calendar

In addition to the active calendar's name, additional information will be displayed depending on the properties of the active calendar:

• If the calendar is shared, its name in the status bar will be followed by "(Shared)".
• If the calendar is published, subscribed, synced with Google Calendar, or synced with Outlook, the date and time of the most recent sync will be shown.
• The number of events belonging to the calendar will be listed. A recurring event series is counted as 1 event, with any variations of the series also being counted as 1 event.

Current Processing Status

The current processing status will usually be "Ready". The processing status will update to indicate when other background processing is being performed. After the processing completes, the status will return to "Ready". The status bar will update to show relevant information when the following operations are performed in the background:

Autosaving

When changes are made to your calendar, VueMinder Calendar will automatically save your data. During the autosave processing, which on most systems will take just a fraction of a second, the status bar will update to show "Autosaving". If you never see this status text, there's no need to be concerned, it just means that your computer is fast enough that the autosave completes before the screen can refresh!

Sending Email Reminder

When an email reminder comes due, the email will be transmitted in the background. The status bar will show an email is being sent, along with the event or task name.

Sending Text Message Reminder

As with an email reminder, when a text message reminder comes due, the text message will be transmitted in the background. The status bar will update to show a text message is being sent, along with the event or task name.

Syncing With Google Calendar

When a calendar is being synced with Google Calendar, the status bar will update to show a sync is in progress, along with the name of the calendar being synced.

Syncing With Microsoft Outlook

When a calendar is being synced with Outlook, the status bar will update to show a sync is in progress, along with the name of the calendar being synced.
