Diaries

Changing the Diary Display

Each user can configure their own view of the diary display. In other words, different users can view the same diary but see different views of the appointments. For example, you can configure the start & finish times of the day, whether or not weekends are displayed, the duration of the time divisions, and whether or not thick lines are shown. It's useful to think of these configurations as a 'mask' that is applied when viewing the diary.

Click the Tools menu and select Options.
In the Options window select the Diary Display tab.
Click the Show times in 12 hour clock checkbox if you want times displayed in am/pm format.
Select the Start hour and the End hour you want to use when the diaries are displayed.

NB. This is only a viewing mask. It does not prevent appointments being entered outside the mask.
Select the required Time Divisions from the drop down box. e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 mins

NB. You can still enter appointments which overlap these divisions.
Select how often you want a horizontal bold line to appear using the drop down box.
Select whether or not you want Saturday and Sunday to display using the 'Diary shows' drop down box.
Enter the Minimum hour height in pixels.

This controls the minimum height of the time divisions and is used to prevent the divisions becoming too small when the window is re-sized and made smaller. Increasing the value will not necessarily increase the height of the divisions. If all the divisions can be accommodated in the display the display will remain unchanged. If the lower part of your appointment text is missing then you should increase this value.
Enter the Minimum day width in pixels.

This controls the minimum width of the days and is used to prevent the days becoming too small when the window is re-sized and made smaller.
Set the Default Appointment Duration.
Set the Day and Week Font Size to control the size of the fonts displayed in the day and week views.
Click the OK button.
