Syndicated calendar - local calendar event source
Click here for an OverviewOverview:
Enable: Check this checkbox if you will be displaying locally-created events on the syndicated calendar page. If you are only going to display events that are externally-created in another installation of the ACTIVE Content Manager, you do not need to enable this section. Leave the box unchecked.
Edit Categories: Before you can complete this function, you need to provide a calendar administrator group in the Calendar Properties section and specify a Login Page in the End User Properties section. You must then save the page. If you prefer, you can complete the rest of the page and return to this section at the end.
Restrict Events created or submitted from this calendar to only these categories: Checking this option will ensure that events created on this calendar can only use the event categories belonging to this calendar (the ones you enter immediately below this field). If you are working with a number of syndicated calendars and all have different events, you may not want your users to be able to create events using categories from other calendars. Unchecking this option will ensure they cannot do this. This option is unselected by default. This functionality only affects events that are created from the View mode of the current calendar page. When events are created within the Syndication Manager itself, this setting does not apply and there are no restrictions on even categories - any category can be assigned.
Add: Click the Add button to add a new category for the calendar. A blank line appears. Complete the fields as indicated in the descriptions below.
Order: You can rearrange the categories in any order you like by clicking on the Order number and reentering a new number.
Category: Select one of the pre-defined categories from the drop-down list. The categories in this field come from categories you created by clicking the Edit Categories button or from categories you created on the Syndication Manager - Manage Syndicated Page Settings - Syndicated Event page. If no categories are displayed in the drop-down, add them first using one of the methods mentioned. You can add as many event categories as you like but you must be sure not to include the same one twice.
The defined categories entered here act as a search filter to determine which events are to show up on the Calendar. A Calendar with no defined category filters displays all calendar events except for those events with categories that are all set to private. Note that if a category was flagged as Private when created, it will not be available in the drop-down list.
Highlight: If you wish to display events for a particular category with a certain background color, check the highlight checkbox and then select a color or enter the hexadecimal code for the desired color. This is used for color-coding events so that viewers of your calendar can readily identify similar events by their background color.
Color: You can either type in a color code or select one by clicking the Choose link.
Event Must Have: Be careful how you use this option. If you check this field for a category it means that only events with this category assigned to them will be displayed. If an event does not have this category assigned to it, it will not be displayed, regardless of how many other categories you choose to include in this section. Also, if you do include other categories, each event must have the Event Must Have category as well as at least one of the other categories as well assigned to it.
Include in Search: This column contains a checkbox for each category that when selected means that the category must be included in the calendar filter and search screen. Keep in mind that if you made one of the categories in this section an Event Must Have category, then the only events that will get displayed on the calendar are those that have both the Event Must Have category and at minimum one of the other categories.
Delete: Click the 
to remove a category from the calendar page.
