MANAGING EVENT ON CALENDAR WITH TIMELINE

1 . A method executed on a computing device to manage an event on a calendar with a timeline, the method comprising:

displaying a first context menu that includes a create control on the calendar, in response to a first selection action of the event displayed on the calendar;

presenting the event on the timeline, in response to an activation of the create control;

displaying a second context menu, that includes a delete control, on the timeline, in response to a second selection action of the event displayed on the timeline; and

removing the event from the timeline, in response to an activation of the delete control.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting the first context menu on a location that includes one from a set of: in proximity to, adjacent to, and superimposed on the event displayed on the calendar; and

presenting the second context menu on another location that includes one from a set of: in proximity to, adjacent to, and superimposed on the event displayed on the timeline.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a drag and drop action on the event displayed on the calendar; and

overlaying a message on the timeline to guide the drag and drop action to conclude on the timeline.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

detecting the drag and drop action that concludes on the timeline;

scrolling the timeline to a date range that includes a date of the event; and

displaying the event within the date on the timeline.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a touch and drag action on the event displayed on the calendar to move the event from an original date and an original time to a new date and a new time;

displaying the event at the new date and the new time on the calendar.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

removing the event on the timeline at the original date;

scrolling the timeline to a date range that includes the new date; and

displaying the event on the timeline at the new date.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a hover action on a section of the timeline; and

displaying a tooltip below the section that shows a date associated with the section.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a third selection action on the event displayed on the timeline; and

displaying an event peek on the timeline.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

presenting one or more attributes from a set of: an event subject, an event title, a date of the event, a time of the event, a creation timestamp, and a summary of the event in the event peek; and

providing an edit control in the event peek to allow one or more edit operations to modify the one or more attributes.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the event and other events on a date of the timeline that exceed a vertical height threshold of the timeline; and

presenting a vertical scroll control on a vertical edge of the timeline to allow for scrolling through the event and the other events.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the event and other events on a date of the timeline that exceed a vertical height of the timeline; and

increasing the vertical height of the timeline to encompass the event and the other events.

12 . A computing device to manage an event on a calendar with a timeline, the computing device comprising:

a display device;

a memory;

a processor coupled to the memory and the display device, the processor executing a calendar application in conjunction with instructions stored in the memory, wherein the calendar application is configured to:

display a first context menu that includes a create control on the calendar, on the display device, in response to a first selection action of the event displayed on the calendar, wherein the first context menu is displayed superimposed on the event;

present the event on the timeline, on the display device, in response to an activation of the create control;

display a second context menu, that includes a delete control, on the timeline, on the display device, in response to a second selection action of the event displayed on the timeline, wherein the second context menu is displayed superimposed on the event; and

remove the event from the timeline, on the display device, in response to an activation of the delete control.

13 . The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the calendar application is further configured to:

detect an insertion action to insert a first deadline on a date of the timeline; and

display the first deadline on the date, on the display device.

14 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the calendar application is further configured to:

detect another insertion action to insert a second deadline on the date; and

display the second deadline on the date, on the display device, wherein a label of the second deadline is superimposed on a label of the first deadline.

15 . The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the calendar application is further configured to:

detect a second event added to the timeline, wherein the second event overlaps one or more dates associated with the event; and

display the second event above the event on the timeline, on the display device.

16 . The computing device of claim 15 , wherein the calendar application is further configured to:

detect a third event added to the timeline, wherein the third event overlaps one or more dates associated with the event and the second event;

increase a vertical height of the timeline to encompass the event, the second event, and the third event; and

display the third event above the second event on the timeline, on the display device.

17 . The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the calendar application is further configured to:

detect a drag and drop action on the event displayed on the calendar;

minimize the timeline; and

overlay a message on the timeline to guide the drag and drop action to conclude on the minimized timeline, on the display device.

18 . A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon to manage an event on a calendar with a timeline, the instructions comprising:

displaying a first context menu that includes a create control on the calendar, in response to a first selection action of the event displayed on the calendar, wherein the first context menu is displayed superimposed on the event;

presenting the event on the timeline, in response to an activation of the create control;

displaying a second context menu, that includes a delete control, on the timeline, in response to a second selection action of the event displayed on the timeline, wherein the second context menu is displayed superimposed on the event; and

removing the event from the timeline, in response to an activation of the delete control.

19 . The computer-readable memory device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

detecting a drag and drop action on the event displayed on the calendar;

overlaying a message on the timeline to guide the drag and drop action to conclude on the timeline;

detecting the drag and drop action that concludes on the timeline;

scrolling the timeline to a date range that includes a date of the event; and

displaying the event within the date on the timeline.

20 . The computer-readable memory device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

detecting a touch and drag action on the event displayed on the calendar to move the event from an original date and an original time to a new date and a new time;

displaying the event at the new date and the new time on the calendar;

removing the event on the timeline at the original date;

scrolling the timeline to a date range that includes the new date; and

displaying the event on the timeline at the new date.
