Beginning in Lotus Notes 7, users can choose to filter the information which is displayed on their calendar.  The filters allow you to view just a subset of your calendar based on the name of the person chairing the event, the type of calendar entry it is, or the entry's status.  You can also choose to only view private calendar events.

If you choose to filter "By Chair", the dialog box below appears, allowing you to enter the name (or part of a name) to filter by.

Similarly, the dialog boxes below appear when you choose to either filter "By Type" or "By Status".

When any filter is selected, the "Unfilter" action will appear on the Action Bar.

Also, the Lotus Notes title bar will indicate that "Filtered Document Only" are being displayed.

Here is a demo of how it works...

    Finally! Hope this is available to developers the same way as single category views - well rather in a better way than that!

    Will have to check the beta...

    I was not aware of this new feature, should help reduce clutter at times

    I've not dug too deep into it, but it appears to use @SetViewInfo( [SETVIEWFILTER] ; filterString ; columnName ; isCategory ), and in a Calendar view: @SetViewInfo( [SETVIEWFILTER] ; filterString ; columnName ; exactMatch ).

    Hi Petr, filter by Category is not currently available without you modifying (chaging the design of) the template.
