Feature Request: Calendar - Defining the Week Day Start

[Bryce]

@wildone

If coloring is implementable feature, then the feature might feel like this

1. set color for day names(header text color)
2. set background color for each headers(header background color)
3. set background color for each columns(body background color)
4. default palette for background colors should be somewhat dim/low in contrast
5. user might choose custom color based on rgb/cmyk

Would you consider? Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed request @wildone . The decision to add (or not to add) color to the Calendar lies squarely in the hands of our Design Team. They are pretty proud of the appearance of the Calendar at this time, but I will share your suggestion and reasoning with them for them to consider

This would be a welcomed addition. The reason for me is that Autumn/Winter training is limited to indoor throughout the week and a club ride at the weekend. The club ride in terms of TSS and Hours is a ”get what you get” scenario and therefore reaching a weekly target TSS or Hrs is difficult. If the week was to start with the club ride I could tailor the indoor week rides and dial into a very specific TSS or Hrs for the week. Thanks.

Any progress on this? Sure would like my calendar to start on Sunday…like the rest of any calendar I have used in my life.

We have chosen not to develop support for a Sunday week start, I’m sorry I don’t have better news .

As I mentioned, a Monday week start is the standard for training calendars and allowing you to change the day your week starts on is developmentally more difficult than it appears on the surface.

That’s a shame. Seems like a consensus with TrainingPeaks who are also refusing to allow changing the calendar week start. I’m going to try not to schedule my workouts on Sundays here in TR so it will be in a sort of sync with my week which starts on Sunday. At least Garmin Connect allows to choose the first day of the week.

I was hoping this feature would be implemented with the past few updates but no luck so far. I work 3 13hr shifts per week, but my work week is scheduled sunday through saturday. This leaves my TR calendar with 2 workouts some weeks and 4 on others on LV plans. Because of this calculating and tracking my average weekly TSS is impossible. I understand that it doesn’t change the effect of the training but it makes tracking my progress over the year very difficult. Changing the starting day of the week to match my work calendar would be an easy fix

[dkolbone]

I also support this feature. It’s a small annoyance, but having to manually readjust the calendar is a pain – especially when my schedule changes significantly.

To add to this thread:
I would really like this feature as the country I live in (UAE), the week starts on Sunday (ie our first work day is Sunday, rather than Monday).

Are there any plans for this feature to be added?

Thanks!

@oelare

Are there any plans for this feature to be added?

We do not have plans to make the week start date customizable at this time.

I swear on the calendar I’ve been able to drag the ‘Week 1’, ‘Week 2’ etc headers to different days to appease my OCD.

Hı
Is there anyway to add feature to enable selection of start day of the week?

Thanks

@Thebigred, there is no option to set the week start to anything other than Monday.

I moved your request into the existing thread on the same topic.

[wormscoffer]

I can’t think how this would benefit me. Being able to choose a Sunday or Monday week start seems logical though as the “standard” week in most countries or business is based on that.

Liking the idea of different shaded weekends.

It would also be nice to see the week number up top too. I suppose week number would have to go should a variable week start day be definable.

Can you change your stand on this and make it planned? By not having plan to allow this, you are effectivelly barring half the world to use the app around their work week.

[mcneese.chad]

I’m ok with the request to add the option for users to pick, but I take issue with the “half of the world” claim.

The USA is in the Sunday start region per the link, and importantly, know many people in this country look at the week as a Monday start. That is regardless of the apparent classification above, or what happens to be printed on calendars used in this country (S-S typical).

I’d wager that many (most?) people look at Monday as the functional start of the week, through Friday as the real week. And I’d bet they see the weekend as a Sat + Sun period (not split as seen in most calendars). That parallels TRs implementation as well as the basic use I see through so many people in TR and elsewhere in my life.

Options are fine, but the claim above seems inaccurate and potentially misleading to me, with respect to functional impact.

[smcknighty]

I’d like this feature as well. I want to hit my tss per week but I don’t ride a structured workout at the weekend, I ride if I can when I can. Ideally I’d like to look at my numbers Sunday and plan some make up tss for mon through Friday

[bdboggan]

I live and work in Saudi Arabia and our work week starts on Sunday; weekends are Friday and Saturday due to the Muslim calendar. So this feature would be great for me.

[sdhoffy]

I would like to see the ability to change calendar start day to Sunday as well!
