Calendar

Released with ICE version 5.1, a new calendar control option provides a way to use a typical calendar display to show specified dates.

  1. Add a new sitemap node and select the "~/ICE/Events/EventCalendar.aspx?calname=" option. You can have multiple calendars showing different data so you should add a unique value after the "=" sign to identify each calendar in use.

  2. Once properties are saved, click the Parameters tab. A view is required to supply the calendar with the data you would like to display. The view should return the following fields:
    3. Field Data type Description
    Event ID CHAR ID to identify unique event (workflowtran_key could be used).
    Chapter ID CHAR ID to be passed in for ContactID parameter.
    Title CHAR Title to be shown for event.
    Description CHAR Description to be shown for event.
    Begin Date DATE or DATETIME Start date of event
    End Date DATE or DATETIME End date of event

    The following is an example view:

    Copy 
    CREATE VIEW [dbo].[vcsi_GetChapterCalendarEvents]
    AS
        SELECT    
            d.WORKFLOWTRAN_KEY as EventId,
            d.ID as ContactId,
            d.Title as Title,
            d.Description as Description,
            d.CD_Start as BeginDate,
            d.CD_End as EndDate 
        FROM    Demo_Chapter_Dates d
    GO
  3. Enter the name of the view on the Parameters tab. 
  4. Enter the field names provided by the view to define each field:

  5. Once data is submitted, events will appear on Calendar.
