Patent ID: 8626555

Claim:
A method of creating a relationship between scheduled meeting events in an electronic calendaring application, comprising: displaying a plurality of days on the electronic calendaring application; scheduling a first meeting event on a first day on the electronic calendaring application; scheduling at least a second meeting event, related to said first meeting event, at a user designated interval from said first meeting event, said at least a second meeting event being on a second day different from said first day; graphically interconnecting, with a processor, said first meeting event to said at least a second meeting event by a relationship line; changing said at least a second meeting event upon a user change to said first meeting event, wherein said user designated time interval and said graphical interconnection by said relationship line are maintained, by said processor, between said first meeting event and said at least a second meeting event; producing a graphically interconnected tree view from the electronic calendaring application with said first meeting event as a tree base and said at least a second meeting event as at least a first branch graphically interconnected by said relationship line to said tree base, wherein said graphically interconnected tree view comprises a before zone and an after zone separated by a horizontal line in order to visually cue a user as to whether said at least a second meeting event is before or after said first meeting event; dragging and dropping said at least a second meeting event from said before zone above said horizontal line to said after zone below said horizontal line when changing said at least a second meeting event from before said first meeting event to after said first meeting event while maintaining said graphical interconnection by said relationship line; and dragging and dropping said at least a second meeting event from said after zone below said horizontal line to said before zone above said horizontal line when changing said at least a second meeting event from after said first meeting event to before said first meeting event while maintaining said graphical interconnection by said relationship line.
