Calendar Views
weCal features these calendar views: a Month,
Week and Day View.
When the Month View is collapsed, the Day View is shown.
When rotated to a horizontal ('landscape') orientation, weCal switches to Week View.
Month View
In this view all weeks of the current month are shown, together with weeknumbers and the days in
those weeks with names of those days. Appointments of each day are shown with spiral shaped indicators.
These indicators give a clear view of which hours are planned for each day. Appointments that last the whole day are
indicated with a green bar beneath the hours spiral.
The button in the top left corner is used to add appointments to the selected day. The top right button is used
to collapse the Month View and switch to Day View. Navigating to the next and previous day is done by swiping a finger
across the screen to the left or the right.
Week View
When in Calendar View and oriented in landscape mode, weCal will show the Week View. In the Week View, the
appointments for each day is displayed in a scrollable subview.
In this view weeknumbers are shown and appointments can be added. Navigating to the previous or next day is done by
swiping to the left or to the right.
Day View
In day view all hours of the day are displayed in a list. Green rectangles represent the time appointments are planned.
If appointment overlap occurs, the rectangles adjust their width to fit the screen. Appointments that are planned
occupying the whole day are represented by a green bar on top of the hour list.
The hour list is scrollable by swiping a finger vertically across the screen. Horizontal swipes control navigation to the
next or previous day.
Hour indication (Month View)
The spiral-shaped 24 hour indicators give an apparently clear view of the planning of each day of the month.
Hours from AM to PM are indicated by segments of the spiral with a green color, whilst PM to AM planned appointments
are represented by a segment with a blue color. Hours with overlapping appointments are represented with the color red.
For appointments with the duration of a whole day, a green bar is displayed beneath the spiral.
Adding appointments
Define an appointment title and location, these will be visible in week and Day View. Set appointment starting time and duration.
Set appointment reoccurrence or plan appointments with 'all day' duration. Choose when to receive appointment reminder alarms.
Add important notes to appointments or invite contacts from the address book to attend a meeting. After an appointment is added,
there's always the option to edit appointment data from one of the Calender Views at a later time.
Appointments List
The Appointment List consists of all the appointments in the current month, the previous month and the next month.
Appointments are sorted by day and show the titles and
locations. Any appointment with a recurrence, reminder-alarm or invitations are recognized by specific logos.
Landscape-mode
If the iPhone is rotated in appointment editing mode the view will adjust to the new orientation. When the editing mode
is entered from landscape oriented Week View, the editing view will start up in that same orientation.
Fast-select minutes option
Setting appointment time and duration is done using the 'datepicker' function. weCal features fast-select buttons for each quarter
of an hour. This means setting starting and ending-time will be both easier and faster.
Fast-select date option
In the Month and Day View you can directly jump to a specific date. This is done by tapping the top-middle
of the screen where the current month or date is displayed.
Selecting the desired date in the Datepicker enables large leaps forward and backward in time.
