You will be 45 minutes into the conference call when the 15-minute reminder pops up on the Dentist appt but then you work 40 minutes away from it and will be late. It just makes more sense to view ALL of the upcoming appointments so you can see that you have a 4:00 call and a 5:00 appt too and then you can know to stop the call at 4:30 at the latest but maybe that is just me.
And I think it only shows the next appointments on the next day that you have appointments. I originally had two items on this Friday so those were the things being shown though I don't need to be reminded for the next 6 days about this as the appointments take away from the screen real estate for the next 6 days when I'd be just as happy seeing these 1 or 2 days ahead of time. I made a dummy appt tomorrow and magically the Today screen now only shows the 1 appt that I set for tomorrow and that is it when it would be possible to view 2 appts here and see that I have nothing except tomorrow's appt and something on Friday. So I don't think it is possible with the native Calendar program and maybe I'll look for another app though it isn't a priority to me as the Calendar is not one of my primary functions (which is why I will most likely move it to the bottom position of the Today screen and just let the appointments scroll off the bottom rather than pushing off the SpeedDial buttons or Text message notifications, etc.). |
I looked in Calendar prefs, but the only option is to change the appointment reminder from 15 minutes. I agree with you, there should be an option for show today's appointments > next 1 day > next 2 days.
Take a look at some the apps from
SBSH, as they offer Today plugins that might be more offer a more robust feature set.
