This page explains how to use the calender for the week, setting time with the mouse and the timer
Calender for a week
One of the meineZIELE calender views is the traditional calender for a week.
To switch to the next or the previous week just click on the buttons (1) or onto the calender overview (4) or change the startdate in the title line.
Every entry has a culomn for the time to the right and an icon of the circle of life / project it belongs to at the left. Moving the cursor over this icon shows the outlined surroundings of the entry as one would see it in the goals view.
At (3) there is a culomn of icons representing the the circles of life / projects or the goals view. To move a new entry into a circle of life, just move its icon to this navigation culomn.
To move an entry to another day drag the icon to the overview calender (4).
Time and Timer
If You prefer to use the mouse press Shift when clicking into the time field. (Or set this as standard in options / settings / calendar). In the time window You can set both time an date by mouse. This window opens with or without calender (1) depending on the view it starts from. Multi-day-events are accepted in this calender (1) too. There are several alternatives to enter a time:
The clock (2) can be set by the minute without using the keyboard:
- Set hours by click whithin the clock
- Set minutes by click outside the clock
- Swich between start and end with the control key
- Switch between am and pm by click on the image to the right of the clock
- am = sunrise
- pm = sunset
The clock shows the current time with green hands. The other hands show the selected hour and minutes and are the same as displayed in the digital clock (4). Time can be set by clicks on this digital clock too (right mous up, left mouse down). Pressing cntrl switches between start and end time (5). You can set the time by clicking the time line (3) too. Changing the text (6) is for timer function only.
Set Timer: Click a line and then click the stop watch button. The clock appears. "Activate alarm" starts the timer (it only runs as long as mZ runs) "Activate time" instead means: The time is updated in the opened entry.
Example for random timer: If some user wanted to check his blood pressure 8 times today at times chosen by accident and with a difference of an hour on average, how would he do this? For the random timer mZ uses the start and end times: The user would set the distance 1 hour as start time (4) and the 8 times as 8 minutes as end time (5). Then he would start the random timer (7).
Block days
With the context menu of the right mouse button days can be blocked in every calender view. This is for a quick overview when looking for a free date. This always creates an entry with text "B". This is for visual information only. You can set events on that day anyway.
