Calendar Preferences - Display Part 2
Today's topic continues my explanation
of the Calendar Preferences' Display tab that began here.
As a reminder, you access the preferences by clicking on the "Tools"
action, and choosing "Preferences..."
This brings you to the Preferences dialogue box. First click on
the "Calendar & To Do" tab, then click on the "Display"
tab. While the first tip covered the "How the Calendar View
is Displayed" section, this tip is going to cover the settings found
in the "Displaying Calendar Entries in Mail Views" section as
shown below.
The first setting, "Put C&S document into a special New Notices
MiniView for processing" refers to the "mini-view" that
is available on the bottom left hand corner of your mail file, as shown
below. The two arrows who the actions you can take on the
"mini-view". The first allows you to choose what
to display, Follow Up (I'll cover this in a future tip), New Notices, or
To Dos. The second arrow is showing you that you can "minimize"
the mini-view. When minimized, the icon changes to "maximize"
,
allowing you re-open the mini-view.
The next two settings, "Don't display new calendar entries and notices
in the All Document view of Mail" and "Don't display new Meeting
invitations in the Send view of Mail", along with the final setting
"Types of Meeting notices to be shown in your Inbox" are what
I refer to as "house-keeping" settings. They don't really
affect the way you "work with" your calendar but instead, can
help keep the associated views (All Documents, Sent and Inbox) "less
clustered". Remember, you can always find the calendar documents
in the calendar's "Meetings" view. (which by the way is renamed
All Calendar Entries in Notes 7, so you now have an All mail view, and
an All calendar view.)
The second to last setting "Remove Meeting invitations from your Inbox
after you have responded to them" is a very important one.
This allows you to have the invites automatically "removed from folder"
after accepting, declining, delegating, or counter-proposing a meeting
invite.
Take a look at each of these settings, decide where you like to see the
various calendar related documents, and then customize Notes to behave
the way you want it to.
