Similar functionality to Google/Outlook Calendar advice required

Hi all,
I have built an Apex app that is used to create jobs and assign them to an engineer. It is a straightforward app and we are now looking at adding some new functionality, specifically I have been asked to provide a diary type view of the jobs scheduled for each engineer to help with the allocation of new jobs.
I have tried the out of the box Calendar region in Apex and it isn't quite what I require and I was wondering if anyone had some advice and guidance that they could offer to help me out?
The easiest way to describe what I would like to achieve is a Day view similar to the Google Calendar interface, or Outlook Calendar, where you have the hours of the day down the side of the page and for each engineer their jobs that have been scheduled for that day is shown in a block that covers the time that the job has been scheduled from and to i.e. 9am - 10.30am.
I have searched this forum and the internet for something similar that I could adapt but have so far have not found anything, I love the example in this post:
[http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html|http://rutgerderuiter.blogspot.com/2008/07/drag-planboard.html]
however I think it is not quite what I require and is more advanced than my simple JavaScript skills could handle!
In order to visually illustrate what I have in mind, the following is a good example:
[http://www.pioneerinteractive.com/screenshots/sched-day-view.JPG|http://www.pioneerinteractive.com/screenshots/sched-day-view.JPG]
My data is structured pretty much as you would expect where there is a table of jobs with columns for job no, engineer, date start time & date end time, job description.
If anyone can provide me with some tips on how to achieve what I have explained, or even a different approach that you think would satisfy what I have discussed then I would really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Stu

I've found a work-around to this. I import the ICS event into "Calendar", then visit it in iPhone Calendar and change its calendar to Google Calendar, it then synchs properly.

Outlook calendar or google calendar on iphone?

Hi,
I am trying to decide whether to use Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to synch to my iphone 4. Does one function better than the other on the iphone? It would be particularly helpful for me to be able to synch more than 1 calendar.

lbarsness,
It is possible to sync both an Outlook Calendar and a Google Calendar to your iPhone.
See http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for instruction on syncing your Google Calendar along with your Gmail and Google Contacts.
So sync your Outlook Calendar, you will have to make sure what ever mail/calendar account your using is accessible through Microsoft Exchange and that remote access is enabled. If it is a work account, often times employers do not allow remote access through unapproved mobile devices. The best way to find out is to go into your Outlook under Tools > Accounts and click "Edit" for the account you want.
I find that both are equally functional on the iPhone. You can set a default calendar in your iPhone settings and when you add a new event can choose which calendar you want to add it on.

Reloaded Firefox and now I cannot get Outlook calendar to give me "Notifications" when tasks/appts come due. Please help as I need this function badly!

Not much more to add. I did a restore to an earlier time and still no joy. I am at a loss. I am not a totally savvy computer person at all, just know enough to get into trbl. That is why I stay away from most things that require me to make judgement calls. However this was a black/white decision and now I cannot get an important aspect of my Outlook calendar to work----Help please!

Mix between MS Outlook Calendar and Mac Contacts - how I got to work

I've tried to mix my work PC computer with Microsoft Outlook Calendar with my Mac based iPhone. This is how I did it. Can this be done by mobileme?
For Now it this works with Outlook over USB.
My Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 windows XP within firewall is now synchronized to my Phone
It now works great .. even if not wireless [can live with that..at least for now] and even if attachment does not sync no pdf, word, excel or pictures in the notes is synchronized.
Amazingly simple, I'm sure I tried this before ..but maybe the 2.01 changed something or iTunes 7.7.1 ..
My set up
I have my master mac synced to the iPhone itself i.e. iPod/music and pictures
I have my contacts and mail synced as MobileMe.
I Turned off the iCal MobileMe
I connected the office laptop with usb connector to iPhone. ..it asks for where/how to sync photos. [To turn this off: On PC go to Control panel- Scanners & Hardware - Cameras. Select "Apple iPhone" ] and opens ITunes.
ITunes ask what to do since my iPhone is linked with another computer.. I click merge, make sure nothing on the iTunes is selected ..more than calendar and outlook.
Appears to sync fawlessy and update both to and from iPhone… subject and location and notes sync but no attachment. Notes have a characther limit. with a meeting request, I do not seam to be able to access participants. With alarm set this pops up even with screen/iPhone locked similar to how a SMS is displayed
It appears that most of the time I need to reconnect because ITunes reports "ITunes cannot sync information because sync has been disabled…Do you want to enable syncing" Clicking OK appears to fix it i.e. at least fix it temporarily
Syncing with MS Outlook works with it running but also when not running.
The first sync took some time, possibly because it also backs up the iPhone [some 10gb data]. Repeated sync takes a minute or less
..and in atypical PC fashion you need to restart iTunes and disconnect iPhone from time to time.
Great!

The HP applications no longer work under Snow Leopard. Support for printing and scanning with HP devices is now built in to the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. Updated HP drivers are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
I was unsure about which HP software to delete so I used the HP uninstall app to delete it all. Unfortunately, it deleted the new Snow Leopard installed drivers as well. I then had to download the HP driver set from Apple to restore functionality. Printing is just as it was before, but scanning is done differently and feels a bit strange at first. All in all, it is probably a good thing as I always found HP's software to be a bit clunky and crash prone. I do miss being able to scan from within Photoshop via the TWAIN selection, though. Perhaps that will return in time.

How can I get Outlook calendar to sync with iPhone and iPad?

I think I have tried evert known setting but syncing seems very selective. I have googled for solutions, too.
Currently, I load an even into my Outlook calendar (and have the right boxes checked in iTunes) but I am damned if the even will transpose to either my iPhone or my iPad! My Outlook also displays the iCloud calendar too.
Is there a definitive instruction that is, effectively, a child's guide to setting up Outlook to transpose events to the Apple devices AND vice-versa?
In my iPhone and iPad, I have the iCloud sync box ticked. In my phone calendars I have both PC and iCloud ticked. Events show in my Outlook and Outlook iCloud but not in the &^&^*&^(*&(*)&(* iPhone or iPad. I have had some close shaves over missing events and want to have this solved.
Pleeeeease?
Ron

An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

Outlook Calendar Sync - Possible Fix - Windows XP

So, I too had the problem where my Outlook 2003 SP2 Calendar (running on XP SP2) would not sync. I would choose the proper settings, iTunes would go through sync process and nothing would transferred. So after a few Google searches, I did the following.
1. I performed the Microsoft Windows Update. Whatever came up, I did them all. If you're not sure how to force an update, go to www.windows.com and look for "Security Updates..."
2. I performed the "Check for Updates" and "Detect and Repair" functions under Microsoft Outlook (located under the Help menu in MS Outlook).
3. I added iTunes.exe to the DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Do this by right clicking on My Computer from your desktop, choose Properties, choose the Advance tab, choose Data Execution Prevention tab, click the radio button for "Turn on DEP...", click on Add..., browse for your iTunes.exe file (usually under C:\Program Files\iTunes), click Open, click Apply, and then close all windows. Now restart your computer, start iTunes, start Outlook, make sure you choose Outlook as the "sync from" source and sync away!
Note: I sync my Contacts via Yahoo. I tried changing my Contact source to Outlook and it didn't work -nothing showed up. Oh well, I'll just use Yahoo for Contact source.
Note 2: Whatever your results are, I take no responsibility for any mishaps.
Good Luck!

Thanks for your help. I did all the things you mentioned, but still nothing. I have previous but not current. It just won't pick up each others information. There must be a reason it found it the first time and not now. Crazy huh? Thanks again. If you hear anything it will be great to find out.

Help to get the correct Calendar Week value as in Outlook Calendars

Hello there,
I am using a Calendar in my application implemented using Java Swing. I have a new requirement to show even the "*Calendar Week*" beside the week row in the first column just like how it is Microsoft Outlook*.
How do I get the Calendar Week. Is there any function in Java? I tried this, but it is not the right value.
import java.util.Calendar;
public class GetWeekOfMonthAndYear {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // create Calendar instance
          Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
          now.set(2010, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
          System.out.println("Date as set about is : "+now.getTime());
          System.out.println("Current week of year is : " +now.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
Output*
Date as set about is : Fri Jan 01 12:17:37 IST 2010
Current week of year is : 53
I am supposed to get "1" as the output but getting 53.
Could you please tell me what went wrong and how do I go about implementing the functionality of Calendar week in our program.

Hi there,
I have changed the Outlook Calendar week settings for 2010 via the following steps;
1. I Opened Outlook application->Tools (menu) -> option to open a dialogue.
2. Click Calendar options button from above dialog box. This opens another dialogue box.
3. A field called First week of year appears with Starts on Jan-1 as default value. I selected First 4-day week".
From then on What was earlier Week 1 for Jan 1 2010 began to appear as Week 53 in Outlook. Hence My program was no more correct.
*+Need some help on how to approach this time of errors.+*What error? I told you that that is how it works. E.g. week 1 in 2010 started on the 4th of Jan in Sweden.
I'm either not understanding your problem, or you aren't understanding that week numbers are calculated in different ways in different parts of the world. Even first day of week isn't the same day for all parts of the world.

IPod and Outlook Calendar

I have an iPod video with a 30G drive, and the latest version of iTunes.
I have followed the directions and cannot get my iPod to import my Outlook Calendar. It gives no errors, there just isn't anything there. Their work-around, manually exporting each appointment and saving them as files on the iPod, is just plain silly. Who has that kind of time?
Has anyone else had similar problems and a resolution?

Their work-around, manually exporting each appointment and saving them as files on the iPod, is just plain silly.
It's silly because?
If you do not have Outlook 2003 and this method is silly, then you don't get the appt on your iPod.
Who has that kind of time?
Someone who does not have Outlook 2003 and needs the info on their iPod.
If their time is that important, they would upgrade to Outlook 2003.

Iphone 5 won't sync outlook calendar

Bare with me as this is my first iphone. I can't get my outlook calendar to sync with my iphone wirelessly. I am getting my e-mails just fine, but my calendar is not updating on my phone. My wife has told me that she has several colleagues who are having the same problem and some believe it is due to the new ios6.

-I have no problem getting my e-mails
-in settings
my calendar is set to sync all events
the time zone is set correctly
the default calendar is set to "from My PC ( before I had it set to i cloud and it still didn't work )
I have fetch new data set to every 15 minutes and push is set to on
Is this a common problem in ios6 that has to be worked out? If not could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Google Calendar Sync http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=98563 is the solution to all of these issues, at least if you use Windows.
Google Calendar Sync is a lightweight program you install that automatically syncs whatever is on your Outlook calendar to your Google Calendar http://calendar.google.com/ account (you'll need to create a Google Calendar account, if you don't already have one). You can sync one-way, to send only stuff on your Outlook calendar to Google or vice-versa. Sync two-way if you want calendar entries made in either place to flow back-and-forth.
Once Outlook is talking to Google Calendar, life is beautiful for the IPhone user.(and this works for the iPad, as well). Go to "Settings," then "Mail, Contacts, Calendar," then choose "Add Account." You'll see Gmail as one of the options listed.
Select Gmail, providing your Google information as required. After the account is set up, you'll see it listed within "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." Select it, then be sure you've toggled the "Calendars" link to "On." Once that's done, voila! Now you've channeled your Outlook calendar through the cloud to Google and back down to your iPhone.

Desktop Sync Software Error: "The Operation terminated unexpectedly" During Outlook Calendar Sync

My system is a standalone Dell PC running WinXP Pro SP3, Outlook 2003 SP3, and BB Desktop Software 6.1.0.36 (latest update). Device is a Bold 9900. Problem is with Blackberry Desktop synchronization of my Outlook Calendar; all other Organizer functions sync fine to Outlook 2003 if the Calendar is left un-sync'ed. When Calendar sync is checked to Outlook, either alone or with the rest of the Organizer functions, sync seems to progress to a point and "sees" device (Bold 9900) and Outlook Calendars, sees all the calendar events (2518 at present in the Bold, 2444 in Outlook) and sees additions/deletions and changes. It even gets as far as requesting verification of the changes required to sync. When process to update proceeds, the device calendar is polled once more, then the error message "The Operation terminated unexpectedly" appears, process stops, and Desktop Software becomes "hung". Sometimes Outlook also hangs. This occurs in both a "two-way sync" and a "one-way sync" (device over-writes Outlook).
Solutions on BB Support pages have been tried (deleted and replaced mapi32.dll file etc.) but most solutions offered appear to relate to later Outlook versions (2007 & 2010) and don't relate to Outlook 2003. I have also deleted the IntelliSync folder in the Research in Motion folder and re-initiated sync configuration to no avail. I especially like BB's coment on their Support page KB15735 (although it doesn;t mention Outlook 2003, nor Desktop Software 6.0):
This is a previously reported issue that has been escalated internally to our development team. No resolution time frame is currently available.
I previously used IntelliSync for a Palm 515 (and older Palm PDA's) on this PC with no problems. Older versions of IntelliSync and Palm software were all removed before BB Desktop Software installation. Also had tried un-installing Blackberry Desktop program and re-installing latest version.
The same Bold 9900 works fine syncing with my Win7 Pro 64 bit laptop running Outlook 2007 for all sync functions. Am I destined to upgrade my old desktop to Outlook 2007 or is there another fix?
TIA,
Keith

In my desparation to keeping trying different avenues, I tried uninstalling the DM again but reinstalled version 4.3.0.15 (Aug 15 '07) instead of the more recent versions (had previously tried both 4.5 and 4.6 with the same errors messages received).
My first attempt to synch my Outlook Calendar with v.4.3 didn't work either but for some reason, it does work now. Go figure? I'm just going to cross my fingers & hope this older version will continue to work.

Outlook Calendar: Multiple day events with different details on different days

Hello!
I produce trade shows and I am trying to use outlook calendar and sharepoint as a place for my company to access a calendar for all the events we produce. However, I want to be able to distinguish what is happening that particular day (move-in, the
days we build the show; open, the days the show is open; move-out, the days we dismantle the event)
For example:
Widget Expo
Move-in: 1/5 - 1/6
Open: 1/7 - 1/9
Move-out: 1/10
I know that I can easily create three different events for the above, which, in theory is fine... but we produce many shows so I want the event line to be continuous in outlook as it would be if I simply entered "Widget Expo start date 1/5 end date
1/10".
Additionally, this fails because we have many events overlapping the dates and the data becomes visually disjointed and hard to read.
I am not particularly concerned with start or stop times vs. all day events. My priority is to see about entering an event like the one above with a subset of info on each day.
For example
Widget Expo: 1/5 - 1/10
1/5: move-in
1/6: move-in
1/7: open
1/8: open
1/9: open
I've attached a sample.
The top section (Events 1, 2 and 3) is how Outlook will function as I know it today, you can see how it is challenging... (alternately I could do one day at a time but that gets even more cumbersome).
The bottom section (Events A, B and C) is how I would like Outlook to function and how, I really, really, hope that someone will be able to instruct me on.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Larry G

I just didn't get the context here. Do you want to display multiple rows within one Outlook calendar event? If yes, I think it's impossible.
Please reattach the sample which will be very helpful for others to understand your requirement, then possibly provide a solution.

DM 4.6 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

Using Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2003, BB Pearl 8130. Used DM 4.3 for nearly a year without issue. Just upgraded to DM 4.6. During sync, DM will read addresses, tasks, and memos, and appears to read the calendar from the device, but when it gets to reading the Outlook Calendar, I get "program has encountered an error and must shut down". I uninstalled 4.6, tried 4.5, then back to 4.3 but exact same issue with each version now. I can change the settings in sync to skip sync of calendar and all is well. But as soon as I check calendar in settings, same issue. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. I even wiped the device (typical answer from Verizon). USB cable is on back of laptop, not hub. Any advice?

Forgot to mention, DM 4.6 seems to run much slower than DM 4.3 used to.
yes, there is a speed gap between 4.3 (fast) and 4.5/4.6 (slow).
