New...
The New menu option expands into a submenu of commands for
creating new items.
New Calendar
- After selecting this command, a new calendar will be
created. The
Calendar Properties window will be displayed. The calendar will also be added to the
Calendar List.
- The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+C.
New Calendar Group
- The
Calendar List allows
calendars to be grouped. This command will create a new
calendar group in the
Calendar List.
- Existing calendars can be dragged into the new calendar
group, or the group can be right-clicked to add new
calendars to it.
New Category
- This command will create a new category, which can be
used in the Category field of the
Event Editor.
- The new category will be displayed in the
Category Editor, where the
default name and appearance can be modified.
New Event
- After selecting this command, the
Event Editor window will be displayed, where a new event can be defined.
- The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+N.
New Recurring Event
- After selecting this command, the
Recurrence tab of 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.
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 Contact
- This command will cause the
Contact Editor window to be displayed, where a new
contact can be defined.
- The new contact's File As value must be unique,
otherwise the changes will overwrite the existing contact
having the same File As value.
Add Calendar Subscription
- This will initiate a new calendar subscription.
- A new calendar will be created and added to the
Calendar List.
- The Subscribe tab of the
Calendar Properties 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 default keyboard shortcut is F6.
Add Public Calendars and Holidays
- After selecting this command, the
Add Public Calendars
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.
Import Events From iCalendar (ICS)
- After selecting this command, 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 Events To iCalendar (ICS)
- After selecting this command, the
Export Calendar window will be displayed.
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 default 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 default 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.
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 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. The icon will show the
current date and can be right-clicked to quickly access a number of
commands.
