MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2007Overnight Appointment
My job is shift work so, that means I work either a day, evening, or night shift. When I schedule the evening and night shifts the appointment appears twice because those shifts run through midnight. Is there any way to make it appear only on the day the appointment starts? If the beginning and ending times of the shift occur over a 2 day period, no - they will appear as 2 appts. We (MVPs) have passed on the request for shift information to be more configurable, especially for medical and fire personnel (and others) who work differently recurring shifts.

Well, that certainly answers my question, but raises another. Perhaps it's trivial but, why pass on making shift information more configurable? Is it a low priority issue, a question of ethics (you referred to medical and fire personnel), or something else? > If the beginning and ending times of the shift occur over a 2 day period, no - they will appear as 2 appts.

We passed it on since it comes up more and more often in the public news groups. What did you expect the answer to be? MVPs try to reflect to Microsoft (who may not follow the news groups) requests that appear to be of a high priority. More frequent requests for a missing feature usually means that there is an audience that would like the feature to be added. So it was with color coding Calendar appointments - the public asked, MVPs pushed it (along with others) and it happened.

I'm sorry; I misunderstood what you meant by "passed on." While it's obvious that you meant you referred the issue to Microsoft, I read it as though you were saying it had been disregarded or "passed over." It was late when I responded. Anyway, am I correct in assuming that the changes would occur in a later version of Outlook and, I'd have to upgrade to take advantage? > We passed it on since it comes up more and more often in the public news groups.

There is no information as to whether this may be a feature added in a newer version (and if yes, what version) or if it may be added via a SP - which is highly unlikely. You will need to check with MSFT for their newest beta when it becomes available to see if the feature made "the list" or not. There is no way to predict what will be included or what will not - it is entirely based on the feature, how long it takes to code it, and how much of the other code it breaks.

It seems like you are misunderstanding the meaning of the phrase "passed on" - however... adding a feature like this is not a trivial matter. I'm not sure where it falls in priority to other often requested features but the "cost" to do it may be higher for this one. We may see it in the next version, we may not.

Something of this nature will most likely require major programming and is not suitable for an update or an addin.
