Events Calendar UI Enhancement suggestions

• Usability

When a user clicks on the little magnifying glass to view an event, I would recommend that the first two items displayed be "Title" and "Description". The other items that currently appear first ("Calendar", "Recurrence", "Start" and "End"), although important, are usually not why the user clicked on that event.

Usually, the user is interested in finding out more about what the event is - information included primarily in the "Description".

The event's "Title" is all that can be viewed initially for a given date and it includes only a few words. If the user's interest is piqued by those few words, the first thing the user would like to see is a fuller description.

Currently, the user clicks on the event and then has to click on the magnifying glass and then has to read half-way down the page before finding out more about the event proper.

Those other items could be more usefully placed below "Description" so that they can be read if the user is interested.

I would argue that this would make the calendar more user-friendly.

I would also encourage placement of the magnifying glass to the left of the "edit" icon (when the user first clicks on an event) for similar reasons. Many more people will want to view an item than edit it, so the magnifying glass (or "view" icon) would more usefully come first.

My preferred solution would be to eliminate the magnifying glass step altogether so that when a user clicks on an event in the calendar, a read-only display is shown of the full event-item data, with "title" and "Description" at the top. That display would include an "edit" icon that would allow for editing the data.

This would eliminate a step, reducing the amount of work that the user has to do.

If that solution is not possible, then, When the magnifying glass has been clicked on a calendar event, Rearrange the display of the items associated with that event so that "Title" and "Description" appear first and are highlighted or bolded in some way. Then display the rest of the data associated with that event.

Then also, when a calendar item is first clicked, display the magnifying glass to the left of the edit icon.
