Calendar Views

[amanda821]

Is there anyway to see different views of the calendar (not via "week" vs. "month," more like showing time intervals on a daily viewer?  Just curious.  Thanks!

We don't currently have a daily view option, but it's something we're considering for a future release. I will pass along your vote for this feature!

I vote for that, too.  I saw a screenshot of the "old" view of the PC Cozi 1.0, with the daily view and the dots that extended down proportionally to the length of the appointment, and my first thought was "They got rid of stuff like that and considered it an UPGRADE?!"


Other beefs:

- Take a hint from Outlook (they're the most widely-used for a reason).  Put a to-do list panel on the home page right alongside the calendar panel.  YOUR NEGLECT OF THIS FEATURE IS THE #1 REASON I STILL MISS GETTING STUFF DONE EVEN WHILE I USE COZI.  Heck, if you're worried about fitting it in with what's already there, put it in place of that silly journal panel (I sure won't want to see my post about the Christmas parade still sitting there in July because I haven't had the time or desire to update it; I'll just be darned sorry I took your "Getting Started" suggestion to post it in the first place).  If the home page stays this user-UNfriendly, I'll just install Outlook on the family laptop (I used it constantly at home until my personal laptop hard drive died, and I use a copy on EACH of my work computers all day every workday).

- Would be nice to have SEPARATE LOGINS for the same family (like the IXL math site, which has a family username and password, but a separate icon and "secret word"--additional password--for each family member, so it can track who's practicing, kids can't mess with the settings, etc.).  I've seen this request a LOT on these forums, and it looks like it's getting a polite smile, then promptly being ignored.  Addressing that could ease not only the "permissions" issue but also would allow each family member to have a custom "home" page in that person's colors, with the calendar and to-do defaulting to that person rather than "all."  Also, sometimes you may wish to schedule an appointment, have everyone know you won't be available, but don't want them to know the DETAILS of the appointment--could work that in somehow.  If it's really too difficult to make separate logins available for EACH family member, maybe the adults can have an "admin" secret word (that takes care of read-only/permissions), and you could put a bar of buttons on the home screen that works the same way the bar of buttons on the calendar does, only for the ENTIRE home screen (shows appointments/lists for only whomever you click).

- You market the Outlook sync tool for use at work, but you forgot all of us who work for corporations with offsite tech departments which keep the network permissions set not to allow us to INSTALL any programs.  Same problem with the screensaver: it downloads the calendar info via the 'Net, but you have to INSTALL the program in the first place.  Would be nice to have a way to sync it without installing anything on the computer (we're not only not allowed, we CAN'T).  I'm not even as worried about seeing the home stuff in Outlook as I am seeing the work stuff in Cozi, so maybe some way Cozi could pull the calendar and task info from the Outlook .pst file?
