Overview

The Calendar component provides three viewing options: Monthly, Weekly, and Daily. This flexibility allows users to navigate and manage their schedules according to their preferences.

By default, the Calendar highlights today’s date, making it easy for users to focus on the current day’s activities. This feature helps ensure that important dates and tasks are not overlooked.

Additionally, users can save records directly within the Calendar component. This functionality enables seamless tracking and management of events, tasks, or appointments across different time frames. By consolidating important dates and activities in one location, the Calendar helps users stay organized and efficiently manage their schedules.

Note: Click the Calendar icon to view the date, month, and year in calendar format. Use the Month drop-down menu to select between Month, Week, and Day views.

Note: You need to create workflows for the New and Refresh buttons of the Calendar component. A workflow is a container that automates specific actions based on defined criteria. If the criteria are met, the actions will be executed otherwise, no action will occur.

Reference: Workflow.

Note: You can create a new record by using New Action and for the record creation, click on the New button.

Basic Attributes:

Attributes are the options available for each component, allowing you to customize its appearance and functionality. They help you tailor the look and behavior of your components to fit your needs.

Description

Model

Models are essential for displaying content (fields) in the layout, and they are primarily used for creating or editing records.
When performing any action related to events, you need to include a model to ensure proper functionality.
Detailed guidance on creating and configuring these models can be found in the Models section, which provides the necessary support for setting up and using models appropriately.

Note: Specifically, for the Calendar component, you should create a Multi Record Model to manage and display multiple records effectively.

Onload Event:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping: Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.
