ABSTRACT:
A method of providing a monthly calendar view in a computer system uses either textual information or vertically stacked busy bars. If the textual information is utilized, the textual information includes a start time and a brief description of the event. The textual information is interactive allowing quick and easy additions or editing. If the vertically stacked busy bars are utilized, the bars may each represent a predetermined time frame. The presence of a bar indicates an event is scheduled during that time frame. Whichever method is utilized, an enlarged full text description of the event is directly selectable by placing an icon over the event and selecting the event.
