• Choosing when you work... in your Calendar.

  In Maximizer, you can customize your calendar to fit your work schedule. If you are one of the lucky ones to only have to work a few times during the week, or a few hours during the day, this can make your calendar a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.  Two of the most useful functions are the working day and working hour options in the preferences menu. Working day Select which days you work. Any day left unselected will be red in the weekly and monthly views, so you can quickly identify which days you are in and which days you are not. You can also choose to not show non-work days in the weekly view by selecting the "Show non-work days in the weekly view" option in the Options area. That way, you can look at a weekly view of your work related activities while not being distracted with your weekly golfing sessions on your midweek day off. Working hours Set your working hours here. The range specified in the from and to drop down lists will be a different colour than the hours that are outside the range. Also, any appointments created outside of the range will appear at the top or bottom of the daily view saying you have x number of appointments before/after your start/end time.   Posted Sep 25 2009, 11:26 AM by wleung with no comments

• Great Save! Recalling and Saving Searches

  Sometimes, it takes a stroke of genius to create the perfect all fields search. After many hours of carefully planning which fields to include and which values to select, you run the search and get the perfect result set. And sometimes it’s just a big fluke. You are shooting from the hip and just happen to stumble upon the right combination of fields and values to get the results you are looking for. You probably want to save that search, so you don’t have to go shooting in the dark again the next time you want to run the same search. So after you are satisfied with your all fields search, go back to Search > All Fields. Then, select Last Search. This will bring up the last search that you made. Then, click Catalog, then Add.  Fill in the Name of the search and a description. You may also want to include, or not, in the description, the fact that no planning was involved and you pretty much just guessed your way to the end result.  Click OK to save the search. You just made a great save!   Posted Sep 02 2009, 12:03 PM by wleung with 2 comment(s)
