[Vtigercrm-developers] 6.1.0 Calendar issues?

[Alan Lord]

I've just done a test migration of a database from 5.4.0 to 6.1.0

It's a reasonably big database but not massive IMHO (crmentity has about 
250,000 records - we have much bigger than this)...

I was just browsing around the Calendar. It's a great deal better than 
the original but I notice a few things that could be better.

The Shared Calendar view is very slow to load (Too slow to be very 
useful right now). I was paging through the months thinking there was no 
data. But then I just left it for about 20 - 30 seconds and some items 
then appeared. (No throbber or anything to tell me something is happening).

I've also noticed that I can see items in the "Recently Modified" widget 
in the left hand column, but that some of these do not appear in the 
calendar view itself. I have "Hide Completed Calendar Events" set to 
unchecked.

It would also be nice if the Calendar supported a "Tooltip" like feature 
so just hovering over an entry would show more information about it.

I do not really understand the difference between the Shared Calendar 
view and the Calendar View. In Calendar View I see my stuff right? In 
Shared Calendar View I see other peoples' stuff, but which? Events, 
Todos, Opportunities, Birthdays? What are the items shown in the Shared 
Calendar?

In terms of usability, it's very annoying when you've paged through to a 
particular week or month or whatever that if you click on an item in the 
calendar to see what it is when you go back, it takes you to "today" or 
your week or month depending on your preference but *not* to the time 
you were last at in the calendar. Same when switching between mine and 
the Shared Calendar. I'd expect it to stay in the day/week/month when 
changing between the views.

In the List View I automatically assumed that I could use the search 
fields above the "Start Date & Time" and "End Date" columns to specify a 
window with which to view all calendar items, but it doesn't work like 
that. It's a search of that particular field. This is going to confuse 
people a lot I think...

Also the language is a bit wrong in this view when no item is found... 
It says "No Calendar Found. Create To Do". It should really say 
something like "No Activities Found. Create Event or Todo"
