This app really misses a title field. If you add it yourself it works ok, but it should be there by default.
The title should be the first field and contain a short description of the stand-up. This is the description shown in your calendar.
Now, because the title is lacking, you see the start and end date as the description in your calendar.
Secondly, the stand-up is something that repeats probably 5 times a week. You can configure this with this app, so that's OK, but than you should update the status of a configured stand-up daily, so that the status field reflects the status of that day.
We've found it easier to have each attendee post an update in the activity stream with your working-on status. You could give those updates an hash-tag to make them easily identifiable.
Thanks for your feedback, maybe I should add a title field. Just out of curiosity though: what do you actually write in the title? Recurrence is a hard one to guess as people have different frequencies, but great that you configured it to suit your needs.
We have a bunch of standups at our office. So for each stand-up the title is descriptive, e.g. "MT stand-up" for the management team stand-up, De Slegte stand-up for the account team of one of our clients (called De Slegte), PM stand-up for the project managers stand-up and so on.
It sounds like what you need as the first field is actually a category field where you can choose which team this standup applies to? This would allow you to set the type with one click in stead of having to type -- and searching and sorting will be easier afterwards.
That's correct, but where do you set-up your teams?
If you modify your app, add a Category field, and name it Team you will be able to add your teams directly below the field name (type name of team and click Add/hit enter) and even assign each team a designated colour.
OK, but than you would have to modify the app to add a new team. That's not a big thing, but I think I prefer my set-up with just a simple title.
Ok, just though it might be easier with the category field ;-)
