Description

Calendar Feature: When Add-ing an event a user is presented with options to pickup the Start date and End date, there is a calendar icon which is good. When picking up the hour and minute a user is presented with arrow down list. This is good if only a few events to be Add-ed. However, when a user enters a lot or its users task to enter say appointments for many events. It would be easier to be presented with a data entry screen like a spreadsheet: where columns and rows are arranged in such a way that there are arrows to move days or months or years say located at the top row, while the next rows are breakdown of days hours and minutes divided according to a setting of say every 5 minutes or 10 or 15 minutes. The benefit of these is where a user's daily job is only to enter so many events everyday, user simply look at the top row for say a date of a month and look on the left hand side where there are rows of hours divided in to say 5-minutes event/appointment, then looking at the right coordinates of date-hour-minute for the event, the user simply click/2xClick to open the coordinate then type/enter a description of an event. Its done! For example event is 30th of June 2013 at 7:30 a.m. User looks at the top row, either click arrows to get the future date, then look on the left hand side for the row-column of 7 a.m. and click 30 and enter the event description, does the same for another event.

I don't know if this is a feature to be added but i think this is great, makes data entry quick on high volume addition of events. Sorry i am not a programmer.
