When you first publish a calendar, you choose a default calendar view, which you can change at any time later. You're not constrained to just one view per main calendar spud, however. You can add as many views as you want and give visitors the ability to switch between views.
I'd like more information about the main calendar spud and adding views.
How do I let visitors switch views?
Calendar view choices
You can preview calendar views. Before you preview, make sure you add some future events to your calendar.
Tip Previews give you a general sense of how calendar views look, but remember, some of the customization options available for each view aren't reflected in the preview. For example, the List view preview doesn't include images even though the view supports them.
The following steps assume you've already published your calendar and selected a default calendar view. (See: Publish calendars.)
To preview a calendar view
Click Preview beside the calendar view thumbnail.
These views support event images: List, Classic Table, Detail List - Date, Detail List - Title, Photo Events, Tile, News.
If you want an all-purpose, extremely flexible view, go with List view. The view supports images, gives you control over which fields to display, supports featured events, and more.
Mobile Table and Tile calendar views are designed specifically for optimal display on phones and tablets.
You can also customize event detail views and event action pages for mobile display.
These views give you control over which fields to display: List, Classic Table, News, 3 Columns, Compact List, Performance Schedule, List by Month, and Tile.
Yes, the Tile calendar view displays your events and images in tiles, arrayed in columns. The tiles can have fixed heights, forming a consistent grid, or variable heights, dynamically positioned within the vertical columns on the page (often called "Pinboard style").
The tiles (and columns) can also have variable widths, stretching to fit horizontally on the page until a set threshold is met. As the screen width moves beyond the threshold, either within desktop browser windows or for mobile devices, the number of columns displayed automatically adjusts to fit the available space – down to one event per row.
That's exactly what Map view is for. Note that only events with map links show up in Map view.
Three calendar views support featured events: Classic Table, List, and Tile.
Yes. List and Tile calendar views have image-only layouts you can customize.
Yes. You can hide event times in the Classic Month or Classic Multi-Week calendar views.
Classic Month and Classic Multi-Week both present events in a standard calendar grid.
News view is designed specifically to list events in descending order.
For an example of a calendar that uses News view, see the What's New calendar on the Trumba® website.
In many calendar views, you have the option of listing events in descending order. Use the Sort order setting in the Paging section to change the listing order.
Change the order in which events are listed using the Sort order setting.
How do I change calendar view settings?
Tip Views for which you cannot change the sort order include Classic Day, Classic Month, Classic Multi-Day, Classic Multi-Week, Classic Week, Conference Schedule, Linear Grid, Map, and Performance Schedule.
All views support ongoing events but, with some views, you have to turn on a setting to include events that started in the past.
The trick with ongoing events is that they can take over your calendar and make it difficult for visitors to find regular events. To avoid the ongoing event takeover, you can create an event filter that lets visitors show and hide ongoing events.
How are ongoing events different from repeating and multi-day events?
