Additional Checks for Calendars

Additional controls for calendars—with the exception of the "Recurring Event" element—can only be used if a calendar or resource element is on the current page. Many of the additional checks are already included in the calendar or resource element.

You can find all additional controls in the "Applications" module under "Elements. " You can create a new additional control by dragging and dropping the desired element from here onto the workspace.

For more information on creating elements, click here.

The element's Properties dialog box opens automatically when the element is created. You can open the Properties dialog box for an existing element by double-clicking the element on the workspace, selecting "Properties" from the context menu, or choosing "Edit / Properties" from the main menu when the element is selected on the workspace.

Next / Previous

These two button actions are used in combination with the "Calendar" and "Resource" elements. This allows you to scroll forward and backward in the calendar or resource element.

In the Properties dialog box for a "Next" or "Back" button, select the desired action type ("Next" or "Back") and the calendar or resource item that you want to control with it.

Basic Configuration of the Element

This dialog box appears only if there is more than one calendar or resource item on the current page. If the "Forward/Back" additional control is then created, you can use this dialog to specify which calendar or resource item it should control.

Display Options

You'll also find this dialog box when you edit the legend's properties.

This element allows you to switch the view of the calendar or resource element, for example, from the daily view to the weekly or monthly view.

In the Properties dialog box, you can change the title of the element and select the calendar or resource element that it should control.

Calendar Filter

This additional control creates a small calendar that can be used to control the chart of a calendar or resource element when a date is selected.

You can find all the information about the Properties dialog box here.

Date Display

This element displays the date selected in the linked calendar. The date is formatted according to the display settings currently configured in the calendar.

You can find all the information about the Properties dialog box here.

Series of Events

This element can be used to enter recurring appointments. Create the recurring event item on an input page.

A corresponding link will then appear in the browser, which opens a page for configuring the appointment series. For more information about the features of the appointment series in the browser, click here.

Settings in the Properties dialog box

Title

Enter the title of the series of appointments here. You can find information about multilingual titles here.

From / To

Select the fields here that contain the start or end of the appointment.

Series Run

This setting determines the total number of appointments to be created. This uses the interval that the user can set in the browser. The start date is repeated daily, weekly, monthly, or annually, as appropriate.

Copy all data fields

With this setting, all data fields in the current data group are copied. The value they contain for the start date is carried over to the new dates created by the date series. To do this, Intrexx uses its own data group, "Recurring Appointments," into which the new appointments are added.

Data Field Selection

If the "Copy all data fields" option is not selected, you can double-click to select data fields from a dialog box. If data fields are selected, you can use the context menu to add additional data fields or remove fields that are already selected.

Trigger processes

Processes associated with the start date are triggered for each subsequent date using this setting. Disable this setting if you do not want it to be enabled.

Plugin Selection

The "Plugin Selection" element allows users to show or hide events in the browser from calendar plugins that are integrated into the current calendar. You can find more information here.

You can find all the information about the settings in the Properties dialog box for the add-on control here.

Legend

Appointments can be categorized in calendar and resource items. The legend lists these categories along with their corresponding background and text colors once events assigned to those categories have been entered. This makes it quick and easy to see the category of an event in the calendar chart.

In the Properties dialog box, you can change the element's title and select the calendar or resource element to which the legend should be linked.

In addition, you can configure the legend to be displayed horizontally instead of vertically.

Selection of Resources

This element displays a link in the browser that opens a page where you can select resources. Resources that you do not want to display in the resource chart can be deselected there. Resources that are not currently displayed can be displayed again if necessary. You can find more information here.

The settings in the Properties dialog box correspond to the settings available in the legend.
