Which Is Your Favourite Calendar View?
Lotus Notes allows you to look at your calendar in many different formats. The options are divided up into groups based on Day, Week, and Month.
To switch to a different view, click on the underlined word "Day", "Week", or "Month" in the tabs at the top of the calendar view.
If you want to choose a specific type of view from one of the groups, click on the triangle next to the word, and you will be presented a list of choices that you can select from.
My personal favourite is the two-day view. It lets me know what I have to do today, as well as allows me to think ahead about what I have coming up tomorrow. I can also see multiple time zones. I sometimes switch to the 5 day work week view to get a quick glance at what my entire week looks line, and for longer term planning (booking trips, looking at my weekends), I switch to the month view.
In case you are a new reader to this site, or if you just need a refresher, I thought I'd link back to a few previous topics which provide details about how you can configure what the various views display: Calendar Preferences - Display Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Similarly, here are some posts which will help you navigate around your calendar: Navigating Your Notes Calendar - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Which is your favourite calendar style and why? Is there a format missing that you would like see?
