Timescale on Grid View

Hi,
I notice that the Grid View in Complete displays two weeks, whereas in Calendar this is just a day. Is this something that can easily be changed in Calendar (have I missed something simple in a script somewhere!) or is this a whole new layout / option for Complete? Might it become available in a future version of Calendar. Will Gantt charts become available in Calendar also?

Many thanks,

Crispin

Hi Crispin,

The Grid view defaults to a day scale (showing two weeks) but you can change this using the Time Scale Increment on the calendar's Filters tab: changing it to something like 1 hour or 15 minutes will bring it back to a single day's focus.

You can also change the default behavior by editing the script "Load Settings - On Startup --- Edit Configuration Here ---". You'll see the default increment for this view after the comment "Load default time scale for Grid View (many people like "day" here)".

And yes, we do plan to release a version of Pro which has a gantt chart in it, but it is coming a bit more slowly than I thought. I'd like to think this will happen before DevCon. Sign up for our mailing list to learn when it ships: http://www.seedcode.com/subscribe

Hi John,

I can't find the comment "Load default time scale for Grid View" in the script "Load Settings - On Startup --- Edit Configuration Here ---" in the Calendar. I don't appear to have deleted it (have gone back to the original 'untouched' version to check). I can find a reference to Grid View time scales in the "Refresh Calendar { UseExistingData ; DontRefresh }" script, but that doesn't seem to be the place to edit it. Is this in Calendar or Complete (or both) and I'm being really dense?

Many thanks,

Crispin

This is in Complete v 2.1 and up: the Pro calendar has the same grid view, and the same filters, but it's grid view shares the default increment with the other views. The comment you're looking for is the one above the comment "Default to starting the date on Monday?" if that helps.

Aha, i have Calendar, not Complete.... have diverted the Grid Button to another script to set TimeScaleGlob to 'day' and then run Go To Calendar Tab script with the Script Parameter. TimeScaleGlob of course neatly reverts to 15 min when you switch away from Grid View (or half hour in my case, as I've tweaked it).

Many thanks for your time,

Crispin
