Additonal Attributes in Calendar

ACDC

I would like to include some other attributes in the calendar view, like Customer Name and Telephone Number etc etc

At present, all you can place there is a "Subject". Its common sense to offer other attribute options in the Display Results, like you have in the other queries.

What seemed to be a dynamic Calendar feature at first, turns out to be a very basic one. I am also confused about recurring entries, the Common Controls feature obviously does not seem to be implemented here

Is there a work around possible to include other attributes in the calendar somehow.

Thank You

Hey ACDC,

I feel your pain...trust me. I have been looking for a working recurring solutions since I purchase the product over a year and a half ago.

That said, I usually have the subject updated by a rule to display the data that I want (in the order that I want). I also usually always create shortcuts for the main parts of any of my referenced objects. Remember to check the subject attribute as a calculated field if you try the following example:

If Appointment WAS CHANGED OR Appointment IS NEW Then
Appointment.Subject=Appointment.AccountSC+' - '+Appointment.ContactLastNameSC+' - '+Appointment.AccountStatusSC

Then on the calendar it should look like this:

ACT10024 - Smith - Active

Of course it could be any format or data...it's up to you.

As far as Recurring goes; Aware...Guys...this is a BIG deal. Nobody expects to have a calendar feature without recurring ability. Especially on a high-powered enterprise level web & database application generating software system.

It looks even worse when the presentation layer that you have integrated into your application has this as a feature and you neglected/refused to add it. You even said that this WILL be in the next version over a year ago...we are still waiting. I do appreciate your attempts at offering "solutions" to creating recurring events but none work in a way that doesn't require a large amount of effort. I have abondoned Aware for this in the meantime and use an ASP.NET application builder for offering calendar based activity to my users. They go to the page, create their recurring details, export the data, then Aware picks it up via process and imports the data into Awares tables...a lot of work for something that should just be there...

Hi PEFS

Thanks, that sort off gives me a work around... never could work out the space between the fields bit.

I looked at the recurrence example again on the CC website and it really would be great to have this built into the calendar.

Obviously there must be some good reasons why it was left out, maybe its to complex or time consuming to integrate this feature, relative to the demand for it and the pending transition to XTJS which at the moment seems to be quite a bumpy ride

Anyway I hope they implement this soon sometime, as bringing in a third party option for me would be to messy.

Also the nested tabs example would really work form me. I think the CC have got some good offerings, hopefully they will still look at these features in the near future. Maybe support could comment whether CC has been shut down for good with the new ExtJS stuff being implemented or can we still look forward to some more CC features/issues to be worked on
