Scheduled Appt improvements

The main thing I miss when working with scheduled appts in the blog of a contact or anywhere is is that I cannot see what else I have scheduled for myself or the other participants. It would be extremely helpful to know that I already have something booked at 10am so I can schedule a follow up call at 11a instead. Running back and forth between the activities page and the blog is a bit frustrating.

This would of course apply to tasks, and what I’ve asked for in Call Logs too.

I should add that it would be nice if when I changed the start time of an appt it would NOT default back to an hour duration. I want it to change the end time for me and keep my duration.

I created a Project blog to schedule things for members of the blog, but I would really like to be able to make appointments that don’t have to do with a project, but with a user.  Example: John (a user) has a dentist appointment Thursday at 2:30. Jane (a user) is on vacation 23-27 Dec.

You can do this.  Just open the calendar, Workspace > Activities Dashboard > Show calendar events for, create an event by double-clicking on the date/time, on the line “Show event as” just choose private or shared i.e. do not link the event to another item.

What exactly are you responding to? There are three wishes in this thread and I’m assuming the last… so how about thoughts on the other two!

The reply was in response to the last post.  If different we normally refer to the original one.

Your original points seem clear; I don’t have anything particularly helpful to add to them.  Currently you refer to the calendar to check for scheduling conflicts.

Thanks, I didn’t realize that!
