AWOB Task 009

MPDL,GAVO

General Information
Grouping: Short description:

Discussion

 * It would be nice to support something like 'add meeting', 'add conference' etc instead of 'add item' and choose 'type' since different type of calendar item may require different metadata to describe it.

Add event

 * Adding event page is too long: more than a page long
 * Entering values for any date time eg., Start date, Duration, ...
 * should have an option just to type the value.
 * menu options are too microscopic: shouldn't force to enter 'minutes' info or minutes could have only a few options instead of 60 options.
 * Start Date and Duration- must have an option to NOT to specify their values.
 * Visibility has a list of options (Meeting, telecon, conference, deadline, other):
 * Label is wrong: Must be Event 'type'
 * Typo 'Teleconm' to 'Telecon'.
 * event type enumeration list: 'Conference, Deadline, F2F Meeting, 'Telecon', 'Videocon', Other'
 * For creating an event with type = 'deadline' 'start date' is not relevant.
 * Catagories: Don't know what it is.
 * Tags; interface confusing to use:
 * need a proper explanation how to use them or change the interface.
 * On 'Select' a logged user sees tags defined by other users.
 * On 'Suggestion' : Don't suggest anything even if a typed value exists in Select.
 * Reminder:
 * needs an option for REMINDER pop up on the local desktop, not email
 * no option for sending only one reminder.
 * no idea what each reminder method means.

Event list

 * can become long, so does portlet length. not scrollable
 * Add event from 'Day' option
 * should be able to enter a simple text directly from a day schedule.
 * Not useful to start from 12AM. the list is too long.
 * should somehow show normal working hour by default.
 * Calendar: Year option
 * The indicator showing that there are events on each day doesn't work if there are events today. dot vs underline

side effect of creating an event in calendar

 * Create an event from Dashboard and the item appears on 'Recent Changes in Projects'.
 * This should not appear on the project change list.
 * If an item created in a dashboard calendar with permission 'viewable to anyone'
 * should specify who created the item.
 * should notify people by email that a new item is created, in addition to add the new item on each user's dashboard calendar

Who should be able to add an event to calendard?

 * According to tables in task 006 project members should not be able to add an event
 * But as it is implemented now, the project member can add an event
