Phone Call Coordinator
The Phone Call Coordinator makes it easy to plan phone calls or other events that span
multiple time zones. Each place that you call frequently may be set up with up to four good
calling time intervals (calling time "windows") that appear in light blue. In planning a call,
just look up at the top line (local location) to find suitable local times to make the call.
The Phone Call Coordinator screen is the third selection in the HourWorldΓäó Display
menu in the menubar at the top of the screen. There are two options for the Phone Call Coordinator
display, selectable from the Edit Preferences item on the Edit menu. The default
option displays "windows" of good calling times at each location. The other option displays
the pattern of day, twilight, and night at each location.
Finding good times to call from the home location (the default option):
 
The default calling windows built into HourWorldΓäó assume that the recipient of your calls is
available from 8am until Noon, takes lunch from Noon until 1pm, and is available again for
calls from 1pm until 5pm. You may change the default settings to reflect the actual best
calling times. The red vertical line indicates the current time, and moves to the right as time
passes. The blue vertical line is user-settable to make planning easier. To move the blue line
to a new location, just click once where you would like it to appear.
To create or edit up to four calling time "windows" for each location,
1) Choose "Change Location Settings" from the Edit menu.
2) Click the Edit... Button
3) Select the location to edit.
A dialog will appear, including controls for setting up to four calling time "windows".
 
4) Use the scrolling menus to define the start and stop times of each calling window. To
eliminate a calling time window, set its start and stop times to 00:00.
Multiple Contacts in the Same City:
If you have multiple contacts in the same city with different calling windows because they
have different working hours, or are available for contact at home in the evening, you may
wish to add a separate location to the database for each contact. Instead of naming the
location by city, you could name it for the contact, such as "Robert" or "Tom". To add a
new location to the database, select "Change Location Settings" from the Edit menu, and click
the "Add..." button.
