Consolidated display of time-based events associated with multiple systems

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having instructions which when executed by a computer causes the computer to:
• receive a selection of multiple electronic calendars, wherein the multiple electronic calendars belong to multiple resources;
• access calendar data related to the selected calendars, wherein the calendar data includes one or more events associated with one or more instances of time;
• consolidate the calendar data based on a temporal order of occurrence of events;
• generate a graphical representation of the consolidated calendar data, wherein the graphical representation includes a calendar grid showing a listing of the multiple resources along a first axis, a first time frame along a second axis, and calendar events correlated to a resource on the first axis and an instance of time on the second axis;
• receive a selection of a second time frame through a user-selectable time grid;
• modify the calendar grid by replacing the first time frame along the second axis with the selected second time frame while keeping the orientation of the listing of multiple resources along the first axis constant;
• and
• resize the calendar grid according to the second time frame.

A computer-implemented method of displaying multiple electronic calendars, the method comprising:

• receiving a selection of multiple electronic calendars, wherein the multiple electronic calendars belong to multiple resources;
• accessing calendar data related to the selected calendars, wherein the calendar data includes one or more events associated with one or more instances of time;
• consolidating the calendar data based on a temporal order of occurrence of events;
• generating a graphical representation of the consolidated calendar data, wherein the graphical representation includes a calendar grid showing a listing of the multiple resources along a first axis, a first time frame along a second axis, undo first set of fields holding calendar events corresponding to a resource on the first axis and an instance of time on the second axis;
• receiving a selection of a second time frame through a user-selectable time grid;
• replacing the first time frame along the second axis with the selected second time frame while keeping the orientation of the listing of multiple resources along the first axis constant;
• calculating an amount of space required in the calendar grid for displaying a second set of fields representing time positions of the second time frame;
• adapting the spatial co-ordinates associated with the first set of fields according to the calculated amount of space;
• and
• rendering the calendar grid showing calendar events occurring within the second time frame.

A system operating in a communication network, comprising

• one or more data source systems;
• and
• a computer comprising a memory to store a program code, and a processor to execute the program code to:
• receive a selection of multiple electronic calendars, wherein the multiple electronic calendars belong to multiple resources;
• access calendar data related to the selected calendars from the one or more data source systems, wherein the calendar data includes one or more events associated with one or more instances of time;
• consolidate the calendar data based on a temporal order of occurrence of events;
• generate a graphical representation of the consolidated calendar data, wherein the graphical representation includes a calendar grid showing a listing of the multiple resources along a first axis, a first time frame along a second axis, and calendar events correlated to a resource on the first axis and an instance of time on the second axis;
• receive a selection of a second time frame through a user-selectable time grid;
• modify the calendar grid by replacing the first time frame along the second axis with the selected second time frame while maintaining the orientation of the listing of multiple resources along the first axis constant;
• and
• resize the calendar grid according to the second time frame.
