6. Calendar View

The calendar view shows all past and upcoming reminders by day. This view is always accessible by selecting its tab at the top of the application.

In order to better understand this section, please note the following terms.

Reminder

A scheduled event that will occur on the calendar and that represents something to remember. Reminders are useful to record upcoming bills or tasks.

6.1. Design & Layout

The calendar view is primarily just a calendar showing up to six weeks at once. Each week has a full seven days following the Gregorian calendar system. Each day on the calendar shows any reminders that occur on that day. A reminder can be assigned a color and name to be more easily recognizable (see Reminders Editor for setting reminder properties). An example of the calendar view is shown in Fig. 6.1.

At the very top of the calendar view, above the main content area, is the command bar. The command bar contains actions useful when working with the calendar. On the far right-side of the command bar is the Edit button (which is available in most views). Pressing this button will open the edit menu which allows for editing accounts, reminders, fields and other primary data. For further information see Command Bar Actions in Actions.

When the application window size is large enough a side pane will appear to the right of the calendar. This side pane has a list of all upcoming events, grouped by month, for the next few months. Events in this list can be double pressed to open them in the Reminders Editor.

6.2. Actions
