Calendar Settings

Use this form to specify settings for a Calendar component.

Note: When you select Calendar in the Binding Type drop-down list, the Binding Type field reverts to a setting of None, and the Binding field displays calendar.(MODE(-1)). This form allows you to modify that default setting.

This form is used only with Calendar components.

This form has these tabs:

  • Attributes
  • Activity Data

Use the Attributes tab to specify these attributes for the calendar:

Field/Option Description
Mode Select the viewing mode for the calendar: Day, Week, or Month.

The default is Month.

Categories Select the categories you want to use to distinguish activities on the calendar, using different colors.

To define a new category and color, click New. After you specify a name for the Category and a Color (in #RRGGBBAA hexadecimal format) for items that use it, click OK.

To make changes to an existing category, click Edit.

To remove a category, click Delete.

Selected Item Variables Use these fields to specify form variables that alert the user of which activities have been selected.
  • ID - From the drop-down list, select the variable that is to contain the value for the activity ID.
  • Start - From the drop-down list, select the variable that is to contain the value for the start date of the activity.
  • End - From the drop-down list, select the variable that is to contain the value for the end date of the activity.

When an activity is selected, the variables are updated. For example, a user could set the Start and End variables to send an alert when a vacation day is selected on a calendar.
