Configuring the Events Calendar
There are two required tasks and one optional task for configuring the events calendar:
- Enabling high-interactivity browser functionality. Modify the Siebel configuration file to enable high-interactivity browser functionality in the events calendar.
- Configuring the calendar display with Siebel Tools. Use Siebel Tools to control the way the events calendar displays.
- (Optional.) Configuring the calendar display with JavaScript. Use the applet_event_hi_calendar_applet.js file to control the way the events calendar displays.
Enabling High-Interactivity Browser Functionality
The following procedure describes how to modify the Siebel configuration file to enable high-interactivity browser functionality.
To modify the Siebel configuration file to enable high interactivity
- Navigate to the configuration file, and open the file.
- Set HighInteractivity = TRUE. If HighInteractivity = FALSE, the browser cannot display the events calendar.
Configuring the Calendar Display with Siebel Tools
In order to display the events calendar, Event High Interactivity (HI) Calendar Applet settings must be modified using Siebel Tools.
As described in the following procedure, Event HI Calendar Applet settings are configured through the client side of the application.
To configure the calendar display with Siebel Tools
- In Siebel Tools, locate Event HI Calendar Applet. The underlying business component for Event HI Calendar Applet is eEvents Event.
- Customize behavior in the calendar's interface and display properties through the Applet User Prop, which defines the user properties that define the input settings for the calendar. The following table describes some values you can use for customization purposes. The table also lists internal user properties, which should not be modified during configuration. For more information, see Siebel Tools Reference.
Configuring the Calendar Display with JavaScript
In addition to using Siebel Tools to configure the calendar display, you can configure the calendar display directly by modifying JavaScript code in the script file
applet_event_hi_calendar_applet.js
. This is an optional approach to configuring the events calendar.NOTE: Client settings can override the JavaScript in the applet_event_hi_calendar_applet.js file.
The main function in the script is:
Event_HI_Calendar_Applet_Applet_PreInvokeMethod (name, inputPropset)
This function accesses the HTML that is used to format the events calendar display. Thus, by modifying this function, you can modify formatting of the events calendar. Moreover, this function's
name
parameter takes a value that determines whether the weekly and monthly calendar format is invoked or whether the daily calendar format is invoked, as described in Table 5. Depending on which lines of code are invoked, different HTML is accessed. As a result, you can modify the HTML to reformat the weekly and monthly calendar display without affecting the daily display, and vice versa.Other useful JavaScript code for configuring the events calendar is described in Table 6.
