Make sure the first column of the view is based on a Date/Time field and is sorted in ascending order.If the documents display, the selection formula is valid. To test the selection formula, change the view to a standard view or refresh the view while in IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Designer. Make sure the documents you want to display in the view match the selection formula. Check the selection formula for the view.If the calendar view does not display as you expect, there may be a problem with the selection formula or with the definition of the first column. For example, if you have two entries for 12 PM and one entry for 1 PM, the different displays are as follows: Group entries checked In weekly and monthly views, "Group entries together by time slot" clusters entries under time slots instead of listing entries for a day. The option "Users may toggle time slots on/off for each day lets a user display and hide time slots for a selected day. If you select the option "Users may override these times," the user's IBM® Lotus® Notes® client calendar preference determines how time slots are displayed in the calendar. If you select this option then you must choose a start and end time for the time slots as well as the duration - for example, one hour. If "Time slot display" is selected, time slots appear in the view. Sets the format displayed to the user when the view first opens.Ī time slot is a graphical display of time periods in the view. These are weeks that display without Saturday and Sunday. Note that the "Work calendars" option includes one work week, two work weeks, and the work month formats. For example, if you want to give the user the choice to view the calendar in a one month format or a one day format, check those two options.

Click the Date and Time format of the View properties box. Once you create a calendar view, you can format it. In the Column properties box, select "Hide column."ĩ.Ĝreate a view selection formula that will select the documents to be displayed - for example, _Calendar Entry. The second column must map to a field or formula on the document that specifies, in minutes, the duration of the event and it should be hidden. If you want the time zone to always be displayed, add another (visible) column to the view and put the time zone information in that column.Ĩ.Ĝreate a second column or click the second column of the existing view. Tip The column settings for this column allow you to specify "Always show time zone," but this setting (along with the other column display settings) is not used by the calendar display. Otherwise, the entries display under the first matching date only.ħ.Ĝlick the Date and Time tab of the Column properties box and check the Display Date and Display Time options. For example, the Mail template uses this technique for displaying repeating events. Note If you have a field on your form that allows multiple values, and you want each value to display as separate entries in the calendar view, select the column sorting option "Show multiple values as separate entries" for the first column. Open the Column properties box and click the Sorting tab.

The first column of a calendar view defines the Date/Time the entry will display and should be hidden.ĥ. In the Column properties box, select "Hide column." Click yes to continue.Ĥ.Ĝlick the first column. You can either complete Steps 1 through 10 for creating a standard view or you can convert an existing view to a calendar view.ġ.Ĝreate a new view or open an existing view.ģ. You begin by creating a standard outline view. It is best to create the form first, and then create the calendar view to display the documents created using the form. For an example of a calendar view, see the R6 Mail template (mail6.ntf) $Calendar view, and for an example of a calendar form see the form _Calendar Entry. In a calendar view, documents that are created using a form designed for scheduling individual meetings, appointments, events, and the like, display as entries on a calendar.
