Calendar

Use this guide to add or edit the calendar component.

The calendar component displays your events in a traditional calender arrangement with various views depending on the page the calendar is added to and the device you are using to view the calendar.

Templates

This template is available for the following page types:

  • Home page
  • Event landing

Available views

The component has two layout options:

  • Month view: Events are shown in a traditional calendar month view.
  • Week: Events are shown in a week format, with all the days of the week  arranged in columns and events listed in the columns in order of the time of day (all day events appear at the top).
  • Day: Events on the current day are shown in a column view in order of the time of day (all day events appear at the top).
  • List: Events are shown in a list format in order of the date and time they are occurring.

Automatic functions

Different views are available depending on where the calendar is used or the device used to view it:

  • Narrow screens or columns: Day or list view
  • Normal width screens or columns: Month, week, day and list views
