Customizing your calendar display

Evening!

Just returned late last night from doing some GoldMine training in beautiful, but cold, Toronto, Canada!  Here's a tip I shared with them that went ovr very well, and I think you'll like it too!

On the GoldMine calendar it, by default, shows the contact name and reference of a scheduled activity:

Wouldn't it be nice to also see the company the activity was scheduled with?  If so here's how you do it.  First, go to Edit | Preferences then to the Calendar tab then click More Options.  Choose "Show results of a xBase Expression" and type in this:

iif(trim(cal->accountno) > ' ', trim(contact1->company) + " " + trim(cal->company) + ": " + cal->ref, cal->ref)

Then Click OK.

Voila!

Hi,

This is a great tip! One thing though, the modified display only seems to take hold at the Week and Day level calendar views. If I zoom out to month it reverts back to the contact name only. Is there a reason for this? Can this be changed?

Thanks

Jason
