Leatim Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 The one thing I would like to see in Publisher is the Calendar Wizard as was in the previous page plus applications. I design and sell calendars and use this application to accomplish this to a certain extent to set the calendar months up. Its the one feature that would make me buy Publisher. I use it for other design but calendars are the main reason Joschi, JerryDechant, Steps and 8 others 11 Quote
Staff Patrick Connor Posted September 3, 2018 Staff Posted September 3, 2018 @Leatim Welcome to the Serif Affinity forum Affinity programs do not have "wizards" and the like as were in the Plus range, but the ability to create a calendar type table would probably be appreciated by many.

Grandadjim Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Yes, The calendar facilities in PagePlus were (are) very useful and similar facilities in Publisher would be very helpful. Quote
Frances Proctor Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I just had a quick play with creating tables and calendars and I discovered that a table can be saved as an asset. So a calendar page could be set up and saved as an asset and easily dropped on a page. Ariana M, mswift and Copper Star Media 3 Quote Follow me on Creative Fabrica
AnaliseThis Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I too would like to see a calendar type wizard in Publisher. I use the PPx9 calendar for listing Public Holidays and the like at work so others know when they get time off (for free). Do your best guys, I know you will. Ariana M 1 Quote

dmaxm Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I've been using the Calendar option in PP for a monthly newsletter and would appreciate having that option in Publisher. Thanks! Quote
skersh Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I agree. I would also like to see a calendar option as in PP. It would be nice to have option to store events such as birthdays, etc. that would be added to calendar each year. Quote
Peg11 Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I would like to see have this option, too. I use it quite often! Quote
pastorgary Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'll add my request for a calendar creator within Publisher as well! JerryDechant and Ariana M 2 Quote
Ariana M Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I'm lurking on all the threads where calendars are mentioned right now... adding my vote to a request for calendar functionality and tutorial/video in Publisher!!! Quote
James Malli Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 As a calendar publisher, we design many calendars using Serif Plus 9 mostly until we found a wizard to use with Indesign 6. If Adobe can do it, so can Infinity. It’s a question of wanting too. It will assist many of your core supporters. Go For It! Were with you. Quote

Not only a question of wanting. Serif needs time (for other important stuff). Much time. A very conditional workaround could be this or that. HTH Patrick Connor 1 Quote

Joschi Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I'm also voting for a calendar feature for APub (or AD, because AD can handle 12+1 pages for sure) :D At work we are also using the calendar wizard script (InDesign) at least 2-3 times a year. Would be awesome if Affinty Publisher would get a tool to set up calendars easily. Quote
JerryDechant Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 A Calendar Template, amongst other templates for commonly created media would be appreciated. As it is, I don't find Affinity Publisher to be very useful or a time saving tool. Not having templates and/or wizards is a step backwards in technology, and until you incorporate useful ones, I'm not likely to recommend your software to anyone. I will recommend Serif's old Software though, because I've found all their applications easy to use, well thought out, and a complete set of tools to save time and create excellent publications and documents.

000 Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I made the attached calendar in 15 minutes with the tables tool ... son't see what you need templates for ... Copper Star Media, Artpix and borkia 3 Quote
Copper Star Media Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 @Jens Krebsthat's pretty neat! Did you have to manually enter all the numbers? Because I do long term planners and while I realize I would only have to do each of these one time, I still would love a wizard that would make sure I didn't have any wrong dates. borkia 1 Quote
000 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 @Copper Star Media Yes, that's all done manually -- as everything is on one page, it's easy to see if the numbers and days connect. For a day planner or something similar, I would probably try to find a smart way of misusing page and chapter numbers, make twelve files for the month and put the file name inthe document ... or have an intern do it and fire him the second I spot the first mistake (grin). But seriously: If you look at it calendars frim an amount of text point of view, it's just about getting 365 numbers right, no impossible task. Copper Star Media and Artpix 2 Quote

borkia Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 +1 to calendar wizard. It is not only about the right dates. It may also include some interesting features such as custom holidays dates sets (for example for different countries or special industry occasions), lunar phases etc. Quote
