Calendar Details

This feature request is a part of the Calendar Revision.

1 Initial Problem

• Calendar infos and settings are oddly located: This Detailed View of the Calendar will open in the main Column of that very tab I open it in, while crowding out the original content.
• There is no option to assign a color to a calendar unless it is a Private Calendar. 
• Private Calendars have a separate tab for displaying users with whom this calendar is shared.  The screen constains the most peculiar form-on-top-of-table combo.

Screenshot of Problem

2 Conceptual Summary

Access

• Calendar Details are viewed via tab “Calendars”
• Calendar Details are viewed  by clicking on s specific Calendar in the “Calendar Selection”

1. Appointments
2. Setting

• Replace generic headline "Calendar Details" and instead provide the actual “Calendar Type: Calendar Name” as headline.
• Remove redundant indicators “Calendar Name” and “Calendar Type in the Calendar Details section: That is given in the headline.
• "Permanent Link" of Course / Group Calendars moves to "Settings"-tab. Respective "owner"- information in case of a Private Calendar,  does so, too.
• Ical functionality is moved to the top Actions.  
• Remove the blocks “Calendar Selection” and “Marginal Grid Calendar” from Calendar Detail View. (Alex, 4. Aug 2017: Since the JF wants the new agenda view here, I kept the marginal grid calendar for navigation purposes, it also features the iCal button)

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

Alex, 4 Aug 2017: This mockup "quietly" removes the feature to share with roles. This has not been mentioned above. I kept the old form here.

7 Discussion

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Dec 05, 2016: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule it for 5.3 with the following changes / extensions:

• We do not add a iCal icon in front of the 'Actions' menu to avoid redudancy.
• We add a 'Delete calendar' option for personal calendars to the 'Actions' menu.
• We add a byline under Settings : Colour (sic!) to make clear that this is a personal setting of the user.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Jan 09, 2017: Based on the scheduled Usability Improvements Main Column List Calendar we would like to have the same 'Appointment Listing' UI element for the Calendar Details. It should replace the current table under 'Appointment Details'.
