Preview of the new calendar

We are getting very close to releasing our new calendar feature which we are been working on now for some time now. Peter is pretty much just in the process of adding the final touches and tweaks to the calendar as I type, he also just has the final phase of tests to carry out as well.

A few of the new features with the new calendar are:

  • Recurring events
  • Drag and drop functionality
  • Multiple reminders
  • Quick add of events
  • Start and end times on events
  • And many more

Before we release it I thought I would quickly show you all it actually running. Now even since I shot this video yesterday there have already been a few improvements to it so you will really have to wait for the release to see how the full version turned out. In the mean time it does give you a very good idea of just how it is looking and how some of the functionality is working.

Now I'm afraid to say that this is not the greatest video I ever shot. It's a very rough and ready video which I shot using my iPhone. I had to do this because we are running it on our test server and I can't connect to that one via my mac, and it is my mac which I use for doing screen captures as it's the one with the software on it.

So I apologize for the shaking hand held video but it will still give you a good idea of how the new calendar is shaping up.

I have also attached a few screen shots here as well for you to all have a look at.

Looks great. If you could add a way to mark an event as complete (in other words, to use it as a task manager as well), that would really be helpful.

Thanks

Fantastic enhancement to the calendar, also agree with Bobby's request.
I am a new subscriber, and stoked with the roll outs you guys are providing, keep them going.
Hi Team, This is great. I'm excited about this new calendar and agree with Bobby's request as well. (Thank you, Bobby!) I have always wondered why solutions don't usually provide a way to mark an event as complete. Looking forward,

Judy

Hi Bobby, John & Judy - I'm here literally working on the new calendar at DCHQ right now. I really want to keep all our customers happy - but are tasks and events not too very distinct things?

Can you help me understand the benefit of allowing you to mark events as complete? That would really help me get this done for you!

Cheers
Peter
