Calendar

  • Add event: Creates an event. Please note, that this event is assigned by default to the workspace you have currently selected in the left sidebar; if there is no workspace selected, the event is assigned to your personal workspace by default.

  • The view selector lets you switch between month view, week view and dayly view.

  • The navigator lets you jump to the previous/next month/week/day (depending on the view selector - see above).

  • Pick a date: The date picker lets you quickly jump to any date you choose. Please note the graphical representation of the current date (red border) and the date you choose (blue background). The Today button takes you back to the current date from wherever you are.

  • My calendar: Shows only events that you created yourself or events to which you have been invited.
  • By state: Filters events according to whether you are attending or not. For example, when you filter by Pending response you see events to which you have been invited but haven't answered yet, and when you filter by Will attend you show only events that you have confirmed that you attend.
  • By user: Does the same as My Calendar, but for another user which you specify in the submenu.

There is no list view in the Calendar module - use the calender view (see above) instead.1)

When you create an event you have to decide which users you want to invite. In addition you can choose to send invitations by e-mail.

Inviting people has two consequences:

  • Only users who were invited will see this event when they choose the My Calendar view. (But the will see the event on the dashboard.)
  • Users who were invited have the possibility to declare whether they will attend or not in the detail view.

PLEASE NOTE: As of OpenGoo 1.0 RC2 there is no list where you can see who has been invited, who will attend and who has declined.2) So the invitations feature is a bit crippled right now.

Including, but not limited to: Outlook, Cellphones/Smartphones/Blackberries/iPhones, iCal, Thunderbird/Lightning, etc…

“The Calendar synchronization feature is something we certainly want to add. Until we put some sync ability, the calendar will not be finished.”3)

“It is planned, and we have already seen that it wouldn't be too much work. Maybe it will be ready for 1.1 or 1.2”4)

There has been a list view for events in OpenGoo versions before 1.0, but it's not available anymore.
