Hi Anna, Some suggestions for and questions about the Calendar list view.
Where you thinking at all of adding tasks to this view based on their due date? I agree that grouping would make this view much more useful. I think a list does not lend itself to showing time relationships well. Being able to group events by the day, week or month they occur in would help. Would a meeting's status ( tentative vs. accepted vs. canceled ) be displayed. Would all day events be differentiated from "normal" events? Would they start at midnight? Will people be allowed to add new events in this view? Will there be a way of showing meetings with conflicting/overlapping times? I think this will be necessary if people are going to be able to edit event times in the view. Under other columns I would add a meeting organizer column. By send do you mean schedule a meeting or forward as iCalendar? I think it might be useful to provide a means of filtering/viewing the list by date/time. The simplest would be to filter events occurring between two dates. For example only display events that occur on M-F this week. Though more sophisticated filters might be useful ( events ending after 5:00 PM, starting before 10:00 AM on Mondays, etc. ). Other useful filters/views might include: - meeting attendee(s) - my/other attendee status - meeting organizer Would events that have their time shown as Free vs. Busy be differentiated? Would the fields in the preview pane be editable? That might be a nice feature, but how difficult would it be to implement? That's all I can think of for now.
