Section 4: Using the Calendar (cont'd)

Section 4.5: Calendar Options - Click the Preferences button in the Calendar button bar to change existing calendar options.





Categories - The Calendar supports ten "live" categories. Changing any of these categories will only affect the dropdown lists available in Task and Appointment creation. The category list that displays in the Filters dialog is derived from those categories assigned to existing tasks.

For example, if you were to create an event in the category "Sales", then change the name of the Sales category on the preferences screen shown above, the name of the category on the event itself would not change. Your category filter dropdown list would contain the Sales category unless you went into that task and changed the category to the new one. In addition, the new category you specified as a replacement for the Sales category would display in the filter lists for all of the events you created after changing the name of the Sales category. For this reason, it is recommended that you set your categories once and leave them.

Changing category colors is possible; access to the programming of the calendar is required in order to accomplish this task. Full Developer Access (Level 4) allows modification of the Calendar module. See our
web site or contact us for more information on gaining access to the programming of the Calendar and other modules.


Other preferences - Choose the view to which you prefer to return after creating events.
