Basic Events Calendar On-Premise

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Data Source

To begin, create or choose a list that contains date-based records.
We’ll use a Tasks list for this example.

Create a Tasks List

Include these columns:

• Title – Single line of text
• Start Date – Date and Time
• Due Date – Date and Time
• Category – Choice (Meeting, Training, Marketing, HR, Development)

Add about 10 sample items so you’ll have visible events on the calendar.

Step 2: Add a New Wiki Page

1. Go to Site Contents → Site Pages.
2. Click New → Wiki Page.
3. Enter a name, e.g., Calendar, and click Create.
4. At the top ribbon, select the Insert tab.
5. Click Web Part → Infowise → Infowise Event Calendar Plus → Add.

The web part will appear on your new page.

Step 3: Configure the Web Part

Now let’s connect the calendar to your Tasks list.

1. Click the small Edit Web Part.
   The settings panel will open on the right.
2. Under Data Settings, choose:
• Source Type: SharePoint
• Name: Tasks
• Color: Pick a color for this list.
• Tick Show data source color.
3. Leave Site URL empty to use the current site,
4. Select your Tasks list from the List dropdown.
5. Map the columns:
• Title → Title
• Start Date → Start Date
• End Date → Due Date
• (Optional) Tick Allow Category → Category                                                                   

Step 4: Configure View Settings

Scroll down to the View Settings section.

Recommended configuration:

• Calendar Type: Month
• Allow filter by data source: ✔️
• Show Category Selector: ✔️ (to enable category filtering above the calendar)
• Allow Gantt View: ✔️ (adds a timeline option)
• Show event hour in Month view: ✔️
• Maximum rows in Month view: 6
• Show “New” button: ✔️                                                                                             

These options define how users interact with the calendar and what extra tools are available for filtering or navigating.

Step 5: Apply and Save

1. Click OK → Apply → Save and Publish Page.
2. The page will refresh, and your calendar will appear populated with events from the Tasks list.

Step 6: Test the Display and Views

Each task is now shown as an event, automatically color-coded by its Category.
You can filter events using the Category Selector above the calendar:

• Select a specific category to show only related events.
• Choose All Categories to display every event again.

The view selector in the top-right corner lets you switch between:

• Day – detailed hourly layout for one day.
• Week – grouped weekly schedule.
• Month – standard full calendar grid.
• Gantt – horizontal timeline, ideal for tracking project durations.
