About Calendar components

Calendar components allow users to select dates from a calendar that can be set to show a day, week, or month view. Arrows on the component allow the user to move backward or forward in time.

The Calendar component is bound to an IDO collection that is available to the form. This allows IDO objects from the collection to be rendered on the calendar as activities or events, depending on how you define them in the “Calendar Settings” dialog box.

You can set the variables and properties of the component to create an alert when a user selects an activity for a date on the calendar, for example, when a user selects a vacation day.

In the component definition, you can set up categories and colors for different types of activities. Then if the user selects or adds an activity in the calendar that matches a defined category name, the activity is displayed in the calendar with that color.
