You can define multiple calendars. A single calendar can include calendar entries from multiple entities. Each calendar can have different activity entities displayed and different constraints and rules applied. | |||
Calendars can be added to the app project in several ways: | |||
* You can define one or more "global" calendars that you can add as a menu item to the [[home screen]]. Global calendars can contain activities from several entities, for example, appointments and tasks. | |||
* For entities that have the start date and end date fields defined, app users can flip the view to display the records as a calendar. | |||
* This calendar view is also available when you add an associated or unrelated entity list as a tab to a form. | |||
== What can be displayed as a calendar == | |||
The calendar view is available primarily for '''[[Glossary#Activity|activity]] entities''', i.e. [[entity|entities]] that include start time and end time fields that can be displayed in a calendar. However, any entity can be displayed as a calendar, if you define the appropriate [[View#Date_fields|date fields]] on the entity view. | |||
