AN ELECTRONIC CALENDARING METHOD FOR USE IN A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

An electronic calendaring method for use in a data processing system that comprises a plurality of interactive type work stations connected directly or indirectly to a host processing unit. A method assists a calendar owner to request the system to develop and display a composite calendar comprising entries from a plurality of calendars within a specified time span which have been selected by criteria entered interactively into the system by the calendar owner. The criteria entered are not limited to "free periods" nor system established terminology but can include terms established by the calendar owner community.
