Calendar Updates to Keep Your Board On Track - BoardOnTrack

Written by Richard Thomas | Mar 13, 2019 7:00:00 AM

Our members know we are constantly refreshing our platform to better support them. In an effort to keep you organized, we’ve updated the calendar on your dashboard.

Updated Meetings List with a new Calendar View

You’ll notice that your calendar now will show BoardOnTrack events side by side with your board scheduled events. We host live, online and on-demand training events geared for educating and supporting our members to achieve a five-star status. While you can always see what upcoming events we have planned on the Events section of our site, this update makes it even easier for members to register and attend these opprtunities.

Icons Improve At-A-Glance Visibility

Among the helpful features are calendar icons as well as the meeting name are both clickable and will bring the user to the details page with all the info you need, right at your fingertips.

The cards now all have an indicator in the upper right corner to indicate what kind of meeting it is.  This will make it much easier to scan the list of cards to find the meeting you are looking for.

The cards that represent meetings / events in the future are shown in white as before, but those that are in the past are ‘greyed’ a bit.

Dates and Times Customized to Your Timezone

Another aspect that makes your life simpler: the meeting date and time is shown by default in your board’s timezone. If the event listed takes place in a different timezone, it’ll be sure to clarify for you, keeping you on top of the details before you need to think about them.

Other features:

  • improved the style of ‘Cancelled’ meetings
  • the meeting type is also indicated in text for the color blind
  • the board time zone is indicated at the end of the card list
  • any cards in locations outside of the board timezone have explicit timezones
  • the ‘view’ tool can also now filter by BoardOnTrack Event types

New Detail Page for BoardOnTrack Events

If the user clicks through on a BoardOnTrack Event from the dashboard, or from a card or calendar item in the meetings list, then they are taken to a detail page for the event.

You now have the option to view the meetings in a calendar view. Seeing your meetings monthly can help you plan ahead and stay on top of your to-do list.

Just like in the card view, when an event is selected, the sidebar will fill in with more details. No need to fret about who, what, when, or where… we have done the hard part for you.
