Activity Groups Two or more Orig Events chained together to include varying Groups/People to perform Tasks.
Activity Groups can manage large Projects that include many Groups/People and Domains !!! Go
A Recurring Event (Rcur) - Daily, Weekly, Monthly Serves as a Date/Time Placeholder Rcur Events can be 100% Edited (to become an Orig) and added anywhere after the referenced Orig Event
A Reminder Event (Rem) Always appears (green) as the first Event in every View on and after the Orig date.
Recurring Date/Time Placeholders are always hidden, Never becomes a Group, first Placeholder becomes Original after current deleted.

* Activity Groups
Calandex III Activity Groups are ideal for managing large covert Projects
The Basics - Managing/Organizing Information and Activities.
The Calandex Unique and Private Activities Group allows you to manage and share Projects / Tasks with others around the world.
Each Activity Group has a ShareID Number that is unique throughout the Calandex III Private Server
Each Original Activity is chained together in the Group and has it's own attached Group.

Organize your Activity Group so that the first Activity contains the Group of Captains external to your physical area. Subsequent Activities in the Group are attached to Groups (probably only one) that you Manage as their Captain. See the Activity Groups/Notes Page
The 'All in One View' of the Matrix View DataBase that can:
The Chronology Activity on Top of the View
Groups/Businesses / Subjects/People (MVDB) on the Bottom

Each Activity, Group/Business, and Subject/Person contains the following Notes:

General Notes
Tasks
Communications
Affiliates: These are always last in the list. The data is entered automatically by the Computer whenever there is a change in a Group or Person joining or quitting and Activity or Group. It is simply a tracking mechanism so you can always know Group affiliations for each Subject/Person, Group/Business, and Event/Activity.
You can select Each member of the Group, List Subjects - Members of the Group > (top right Panel changes to a selection list of Subjects in the Group), Then view any 2 side by side Notes to: Add, Compare, Edit, Copy, Move, Delete -

Creating and Managing an Activity Group

An Activity automatically becomes a member of a Group when one of it's Recurring (Rcur) Activities becomes an Original (Orig) Activity. This happens when you are at an Activity Rcur and you make a change (not in the Notes) or you use the Button: This Event is a Recurring place holder. Make it an Original in the Group ? Go
It is automatically inserted Chronologically in the Group Chain. It's Date/Time does not change.
All Events in the Group Chain can be accessed and compared on the Notes Page of any Group Member.
see 'Event/Activities Notes on the Notes Page.
When the first Rcur Event becomes an Orig it starts a Group formation, A unique Group ID number is automatically created.
The ID uses a number plus the unique Share Name of the Author. The ID is thus Unique throughout the Calandex Private Server.
Each Orig Event in the chain can have It's own Notes and attached MVDB Groups/Subjects involved in the Project.
The purpose of chaining Orig Events to form a Group is to add different sets of MVDB Groups/People
to match different skills and availability as the project continues.
Note: Prior to becoming an Orig Event, Editing Notes in a Rcur Event, changes the Notes in it's Orig Event, automatically adding the Date and Author, and the Rcur Event remains just a placeholder. When a Rcur Event becomes an Orig, the Notes are not copied, this prevents Notes from being duplicated (but viewed in Rcur) throughout the Chronology. Notes remain on the Activity that has the Group/People involved in the Activity.
You can place an Activity Group Orig Activity anywhere in the Chronology and each Activity can attach a Group/Person. Activities are easily accessed and compared.
Tip: Use the 'Event + MVDB' View (shown here) to Page through People in a Group attached to an Activity to assign (copy/move) individual Notes.
Tip: Quickly create and attach an Rcur Activity:

Press the Add Event(s) / MVDB / ‑ 'Add' button on the Edit Panel (shown below).
Select the desired date for the Rcur Event on the Reports Page Calendar.
Select 'Daily' under Select Recurring Interval. Everything is now ready to create the Rcur Event/Activity attached to the Original Event being Edited.
Press 'Set' then 'Add'.

When this Rcur Activity is made an Original, it will be automaically inserted in the Block‑Chain of the Activity Group.

Left (column) Panel in Edit Mode
Click on an Event, then the Edit Button above to get this Panel

Go to Top of the Page

To change Event Data:
Check the boxes that you want to Edit, then change the values where appropriate.
If Rcur Event(s) exist:* decide on checking to apply changes to all subsequent Rcur Events (Yes) or not (No)

If it is an Original (Orig) Event/Activity:

Delete: If Yes: Deletes the Event/Activity and all the attached Subsequent Recurring Event/Activities.
Delete: If No: Deletes the Orig Event/Activity, transfers it's Data to the first attached Recur Event/Activity and refers all subsequent Recurs (if they exist) to it. This is now an Orig Event. The ability to Extend or Copy to following years is now lost.
Change: If Yes - all except a Start Date Change: Makes the Change(s) on the Event/Activity and all the attached Subsequent Recurring Event/Activities remain referenced to the Orig. A Date change would ruin the original reason for having the Recur days, so it is not allowed.
If the Change Date(s) Box is checked, you will be notified that you cannot do this since the
'Days of the Week/Month' and the End Date may be off and undetermined respectively.
If the Date is not changed, but the 'Change Time(s)' Box is checked, the Time in all the
Recur Events will change to the selected new Time.
If neither the Date or Time is changed, The Rcur Event(s) will not change. They are just Date/Time
placeholders so when viewed, you actually view the Orig Event.
Change: If No: Deletes the Orig Event/Activity, transfers it's Data to the first attached Recur Event/Activity and refers all subsequent Recurs (if they exist) to it.


The first Rcur Event takes all the parameters, except the Notes, which are in the Orig Event being Edited,
and therefore becomes an Orig Event. The Orig Event being Edited, is changed and retains all the Notes.
You now have inserted (or started) these two Events into an Event Group chain. The chain always inserts
Events to retain a chronological order.
This seems complicated, but the computer handles all the complexities.
If it is a Recurring (Recur) Event/Activity:

Delete: If Yes: Deletes this Rcur Event/Activity as well as all subsequent attached to the referenced Orig Event/Activity.
Delete: If No: Deletes this Rcur, leaves all subsequent Rcur alone, still referenced to the attached Orig Event/Activity.
Change: If Yes - all except a Start Date Change: Makes the Change(s) to a Copy of the Orig Event/Activity and places it at this Date/Time, replacing this Recurring (rcur) Placeholder. All the attached Subsequent Recurring Event/Activities are now referenced to this new Orig. A Date change would ruin the original reason for having the Recur days, so it is not allowed. see 'Orig Change: If Yes' above.
Change: If No - Makes the Change(s) to a Copy of the Orig Event/Activity and places it at this Date/Time, replacing this Recurring (rcur) Placeholder. All the attached Subsequent Recurring Event/Activities remain attached to their Original Event/Activity (Orig). This new Orig Event/Activity starts or is inserted into an Activity Group chain.
