5.7 Placing Events on a Calendar
Use a Calendar region to display scheduled events with a month, week, day, or list view.
If your data source has only an event title and a start date, then the events show on the day they occur. If you enable the Show Time switch, they display as a one-hour event. If you also configure an end date, then the calendar shows the event duration as well.
- Configuring a Basic Calendar
After adding a calendar, configure its key settings to identifying the events it will display. After choosing a data source, set properties like the event Title, Start Date, and End Date. - Adding Create and Edit Links
Use the Property Editor to configure create and edit links that navigate to appropriate pages to enter or modify an event. - Changing Events with Drag and Drop
If you enable drag and drop support, then the user can drag the event to a new starting day or time and they can drag its top edge or bottom edge to change the duration. - Joining In Additional Info Using a View
Customize additional information in a calendar using a view. - Enhancing Event Display
To further customize calendar event display, you can use a custom formatting notation, paired with an event content formatter function.
