Calendar
A key philosophy of OnePlace is that planning, scheduling and doing are three distinct and separate activities. Only you knows everything that is going on in your life, and what impacts your ability to do certain tasks from day to day. So, whom better to schedule the work than you? Your OnePlace Calendar provides a place where you can view all the work you need to do (personal and shared), and allows you to organize when you think you can get things done.
Scheduled Tasks Calendar
Tasks can be scheduled (added to the calendar, moved to a different date in the calendar, removed from the calendar) in one of two ways. The first is using drag and drop, and the second is using task action icons. Click here to learn more about using these techniques to schedule tasks.
You can adjust the days that appear in the calendar by doing one of the following:
- Scroll the calendar one day at a time - Click the up and down arrow icons to the left of the title of the top and bottom days shown in the calendar to scroll one day at a time.
- Scroll the calendar one week at a time - Click the left and right arrow icons in the light blue toolbar to scroll one week at a time.
- Make today the top date in the calendar - Click the "Jump to Today" link in the light blue toolbar to make today the first date shown in the calendar.
- Start the calendar on a specific date - Click the "Jump to Date" link in the light blue toolbar to pick a specific date as the first date shown in the calendar.
Clicking the "Show completed tasks" check box will show/hide tasks on your schedule that have been completed. Use this feature as a way to quickly reduce the amount of information shown in your calendar.
Monthly Calendar
OnePlace has a calendar that gives you the familiar looking monthly view, and the ability to view events, tasks and projects for when they are scheduled to occur. You can customize the view of your calendar by using the settings in the gray sidebar on the left side of the calendar. You can elect to show/hide events, projects, task deadlines and scheduled tasks. You can also show/hide completed tasks and projects
To add something to the calendar, either click the "Add" button in the sidebar, or, hover over a day in the calendar and click the little green "+" icon that appears. You can add events, projects and tasks to your calendar.
This view blends together information across all the workplaces that you are a member of. While this is great to give you a birds eye view of what's going on in your OnePlace world, at times it may be too much information. No problem, you can easily hide information from select workplaces by un-checking (hiding) those workplaces in the Calendars lists in the settings sidebar.
OnePlace also provides a way for you to publish your scheduled events to external calendars such as Outlook, Google Calendar, and any other calendaring application that supports the standard iCal format. You can do this by turning on the iCal feed for your calendar. Simply click the iCal feed link in the settings sidebar, and a dialog will pop up allowing you to turn on the feed, and providing you with the feed url that you can enter into an external calendar application.
