Definition

Interval in minutes

Use

In this field, you define the intervals in minutes into which an individual day is to be divided.

If you specify large intervals, the display of the day does not take much space. Large intervals are suitable for calendars with few appointments or a wide overview.

You require short intervals if many appointments are entered and are to be clearly laid out. This requires more space, however.

Procedure

Examples

If you enter "60", the day is displayed in intervals of one hour. If the calendar is to be displayed or output as of 9 a.m. the intervals start and end on the hour.

If you enter "45", the day is split into intervals of 45 minutes, for example, 8:45, 9:30, 10:15, and so on.

Dependencies

Appointments that do not correspond exactly to an interval are highlighted in the relevant intervals and the exact time is displayed.
