BIGContacts includes a full featured Team Calendar that makes it easy to track your meetings as well as the events for everyone on your team.
No matter what view you are in (day, week, month) you can see everything you need to do that day… Including all Meetings, Tasks and ToDos all there on the calendar.
If you choose to activate the option to display birthdays on the calendar, you will now see a separate table that will list all birthdays for that day. In the screenshot below you will see this section with a brown header and a contact that is celebrating a birthday today. We even tell you how old they are today so that you don’t have to worry about doing the “math”.😊
In the Day view, you will notice that the “Calendar” and your “Tasks and To-do’s” are organized into two separate folders. This is done to make it easier to work your list of tasks for that given day. You will also notice as many as four different icons to the left of a given meeting. You can hover over any one of these icons and they will give you information about the meeting and also allow you to edit the meeting as needed.
You will notice that we prominently highlight the current day on your calendar. The current day on the week or month view is now highlighted with a very visible yellow highlight.
At the top of the calendar view you will see your familiar “Pending Task” section. In here we give you account of the total tasks that you have for that day.
Finally, you’ll see the “Birthdays” section where the list each of your contacts that are having a birthday that they along with a count of the total number of contacts that are having a birthday. You will notice that you can click directly on the age of the contact and it will take you to their contact record, allowing you to reach out to them as needed to wish them a happy birthday.
Now you can see your month at a glance. Each time we move out a layer on the calendar and zoom out to get a broader view of our schedule, we have now adjusted the level of detail and information that we display on the calendar.
We also default the “Pending Tasks” and “Birthdays” folders to a closed position. This is where the number account really comes in handy. Since these folders are defaulted to a closed position you can see at a glance if you have any pending tasks or birthdays for that day without having to click to open a folder.
When clicking on the Calendar tab many of our users want to have a way to tell the system what calendar view they prefer to go to by default. This has now been implemented for you!
So, the next time you go to your calendar, you will find the three view options and simply click on the view that you prefer to see and our system will remember the last few that you selected and will display that view every time you login and go to this tab in your account. Small improvements like this add up to great convenience and significant time savings for our users.
You now have the option to show birthdays on each of your calendar views. By default, your account will display a birthday section on each view of the calendar and you can change/remove this from your calendar by going to the “Admin” tab and then selecting the “customize account” option. In here, you will then select the “calendar settings” option and you will see a radio buttons where you can choose to either show birthdays or hide them from view on your calendar.
