The schedule configuration allows to present the data view in a calendar format.

There are two elements to the calendar configuration: defining the date or date range data element and defining the data elements to be displayed in the calendar. As noted earlier, all visible report fields are displayed in the pop-up detail mini-page.

Drop-down selections for dates and display details use the value from the “Display Field Name” column in the Display tab of the report setup. Be sure to confirm that your selection is still correct if you change the display field name value.

In the following discussion, “date” can refer to either a date or a date & time.

The calendar can be configured to show a date or a date range representing start and end points.

Time values do not appear in the Month view of the calendar. They only appear on the Week, Day, and List presentations.

In this configuration the selected information is shown on a single date in the calendar.

In this configuration the selected information is shown across all dates in the calendar from the start date to the end date. Note that the display information appears at the beginning of each week where the date range for the item is included.

Up to three data elements from the report can be selected for display on the date marker in the calendar. Each element can have a label, or not, depending on the audience’s expected knowledge of the information. The examples below the selection area show how different combinations will be displayed.

As an example of how this flexibility might be used, if our sample report is titled “Production Order Starts by Item,” we could show the item number without a label since the report title tells the user that the item number is the key. But we might still have a label for the order number and quantity since those values might not be as obvious.
