The BORG main screen has 4 different views of the calendar: year, month, week, and day. Navigation buttons appear on the top of each calendar screen and are intuitive (Let me define intuitive. When I say intuitive, it means that I am describing something that I haven’t documented yet, and might not document, because it seems to be obvious enough. For example the "next" button on the main month window).
If
the current month is being viewed, the current day will appear dark
pink (configurable). Weekends are shaded slightly darker than
weekdays. Days can also be marked as vacation days, and if so, will
appear green. All of these colors are
fully user tunable from the options screens.
To
add/remove/update appointments for a given day, just right click on
the text area for that day to bring up a menu. Clicking on an
appointment will let you edit (double-click to edit) or drag it.
Right clicking on an appointment will bring up menu options specific
to that appointment.
To the right of each week is a button that will produce a "week view" when pressed. The week view is a grid view of the week that plots the scheduled appointments for each day according to their start time and duration. The start and end range of the grid and the fonts used are user tunable through the options screen. The week view can be sent to a printer via a menu option.
A single-day view, similar to the week view, can be obtained by pressing the date button for a day. The start and end hours of the week view will also be used as the start and end hours for the day view.
Appointments that show up in the time grid as boxes can be resized and moved via the mouse (button 1). Just click on the center of a box to move it, or click on the top or bottom edge to resize. Once the move or resize is complete, the appointment times will be updated.
Hover over an appointment in either view to get the full text of the appointment.
Double click on an appointment to bring it up in the appointment editor. Double click outside of any appointment to bring up an editor to add a new appointment.
Clicking the right mouse button will bring up a menu. If you do this within an appointment, the menu will give you choices specific to the appointment. If you right click outside of any appointment, you get options to add a new appointment via the appointment editor unless you have selected a new appointment time range as described below.
By clicking button 1 and dragging the mouse outside of any appointment, you can select a time range for a new appointment. This will appear as a green box. Once a time range is selected for a new appointment, clicking the right mouse button and selecting the option to add a new appointment will quickly add a new appointment in the selected time range. The user will be prompted for the appointment text.
