Section 4: Using the Calendar (cont'd)

Section 4.4: Calendar Filters - This section details filter creation and usage. Filters are powerful tools which enable calendar users to view events that are in specific categories, or even multiple subcategories within categories.







User filter - The main filter within the Calendar is the User filter. Select any user from the User dropdown list to view only those tasks assigned to the selected user.
Go button - You must click the Go button to view tasks for the selected user. Merely selecting the desired user will not initiate filtering.

More button - Click the More button to apply additional filters. The calendar is designed to accommodate up to five filters, and is shipped with three filters activated. A red ball to the right of the More button indicates that additional filters (beyond the User filter) are in use.

Filtering by user alone does not activate the red filter indicator; it will only appear if additional filters are active. Click the red ball to deactivate all filters except the user filter. To deactivate the User filter, select 'All' from the User dropdown list and click the Go button. Doing so will show events for all users.

The User, Category and Priority dropdown lists are generated from the Task module. This means that only those values which are used in existing tasks will display in these lists. For example, while all existing categories will display in the dropdown lists while creating tasks and appointments, only those categories which have been assigned to existing events will display in the dropdown list in the Filters dialog, shown above.

Adding/Modifying Filters - Any/all of the filters may be modified; 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.
