Overview

The Calendar tab of the Options Window allows you to specify work day options and general calendar settings.

Why upgrade to Pro?

The Pro version expands the Calendar Options to allow selection of a secondary time zone, which when selected, will be shown in the Day and Week views alongside the local time zone.

The options window.

Work Day Options

Why upgrade to Pro?

These work day options will also be applied to an additional view type, the Timeline View. The Timeline View presents a horizontal representation of your schedule, similar in layout to TV Guide, where non-working hours will be grayed out.

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 View, which shades working hours differently than non-working hours. It will also affect the Daily print style.
  • 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.

Calendar Options

The calendar options.

Show Tooltips in the Calendar View

  • When this option is enabled, event tooltips will be displayed in the Calendar View and Desktop Calendar.

  • If the "Show event descriptions in tooltips" box is checked, the tooltips will include event descriptions, including special formatting like embedded pictures.

  • The following is an example of a tooltip when the option to show descriptions in tooltips is enabled:

Prompt to Confirm Item Deletion

  • When deleting an item, such as an event or calendar, VueMinder Calendar will prompt to confirm the deletion, by default. For example, when deleting an event, the following message will be displayed.
    Before deleting an event, the program will ask you to confirm.
  • This prompt can be disabled by unchecking the "Prompt to confirm item deletion" box.
  • If you check the "Don't ask me again" box in the confirmation dialog, and later change your mind and want to see this dialog before deleting items, it can be re-enabled via the checkbox in the Calendar Options window.

Show Week Numbers

Why upgrade to Pro?

The Pro version adds a Year View, allowing you to see a quick overview of events for an entire year, where each date is color-coded to match the color of its events. The Year view will show week numbers if the option is enabled. It will also use the first day of the week option.

Week numbers, using either Simple Week Numbering or ISO 8601, can be displayed.

  • When enabled, this option will result in week numbers (1-53) being displayed in the week header area of the Month View (if week headers are enabled in the Month View's Settings), 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 option.

  • 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 Navigation Pane, Month View, and Desktop Calendar.
  • It will also affect the Monthly print style.

Reminder Date/Time Format

  • Why upgrade to Pro?

    The Pro version adds a List View, showing a list of events within a certain time range. This list can be sorted, filtered, printed, and more. The date and time format used in the List View will match the format selected in the Calendar Options window.

    By default, the date and time format that is shown in the Popup Reminder Window 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.
  • Here's an example of the available date time formats when running in Brazil:
