The Options page allows you to customize the IMail Web Calendaring views by setting personal viewing and calendar preferences. You can also access this page at any time by selecting Options from Menu, or by clicking on the Options link at the bottom of the page. Some of the things that you can customize in Options are:
The default view of calendar
The grid interval for Day View
The week start day
Time Zone
Start and End Time for Day
Maximum number of Events, Tasks, and Notes to be displayed
Display completed Tasks
Clock Hours (12 / 24 Hrs.)
Changing the Default View. The default view for IMail Web Calendaring is Month view. However, you can set the options so that a different screen becomes the opening view. See Changing View Preferences.
Grid Interval for Day View. Sets the interval for the hours displayed in the Day view. For example, if you select Half Hour your day view will display the times 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, etc. If you select Hour, it will display the times as 9:00, 10:00, 11:00... You may select from One Hour, Half Hour, or Quarter Hour.
Start Day of the Week. The day that will be displayed as the first day of the week on all calendar views.
Start Time for the Day. The first hour that will appear in the Day view. This is also the earliest time that you can schedule tasks or events.
End Time for the Day. The last time of the day that will appear on Day view. This is also the latest time that you can schedule tasks or events.
Time Zone. The time zone that you want to synchronize IMail Web Calendaring with.
Clock Hours. Select from 12 or 24.
Display Completed Tasks. Select Yes if you want IMail Web Calendaring to display tasks that have been completed on the calendar. If you don't want to see these listed on your calendar, select No.
Note: If you select Yes, tasks marked as completed will still appear on the calendar, however, they will no longer be displayed in the Task List.
Max length of Event Title to Display. This is the number of characters that will be displayed in an event title, not necessarily the number of characters in the full title. The maximum number that you can enter to be displayed is 80. Keep in mind that if you enter 80 here, and the title is actually 80 characters long, then all 80 will be displayed on the calendar views. This may cause distortion in the monthly view. To resolve this, keep the title name at 80 characters, but change the entry in this box to display a smaller number. This will display an abbreviated form of the full title on the calendar views. Clicking on the abbreviated name will then enable you to view the entire name and event data.
Maximum length of Task Title to Display. This is the number of characters that will be displayed in any of the views and task list, not necessarily the number of characters in the full title. Although a task may have a maximum of 80 characters in the full title, the most that will be displayed on the task list and calendar views is 15. You may choose to set this number at less than 15 if you prefer.
Maximum Number of Notes to Display in Note View. Sets the maximum number of notes to display when you click Notes. This number must be greater than the number of actual notes or some of them will not be displayed. It is recommended that the All option be selected.
Maximum Number of Tasks to Display in Task List. Sets the maximum number of notes to display in the Task List. This number must be greater than the number of actual tasks in order for all of them to be displayed on Web Calendaring. It is recommended that the All option be selected.
Maximum Number of Events to Display for a day in Week/Month View. Sets the maximum number of events for one day that will be displayed while in the Week or Month view. This number must be greater than the number of actual events in order for all of them to be displayed while in Week or Month view. This setting does not affect the Day view. Even if all the event entries are not displayed in the Week or Month view, they will still appear in the Day view.
Maximum Number of Recurring Events. This sets the maximum number or times that you want IMail Web Calendaring to repeat an event. For more information see related topics below.
