Computer Prototyping

Instructions for accessing and starting up our computer prototype

Our prototype is web-based and can be found here: CalendarShare

Browser: Google Chrome 10

Resolution: 1280 x 800

Creating, editing, and deleting of events
Creating, editing, and deleting of deadlines
Creating, editing, and deleting notes
Accurate calendar navigation with correct month layout and ability to select a particular day
Event creation/editing forms that restrict user input to a valid range.
There are no canned responses – everything is generated dynamically and saved as long as you don't navigate to a different month

We have not yet implemented an account management interface. Therefore, all users will see "Hello, Guest" in the corner along with "Log Out" text that is static.
We have not yet implemented a visual representation for the backward propagation of deadlines. For example, if a user asks to be reminded about a deadline 7 days before it occurs, we would like to have a colored line on each of the 7 days before the deadline. This will be present once we have a backend.
Persistency of calendar data. All events and deadlines that are created in a single month will be present in the application. When a user navigates to a different month, events and deadlines disappear. This will be fixed with a backend. Notes are persistent until a user refreshes the webpage. When a user refreshes the page, all data is lost. This will be fixed when we create a backend to store the user's calendar data with his/her account information.

Due to the loss of a group member, we eliminated some features of our design.

1) We removed the notion of categories.

2) We removed the idea of sharing notes, events, and deadlines.

3) We removed the ability to print the calendar within the application.
