Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for providing users with a simplified view of events shared across multiple calendars. An event associated with multiple calendars is displayed only once in a user's view of the multiple calendars, and is displayed together with a visual indication (an “event chip”) that the event belongs to multiple calendars. The event chip displayed with a given event indicates, based on the patterns/colors/prints/etc. comprising the chip and/or the order of the patterns/colors/prints/etc. comprising the chip, which of the other calendars associated with the event is the lead calendar and which are secondary calendars, where the event chip represents the state of the event (e.g., accepted, declined, tentative, etc.) in the lead calendar.
