Edit or Delete one or more instances of a recurring event

Posted by Richard Kuhlenschmidt Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:49:00 GMT

We’ve heard you loud and clear. You want to edit or delete one or more instances of a recurring event. Consider it done!

Famundo now allows exceptions in recurring events.

For example, you may have a meeting every Monday, but often there is a Monday holiday. Now you can delete those meeting events that occur on those holidays.

Or you have a meeting that occurs on the same day every week, but you want to enter different notes for each event – who is responsible for the snack? Now, you can do it!

Schedule a recurring event. Click on an instance of the recurring event and you will be given options to Edit or Delete. Once selected, you will be given an option to edit or delete All Instances or This instance. For a change to only that event, choose This Instance. Make your edit or deletion and click on Save. That’s all there is to it!

Thanks to all our users who send us suggestions on how we can make Famundo a better, more useful product. We really do listen.

Searching by Tags

Posted by Richard Kuhlenschmidt Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:47:00 GMT

Many of you have asked what the purpose of the Tag field is. This field is found in various data entry screens in Famundo such as events, lists, files, and photos. In fact, tagging is used in almost every area of Famundo. Think of a Tag as a “keyword” that will allow you to search for things with “like” tags in the future.

Famundo now supports searching of tagged events, so you can quickly view all events that contain a specific tag.

Let’s say, for example, that your child is required to complete a certain number of community service hours for their school. If, when you schedule the community service events, you add a tag “community” in the tag field, it will be very easy to locate all community service events in the future and add up the hours served.

Tags will “auto-complete”, so once you add a new tag it will appear the next time you start typing in the word in the tag field.

Tag searching will locate all events with a specific tag from 3 months in the past to 3 months in the future.

The tags are presented in what is called a “tag cloud,” which can be viewed by clicking on Tags on the top Calendar menu. The tags with the most items are represented with larger text in the beginning of the list and those with fewer items are represented with smaller text at the end of the list.

By the way, your family member’s names are also treated as tags, so if you want to find all events for a member of your family, just click on their name in the tag cloud.

In future releases of Famundo, you will be able to search on all items, events, files, lists, photos and more, with a common tag.

New Calendar Security

Posted by Richard Kuhlenschmidt Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:45:00 GMT

We have changed the way the View access on our calendars work.

Now, no event can have more open View access than that of the parent calendar.

For example, if you have a calendar that has View access equal to Parents, no event on that calendar can have View access more open than Parents. This means an event cannot have View access of Parents and Adult Kids, Family, Family and Friends Only, or Public (Everyone). An event on this calendar can however have View access of Private.

We hope this change makes the managing of calendars a more intuitive experience.
