Mini calendar card
Set up a mini calendar card for quick reference to upcoming events
A mini calendar card gives people an easy way of referencing past, present and future events, without having to visit the calendar page itself. In order to use a mini calendar card, the calendar you want to display in the card must already exist somewhere on the intranet.
- In edit mode, click Set up cards under Content type & template on the right. The Update cards window will open.
- Click Modify template, click the plus sign in the column you want to add it in, and click on Mini calendar in the Cards menu on the right.
- Note: If you don't see the Modify template option, and there is no mini calendar card already present in the template, talk to your intranet administrator about making the mini calendar card available for you to use.
- Click Set up on the Mini calendar card to select your options.
- In the Mini calendar pop-up window, start typing the name of the calendar you want to add in the Add calendar box.
- Click on the name of the calendar in the dropdown menu that appears.
- Under Display events occurring, choose the radio button for the events you want to display. (To learn more, see Event display time period heading below.)
- Under Number of events to display, select the maximum number of events you want to display from the dropdown menu.
- Click Update on the right of the Mini calendar setup window.
- Click Done at the bottom of the Update cards window.
- Click Save at the top right.
The size and layout of your mini calendar card will depend on the layout of your page and the size of the device it is viewed on.
Event display time period
The Display events occurring option allows you to select the time period of events to show in the mini calendar. By default, the mini calendar shows today's events only. You can select one of three options:
- Today only: Only displays events happening today. If there are no events today, the calendar will show "No scheduled events".
- Today and to month end: Displays events happening today and to the end of the month, up to the maximum number of events set to display.
- Today and upcoming: Displays events happening today and in the future, up to the maximum number of events set to display.
When viewing a mini calendar card, if you click on a specific day you will see that day's events only. To return to viewing the mini calendar's default view (eg. displaying events from today and to month end), refresh the page.
Number of events to display
You can select the maximum number of events to display from 1 to 10. The default maximum number of events displayed is 5. If there are more events in the time period than the maximum number selected to display, you can click Load more at the bottom of the mini calendar to see more events inline with the calendar. If the number of events in the time period exceeds the maximum of 10 that will display, you can click See more events at the bottom of the mini calendar to view the events on the source calendar.
