Per the request of many people on this forum, when tasks are assigned
to you they now also appear on your calendar. Hopefully this will
make it easier for you to see everything you need to accomplish.

More details here: http://www.gqueues.com/help/assignments#calendar

If you refresh your calendar you should see your existing assignments
displayed now. If this is not the case, you can deactivate calendar
integration and reactivate it to ensure everything is displayed and
syncing correctly.

Very nice!! Thank you so much! Now is there any change of seeing
these same assignments in the Smart Queues? :-)

Great action... and so simple!
But it is a workaround, I hope gQueues will solve it in the near
future.

Thanks for thinking out of the box.

Cameron,

I have tried it, but it did not work
I as assigned the task to myself, it did not show in my own calendar,
but as a assigned (=>) task in my gQueues calendar.
Then I deactivated gQueues calendar integration and reactivated it.
Only the tasks marked 'done' where showing up and I'm not able to
remove the assignment from the gQueue tasks.

So now I have to remove all tasks and create them again
I saw an other option though. If you click on a gQueues task in the
calendar, you can copy it to your own calendar... that is maybe an
other workaround.
But I still end up with two tasks, that's a waist I think.

Patrick,

I think I might have been a little ambiguous in my first post for this thread.  At no time will any GQueues task appear as an event in your PERSONAL Google Calendar.  All GQueues tasks always appear in the GQueues calendar in Google Calendar.  

Before the feature mentioned in this thread was launched, if you assigned a task to another person, it did not show up in their GQueues calendar in Google Calendar.  It only showed up in your own GQueues calendar in Google Calendar.  But after this functionality was added the task shows up both in your GQueues calendar and the GQueues calendar of the person you assigned it to.

Is that more clear?

Hello Cameron,

Yes it is clear to me.
Do you know if it is impossible (by the way the API works) that
GQueues tasks are stored in my personal calendar, or is it just the
way this service is created?
It would be nice to have an option on every task to select in with
calendar the tasks should be posted.

Normal Google tasks are not synced with my windows mobile phone, so I
had to put all my tasks in my calendar.
But it was impossible to keep a good overview of the tasks. Then I saw
GQueues... that looked as it will give me all I needed to work with
tasks, but then it stores its tasks in its own calendar. Google does
not sync other calendars to windows mobile... so I am still looking
for the right product to help me out with all my tasks.

Patrick,

Yes, the Google Calendar API allows for events to be created on a user's personal calendar.  However, GQueues puts all tasks on a separate calendar for synchronization efficiency.  If GQueues tasks and regular calendar events were all on the same calendar, then two-way syncing between the calendar and GQueues would be prohibitively slow because all the calendar events would need to be manually filtered out on the GQueues side.  

Maybe Windows Mobile will allow you view secondary Google calendars via CalDAV?

Good solution to see assignments on the assigned-to calendar.

Assignments would be better if I had the option to disable assignments
to show on the assigned-from calendar.

To me seeing tasks on both calendars are not assignments, but
collaboration.

These are the different definitions according to me ;-)
collaboration = see tasks on both calendars
assignments = see tasks on the assigned-to calendar
plus the simple view-share, which is valuable for monitoring.

Any chance you keep on developing in this area, Cameron?
