Manage a calendar view manage-a-calendar-view
Consider the following:
-
You can create a Calendar view only when you have at least two date fields associated with a record type. When you have one or no date fields associated with a record type, the Calendar view option is dimmed.
You can select from record date fields, or lookup date fields from connected record or object types.
-
The following scenarios exist:
- When both the Start and End dates have no values, the records do not display on the calendar
- When the Start or the End dates have no value, the record displays as a one-day event
- When the Start date is after the End date, the record does not display on the calendar.
To manage a calendar view:
-
Go to the record type page for which you want to view the calendar.
-
Create a calendar view, as described in the article Manage record views.
The records associated with the record type you selected display as bars in a calendar. The color of the bars matches the color of the record icon.
-
Do one of the following to navigate through the calendar:
-
Click the left and right icons or use the horizontal scroll to move backwards and forwards in the calendar.
-
Click Today to center the calendar to today’s date.
-
Select one of the following options from the time frame drown-down menu to update the time increments:
- Month
-
-
Update the following view elements as described in the subsections below:
Add filters
You can reduce the amount of information displayed on the screen by using filters.
Consider the following when working with filters in the calendar view:
-
The filters you create for a calendar view work independently from the filters in any other view applied to the same record type.
-
The filters are unique to the view that you select. Two calendar views of the same record type can have different filters applied to them.
-
Two users looking at the same calendar view see the same filter that is currently applied.
-
You cannot name the filters you build for a calendar view.
-
Removing filters removes them from anyone accessing the same record type as you and who displays the same view as you do.
-
Adding filters in the calendar view is identical to adding filters in the table view.
For more information, see the “Add filters” section in the article Manage the table view.
-
You can filter by connected record fields or lookup fields.
-
You can filter by lookup fields that display multiple values.
Edit the calendar view settings
Editing the calendar view settings is identical to editing the settings of a timeline view.
For more information, see the “Edit the timeline view settings” section in the article Manage the timeline view.
