VTiger Job Scheduler is the extension that enhances your VTiger Calendar’s capability to manifolds. It gives you day, week, and month views in a way that events and tasks do not overlap and become very easy to manage. Now, we’ve added a major function in VTiger Job Scheduler that allows to color the statuses of events wherever it matters e.g. in Picklist while creating an event and selecting a status, on Job Scheduler view of the VTiger Calendar etc. So, once the colors are configured in the extension settings, you will see statuses as different colors. Same for the Events box on the Calendars. The box’s color will depict the status of an event.

There’s a productivity centered extension Activity Reminder (Popup) for VTiger that gives reminders similar to Outlook. The reminder popup shows up automatically when the activity is due and displays current day’s activities with basic details such as subject, description, related to (contact, lead, organization, etc..) as well as Due In. We recently gave it a major upgrade and added the “Actions” button as a column to the reminder popup. Previously, those actions buttons were only accessible when you go to calendar > specific activity > and hover your mouse over it. With the Activity Reminder (popup) extension, now users can edit, mark as done, and delete any activities without the need to visit the actual activity in the Calendar. When you open the reminder popup (extension button at the top right – needs the extension to be installed), you will see this new column named “Action”. The action buttons

VTiger Calendar is great, but not perfect. As every software, there’s always room for improvement. One of the customers requested to add a special widget on the calendar view, so their managers could easily filter only the activities they need to see. If you look at the screenshot, you will see that the widget is embedded in the calendar view and allows a detailed search of events. Search fields are as follows: Organization Name (it’s an ajax/type ahead field, once you start typing – it will show possible matches) Status (activity status) Activity Type Assigned To (group/user assigned to activity) Such detailed search allows the customer to exclude the unnecessary activities/events/tasks from the calendar view and prioritize the day. This is one of the many customizations that we did – if you have an idea for implementation or need assistance with VTiger – please shoot as an email or give us
