I'm exploring visual methods to link events hierarchically in a calendar. I have one parent event with multiple child events. Here are some ideas I've considered:
-
Is it possible to apply event arrangement modes selectively? This would allow me to show the parent event prominently (in Full mode), while displaying other unconnected events side by side.
-
Can events be nested within others? Or can events be used as backgrounds?
-
Is it feasible to draw lines or arrows to connect multiple events in the calendar?
-
Utilizing the duration bar: displaying the parent event's duration and using different colors to represent actual times for children, resulting in multiple start-end times within the parent event bar.
-
Use the resources view mode. the problem is that there can be a several parent events in a single day, and the calendar would become unreadable.
I welcome any other ideas or suggestions. Thank you!"
