Missing Features

[twentyfour]

1. Ability to Complete Meetings

When I attend a meeting, I'd like to be able to mark it complete. Sometimes I miss meetings - sometimes I don't. If I could mark the meeting as complete, I'd know if I went and the meeting was accomplished.

2. Journalize Actions

I don't manage my schedule around contacts. I manage it around tasks. The one missing feature in Action Names is the ability to turn on automatic logging to the Daily Journal instead of to contacts.

I don't understand why contacts are where information is logged. As a project manager, when someone wants to know if something was done, they want to know when - not with who. Also, frequently I want to be able to see what I've done for a day. When I mark a todo or meeting complete, it should be popped into the Daily Journal with a little date and time next to it to help me keep track.

3. Multiple contacts per item

I'd like the ability to add multiple contacts to an item. This may be inconsistent with Action Names' way of trying to assign issues to one person. But in my projects, tasks frequently hop from one person to another. Or, sometimes tasks increase in the number of people working on them. Or maybe there are multiple contacts to try in the event of emergency. I'd like the ability list more people. It might be a little cumbersome on the top of the display. Maybe additional contacts could go on the bottom, and the display change from the contact name in a list/agenda view to an icon with three little people to indicate multiple contacts.

4. Grey-scale icons

The two-color icon possibilities are OK, but they are limited. This is purely an aesthetic request, but I'd like the ability to do 4 scales of grey in icon design. It would make the display much prettier.

5. Clock display

There is an unresolved BUG in the date/clock display on the front agenda view. The date displays by default. I'd like to configure the default. When you try to click it to make it display the time, the menu pops open and covers it. You have to close the menu by clicking elsewhere. Viola! The time now displays. If you create a new todo or meeting, though, the date comes back and the time is hidden again. I was hoping this would be resolved in Action Names v5. I don't think it is a design problem - I truly think it is a bug that the time disappears after you make it display.

I agree with the suggestion of adding multiple contact capability to AN meetings.:)

No. 5 Clock dislay in menu is something I would like to.

Using the menu title for e.g. battery capacity or % mem left and some other things would be a good suggestion I think.

Making it configureable would be fine. Maybee like having one specific menu title (time, battery capacity, ...) or changing the title all x seconds.

Could be configured like this:

Use following menu titles:

date
X time
X battery
mem left
...

Change title every X Seconds

If only one option is checked the title won't change:bulb:.

The multiple personnel idea is great!. To extend the idea further, I work with the same teams over and over. I would like to set up teams or groups and then when setting up meetings you use the group or team name. Now I have to document it in the body of the description. It's a small idea but it would work for me when tracking the history of the meeting and projects.

don't need it to take more room on Task screen!!!!!!!

Just need it added to the history!!!!

I do not need additional information like 'battery' or 'memory left' inthe title of my agenda. This would blow up the application without good reason. Just a good implementation of the clock which works with Palm OS 4 and Palm OS 3 + Menu Hack would be nice.
