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.
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.
- 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 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:
