You may want to have an Upcoming Meetings and Tasks view (similar to the Home module). This would always provide a quick glance of what is coming soon on the calendar and task side. It also provides a way to display tasks that do not have dates associated with them. You would also want displaying of tasks on the calendar grid to be a user specific option, as some people do not like it.</SPAN></FONT><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Brian</SPAN></FONT><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><BR></SPAN></FONT><DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">On Jun 14, 2006, at 6:44 AM, Gopal wrote:</SPAN></FONT></DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">I think we are planning to phase-out Activities tab, but it doesn't mean we are completely taking out the functionality of Activities - List View.<BR><BR>I proposed the following solution with my team here in India and sharing the same with you all:<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><UL><LI><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">"List View" as a separate view in Calendar along with Day, Week, Month, and Year views.</SPAN></FONT></LI><LI><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">In List View we can have the Custom Views so that users can filter the data according to their requirements.<BR></SPAN></FONT></LI><LI><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">In Calendar, list all tasks on RHS similar to Outlook Calendar.</SPAN></FONT></LI></UL><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">PS: The above approach is followed in Outlook and Yahoo Calendar as well. <BR><BR>I think with this we can phase-out Activities tab and make Calendar module more user friendly.<BR><BR>Please give your views.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Gopal<BR><BR>--------------------------------------- <BR>S.S.G.Gopal</SPAN></FONT><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/js/skypeCheck.js"></SCRIPT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> <BR></SPAN></FONT><A href="skype:sripadag?call"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><IMG src="http://download.skype.com/share/skypebuttons/buttons/call_blue_transparent_70x23.png" style="border: medium none ;" alt="Call me!" height="23" width="70"></SPAN></FONT></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> <BR>Toll Free: +1 877 788 4437 <BR>Blog: </SPAN></FONT><A href="http://gopal.vtiger.com"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">http://gopal.vtiger.com</SPAN></FONT></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><A href="mailto:----fp@crm-now.de">----fp@crm-now.de</A> wrote ---- <BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding: 6px;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> Richie wrote:<BR>"All the Activities will be represented in the Calendar alone."<BR><BR>What a terrible idea!!! The activity list/detail view is needed much! This<BR>is currently the only way you can use to sort your activities by creating<BR>custom lists. You may use these functions to answer questions like:<BR>- What are the activities assigned to a specific user<BR>- Which activities are open<BR>- What activities are connected to a contact/potential/lead<BR>ans so on.<BR><BR>Having activities listed at the calendar only would remove these very useful<BR>functions.
