Calendar
- Content Writers
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.
Notes:
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.
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.
You can create a new record by using New Action and for the record creation, click on the New button.
