Change time column in iCAL

Hi: I am a physician, and I organize the schedule for the Docs at my hospital. We have (for example), pediatrician, orthopaedics, internists, etc. For several years, I have used an excel sheet that basically formats as follows:
GROUP June 29 June 30 Jul 1 July 2 July 3 July 4 July 5
Anesthesia x y z
Pediatrics Dr. X J S L
So basically, it allows the Er to tell who is on-call that day. NOTE: our tradition is that the Doc is on-call that entire day, so I do NOT need to divide into time frames.
I would like to use iCAL instead of EXCEL, but I can't make the 'times" appears as specialties.
Also: any option to make different EVENTS as different colors?

Finally I found out how to change it!!!
> System Preferences > Landuage & Text > Formats
press "Customize" in "Times" figure
where time elements(numbers is blue) press on little white arrow and choose "00-23"
that`s it)

ICal changes times of my events based on Time Zone! Argh!

This is so weird...
I travel btwn NYC and LA, and if schedule an event on my iCal, either on the iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro (all connected via MobileMe), when I change time zones, it changes the time of the event for that time zone. As opposed to keeping it at the correct time that it was actually scheduled at. For example, if I'm in New York City, and create an event for the following week that's taking place at 8pm, when I get to Los Angeles, it tells me the event is at 5pm.
I leave all of my Apple products to Automatically Set Time based on location. Is there something else I should be doing here?
Help!

Go to settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar; then time zone support. Set your time zone.

How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

Hi
Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
guidance welcomed
ross

In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

IPod changes times for iCal events

My iPod seems to be changing the time of my iCal events. For example, the event in iCal is set for 1 p.m., but when I use iSync to sync, it shows up on my iPod as starting at 8 a.m.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the response. Do you know how I can match time zones? I've got my iMac set up on the Central time zone, and my iPod also shows the correct Central time zone. I haven't been able to find a time zone setting in iSync.

Writing 2-D array to spreadsheet file changes value of time column when saved

I have a program that creates a new row in a table each time the loop performs. Each time the loop performs and a row is added to the table, the program uses the "write to spreadsheet file.vi" to save this new table over the previous table. The array is also visible on the front panel of the vi. The program works in such a way that you can stop adding data to the array, start adding data to a new array, then come back to the original by using the "read from spreadsheet file.vi". My problem comes after opening the spreadsheet file. The first column of the array, which corresponds to the time when the data in that row was taken, has different values than those that were seen when the array was originally displayed on the front panel. In fact, all of the rows that were created the last time the program was run with that array have the same value in the time column, while all of the other columns keep their correct values. Here is an example of what is happening...
When I start the program, and run it for 5 iterations, I get a table like this displayed on the front panel:
3241713920
85.88012
93.88012
1.735015...
3241713930
85.97603
93.97603
1.747003...
3241713940
84.58855
92.58855
1.573568...
3241713950
84.48096
92.48096
1.560119...
3241713960
84.93667
92.93667
1.617084...
This array is saved to the spreadsheet file with each added row. If I initialize and build another array, then come back to this first array using "read from spreadsheet file.vi," I will receive the following table:
3241713920
85.88012
93.88012
1.735015...
3241713920
85.97603
93.97603
1.747003...
3241713920
84.58855
92.58855
1.573568...
3241713920
84.48096
92.48096
1.560119...
3241713920
84.93667
92.93667
1.617084...
If anyone could tell me why this is happening and/or how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated. One option I have contemplated is just having each individual row appended to the file instead of resaving the entire array with each iteration. However, I would prefer to do it the way I am currently doing it, so I can pass the array through each time and perform different tasks on it, such as averaging the values in columns over different time periods. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Changing the default Repeat Times list in iCal Alarms?

Has anyone ever figured out a way to change the default "repeat times" list on iCal Alarms?
[img]http://img.skitch.com/20091129-xe9qr7yt94d8e6bq5pp3nya574.jpg[/img]
I'd love to add a few to iCal's current offerings, like "4 hours" "8 hours" etc.

Dear Rich
Welcome to Apple Forums,
I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you.

How can i change the column label text in a alv table display

how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
* declare column, settings, header object
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
get column by specifying column name.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
set Header Text as null
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).
My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."
i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
Thanks,
Suri

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...
DATA : lr_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
 lr_if_controller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table,
 lr_cmdl TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table,
 lr_col TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA : node_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
 elem_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
 stru_year TYPE if_alv_layout=>element_importing,
 item_year LIKE stru_year-i_current_year,
 lf_string TYPE char(x),
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column_header.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
Get the entered value from the input field of the screen
node_year = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'IMPORTING_NODE' ).
elem_year = node_year->get_element( ).
elem_year->get_attribute(
 EXPORTING
 name = 'IMPORT_NODE-PARAMETER'
 IMPORTING
 value = L_IMPORT_PARAM ).
WRITE L_IMPORT_PARAM TO lf_string.
Get the reference of the table
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
 lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
lr_column_settings = lr_if_controller->get_model( ).
get column by specifying column name.
IF lr_column_settings IS BOUND.
 lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME').
set Header Text as null
 lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
 lr_column_header->set_text( lf_string ).
endif.

Disable email notification of changes of events in iCal?

I have a shared calendar that some of my colleagues subscribe to on iCal. Whenever I make a time change to an event or add a new event on my shared iCal, one of my colleagues gets an email notification about it (sometimes he's getting 10 emails a day about my iCal). Is this a setting I can change on my end or is it something that he needs to change. (BTW - I am not getting any of these emails)
Thanks so much!
Lauren

Hi Lauren. I think I figured this out.
I share my calendar with my wife and two kids. One kiddo was upset he got so many calendar changes. The other didn't get any emails. From what I found, your colleague needs to do this in iCloud (I hope this is how you share calendars or I'm wrong!).
Once your colleague logs in to his iCloud account and goes to his calendar, click on the green 'broadcast' icon to the right of YOUR calendar (your calendar should be listed on the far left side of his iCloud calendar window). Once they do this, a pop-up window should appear and a check box at the bottom of the window says 'Email me when this calendar changes'. Uncheck that and they shouldn't get any more emails when you change times on your calendar. The downside is I don't think they'll get an email alert when you create an event as well.
I hope this helps.

Change the column width on the fly

Dear all,
I have a problem, i have a matrix report, the row is "the project name" and the column is "the items" using within each project, and the problem is the items are variable from time to time the report run for each project, so its exceeds the paper width.
And the question is, is there any way to change the width of the column on the fly, i mean dynamiclly change the column width each time the report is called to make all items fit the paper width.
Thank u

i don't think that we can change the layout of the column in reports
The simple solution for that problem is that u have to
fix the horizontal and vertical layout of the text item
better is to post this problem at reports forum

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dynamic-column-headers-using-presentation-variables-sets-and-conditional-formatting/
As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.
Waited too long to publish this... Madan beat me to it, so there is some overlap here...

Displaying 'Date & Time' Column

Hi there, I did do some searching/ reading prior to posting this, but haven't found what I'm looking for...
I want to copy/ paste all my texts from my Nokia 6288 to my pc...
-this works no hassle, I simply use the Nokia Phone Browser to load all my 'Inbox' and 'Sent Items' and move them to the desired folder on my hard drive...
Problem is, in the Nokia Phone Browser, I get columns I can't seem to get in either Windows XP Pro or Windows Vista Business (which has more columns on offer)...
This means, when im looking at the files on my PC, rather than using the nokia phone browser, i dont get the same details which is a bit of a problem for me...
So what I want to know is:
How do i get the Date & Time Column (and all the columns the Nokia Phone Browser displays) to show up in Windows XP or Vista or both?
Thanks in advance

Hi Austin,
I have two remarks about that.
1) It's better to put the population of change/history attributes into a table trigger of type before row where you assign these values. eg.:
:NEW.CREATE_DATE := SYSDATE;
:NEW.CREATE_USER := NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER);The reason is, it will consistently work for all applications which try to insert a record into this table and don't have to worry about change attributes and second, when you use the default property of APEX it will populate the column with the value when the new row was displayed and not when it was saved and third, a user would be able to fake this value and write something else into it (eg. with Firebug or by saving the HTML page) and "create" the record with a different time as you would expect. -> Define the column as "display only doesn't save state"
2) Don't rely on automatic type conversion, remember that for APEX everything is a string that also means that your default value expression has to return a string to be 100% sure that it work on all systems where the default database format mask of Oracle could be different. Change your code to
TO_DATE(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')Just some thoughts, but a testcase on apex.oracle.com is always good to reproduce and help with such a problem.

Set Time Automatically without changing time zones?

Is there a way to choose Set Time Automatically (in Settings/General/Date & Time) and not have Calendar change the times of my appointments when I change time zones?

Here's what solved my problem: NOT checking Set Time Automatically, and NOT checking Set Time Zone Automatically. Then manually selecting the proper time zone and city.
Doing that displays the correct local time, without changing iCal times.

Default time frame for ICAL events

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day". Is there any way to change this?

Hi,
If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting 11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.
Best wishes

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal. Except I don't know where these are coming from or why. I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically. Any Clues? Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

Greetings,
What do you mean by "events to update"? Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
Troubleshooting:
1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
2. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Sorting on time column is giving error in 3.1 endeca

Hi All,
When I am doing sorting on event time column I am getting below error:
An error occurred while executing query: exception encountered while executing external function 'internal:navigation-query', caused by error endeca-err:MDEX0001 : Invalid input : Error in EQL Query: - In statement "_$Records_1385576435829": In ORDER BY clause: ORDER BY clauses may refer only to attributes defined in the same statement; "EVENT_TIMEYEAR" is not
I am not sure what this error is.What should be done to remove this or should I remove sorting on this column?
Thanks,
Amrit

Amrit, it is possibly the changed treamment of ARB.
What kind of error are you getting for those columns that are erroring?
Please see this topic from the Endeca Server 7.6.x Migration Guide which highlights the differences in EQL (Endeca Query Language), that took place in this release:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40521_01/server.760/es_migration/toc.htm#Endeca%20Query%20Language%20changes
You will see the following: (quoting from the linked documentation):
For EQL 7.6.x, the ARB,COUNT, andCOUNTDISTINCT functions have been updated to work with multi-assign attributes.You will also see that "In 7.6, an implicit ARB is no longer added. That is, a SELECT of non-aggregate attributes is no longer allowed".
Also, see the following doc, about the ARB function: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40521_01/server.760/es_eql/toc.htm#ARB
In this doc, it is stated:
ARB works as follows:
For a single-assign attribute,ARBfirst discards all NULL values and then selects an arbitrary but consistent value from the remaining non-NULL values. If the attribute has no non-NULL values, then NULL is returned.
For a multi-assign attribute,ARBlooks at all of the rows in the group (including those with empty sets) and selects the set value from one of the rows. In other words, empty sets and non-empty sets are treated equally. This means that because the selection is arbitrary, the returned set value could be an empty set. TheARBreturn type is the same as its argument type: if attribute x is anmdex:long-set, then so is ARB(x). If the attribute has no non-NULL values, then the empty set is returned.
