Calendar

The Calendar module draws M-Files objects as events on a day, week, month or agenda view. Anything with a start and an end can be shown: time entries, tasks, absences, room bookings.

Each event type maps one object type onto the calendar and says which properties supply the start, the end, the title and the colour. A calendar can hold several event types, which is how you show time registrations and public holidays on the same view without them being the same kind of object.

Before you configure it

Section titled “Before you configure it”

You need at least one object type with two timestamp properties. If the objects should be editable by dragging, those properties must also be writable by the people using the calendar — the calendar writes back through normal M-Files permissions, so it cannot let someone change something they could not change on the metadata card.
