[chandler-users] dashboard calendar

[Rick Rawson]

Grant,

To see the Dashboard calendar, I simply selected the Calendar toolbar 
button and, voila, a calendar showed up where I had previously only seen 
a triage table. I didn't know there was a "Select View..." option on the 
Tools menu...so I played around with it. Interesting...

So, reading between the lines of your email, there has been a Dashboard 
calendar since 0.7.2 but I did not see it until today (one day after 
installing 0.7.6) because "Tools >> Select View...Triage View" was 
always selected. When I installed 0.7.6 yesterday, I did not 
intentionally select "Calendar View" on the Tools menu, so it must have 
been selected by default. Then, when I chose the Calendar toolbar 
button, I saw a calendar rather than a table for the first time. But 
without display of recurring events. :)
