Calendar Portlets
Calendar portlets list your activities ordered by date and time, with links to drill down into individual activity records. The calendar portlet is displayed by default on the Activities tab, and can be added to dashboards on other tabs.
You can add multiple calendar portlets to each dashboard. They act independently of each other and so provide the flexibility of displaying different calendar and time frame configurations on one page.
-
– Calendar portlets are standalone items. They can be set up to display other calendars and date periods. For example, you may choose to display a Group calendar in the Monthly view to assist with meeting scheduling. -
– The center portlet is set up with a Weekly view of your personal calendar, providing a snapshot of the week ahead.
In each calendar portlet, you can select among a daily, weekly, monthly, or agenda view. You also can choose to display your own calendar or the public calendar for another entity within the organization. See Toggling Calendar Portlet Settings.
To change the types of activities listed in a calendar portlet, click the Set Up menu option for the portlet. See Choosing the Activities Shown in a Calendar Portlet.
You can print the details from a calendar portlet by clicking its Print menu option.
Additionally, you can expand the portlet to full-screen view by clicking the double arrow icon 
. The full-screen view of the portlet displays more columns and rows in the search results.
To add a Calendar portlet to a dashboard:
-
Click Personalize in the upper right corner of your dashboard or use Personalize Dashboard in the Settings portlet.
-
On the Standard Content tab of the Personalize Dashboard palette, click the Calendar icon or drag it onto the dashboard.
Toggling Calendar Portlet Settings
In each calendar portlet, you can quickly toggle the following settings:
-
Displayed Calendar: By default, the calendar portlet displays My Calendar, a calendar of your own activities. To display activities for another entity within your organization that has a public calendar, click My Calendar and select that entity from the list. Entities with private calendars are not listed. To learn how to make a calendar public, see Setting Calendar Preferences.
-
Calendar View: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Agenda.
If you want to change the default values for these settings, click Calendar Preferences in the upper right corner of the Activities tab. For details about setting calendar preferences, see Setting Calendar Preferences.
You can move the calendar forward and backward in time by clicking the > and < buttons.
