We have recently begun using TEC, and mostly like what it does (though the custom URL feature is not working for us – very klugey). In any case, we are committed.<\/p>\n
However, the person in our organization who enters most of the events has been used to using iCal (which sync’s with Google Calendar). But using Google Calendar to sync doesn’t work for us, because when you sync, it makes all recurring events SINGLE events when it imports. This makes it then very difficult for us to then go back in and customize each event with an image, etc.<\/p>\n
We are now committed to using this solution. The problem is that the user interface seems so awkward and clunky and…SLOW! I don’t know if there is some other more efficient way to add\/edit events, but she is about to go bonkers.<\/p>\n
One example is the fact that when you go to the “edit events” screen, it defaults to the first or last event in the system – the old events management system we were using defaulted to the current day. This is a considerable amount of effort to then navigate to the events that are current, trying to figure out which page contains this week’s events.<\/p>\n
The other problem is just the fact that you can’t really get a very useful view of all events so you can know what’s happening when (e.g. so we don’t double-book a space), and then to edit a given event entails several clicks, and the spinning wheel of death…and then multiple open windows, etc.<\/p>\n
SO – if anyone might address the specific concerns above – and perhaps give any tips for the most efficient way\/user interface to use when entering new events or editing events – that would be most helpful. Am I missing something?<\/p>\n
And if I were to request features:<\/p>\n
* Easy user interface for entering\/editing events (a separate dashboard that works like Google Calendar???)!!!<\/p>\n
* At least the ability for “Edit events” screen to default to a list of events that begin with the current day….<\/p>\n
Thanks for listening – and look forward to any advice.<\/p>\n
