Tasks as part of calendar views

We have recently upgraded from Calendar 5.x to 6.2 (as part of Communications Express).
Some of our users are expressing their preference for the way Calendar 5 merged tasks with events in the various day/week/month views.
Is there a way to have tasks display with events in the various calendar views with Calendar 6?
Thanks, Bob.

In UWC/CE the tasks are displayed on the left-hand-side tasks box so it seems the developers didn't deem it necessary to merge the task data into the calendar events view as well.
The new interface (convergence) also doesn't merge the task information into the calendar. I have created an RFE (requested for enhancement) on your behalf to have this added in a future release.
RFE#6723333 - "Provide option to merge date and date/time tasks into calendar view".

Display Calendar View in List View Web Part

We have a list and a calendar view of the list. I wanted to display the calendar view of the list in a List View Web Part in another page in the site.
When I select the 'Calendar View' from the Views drop-down - it does not work.
Please can you help.

Hi Aritra,
Is there some errors on your environment? So, you can have two workaround to do it.
You can use SharePoint designer to add an empty data view source on your page ,then select the page.
Use
Page viewer web part on your page, then put your calendar view web part page URL into your PVWP.
Thanks,

[E2010] [EWSMA] [C#] [Windows]: How do I get Tasks to show up in the Calendar view

When creating a task from EWS, the Owner field is empty. I believe this causes my created Task to disappear when I am in the Calendar view (showing Tasks on the bottom). The created Task still shows up in the Tasks view, but not the Calendar
view (where Tasks are on the bottom).
Creating a task in Outlook shows it on the Calendar view, but creating a Task with the same values from EWS does not show it there. The only difference is the Owner field of the Task, which is read-only in EWS. Can we set this somehow?
ExchangeService ews;
ews = new ExchangeService();
ews.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
ews.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]");
Task taskItem = new Task(ews);
taskItem.Subject = "subject";
taskItem.Body = "body";
taskItem.IsReminderSet = true;
taskItem.ReminderDueBy = DateTime.Now;
taskItem.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
taskItem.Save();
Thanks,
-Daniel

I can sort of reproduce what your talking about I think its because your setting the Start and Due date to the same time which seems to affect the search folder that's used for the view. The following seems to work okay for me
Task taskItem = new Task(service);
taskItem.Subject = "Created From qqq";
taskItem.Body = "body";
taskItem.IsReminderSet = true;
taskItem.ReminderDueBy = DateTime.Now;
taskItem.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
taskItem.DueDate = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
taskItem.Status = TaskStatus.NotStarted;
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidLidToDoOrdinalDate = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.Common, 0x85A0, MapiPropertyType.SystemTime);
taskItem.SetExtendedProperty(PidLidToDoOrdinalDate, DateTime.Now.AddHours(1));
ExtendedPropertyDefinition FlagDueBy = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.Common, 0x8560, MapiPropertyType.SystemTime);
taskItem.SetExtendedProperty(FlagDueBy, DateTime.Now.AddHours(1));
taskItem.Save();
Cheers

Show your tasks in the calendar view - Outlook Web App

Hi,
Is it possible to show your tasks in the calendar view in Outlook Web App 2013 ?
Some explanations of what I want to do :-)
We use Project Server so user can encode their work, this tasks are sync with an Exchange Server 2013 so tasks can be view in Outlook Web App. It's working really fine but we also want that in OWA, tasks are showed in a calendar so users can share what they
have to do.
How can we add the tasks into a calendar or how can an user can easily share what he do ?
Thanks,
Patmol

Hi Patmol,
Tasks are not listed in
calendar in Outlook/OWA, To view task you will have to go to
Tasks folder or view the task
in To-do bar. You can also see the tasks for the day
in calendar folder if you go to Daily Task List. There are no Add-ins from Microsoft that can add
tasks in the
calendar along with Meetings/Appointments.
Thanks,
James

Simple Event Calendar View?

I have looked everywhere for a simple php event calendar to
view an existing tasks/events MySQL table.
Lots around but.....
The only one I found that was relatively easy to install was
Vcalendar but this creates multiple tables and I wanted to be able
to manipulate the php files to view data that I already had.
Does anyone know of a robust simple calendar view (not the
mini popups) that can be easily adapted.
My existing table can be altered slightly if required but I
don't want to have to completely change the structure of my
database.
Here's hoping......

Hello,
I got this from a colleague of mine so I can't take credit for it but here might be a possible workaround:
1. Create two new Columns called Start Filter and End Filter. Make these columns Calculated Columns with formulas of [Start Time] and [End Time] respectively. The columns should be of the Date and Time\Date and Time type and should not be displayed on the Default View.
2. Click Advanced Settings and choose Yes to the question "Allow management of Content Types" in the Content Types section. Click OK.
3. Click on the Event Content Type. Open the two columns created in step 1 and select "hidden" for both of them. Click OK.
4. Back at the list settings create a new view or edit an existing view. When you get to the filter section choose "Show items only when the following is true" and select the following:
Start Filter
is less than or equal to
[Today]
And
End Filter
is greater than or equal to
[Today]
5. Click OK to save the view.
6. Open the List view web part that is displaying the recently changed calendar and change the view to the newly created or newly edited view. Click Apply, OK.

Internet Explorer 11 and SharePoint 2013 Standard - Web Parts and Calendar Don't Display/Render Correctly

Hello everyone.
I am currently running a fully patched (Service Pack 1) version of SharePoint Standard 2013 On Premises. I am having 2 problems that are reproducible on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on multiple computers when running Internet Explorer 11 (fully updated
through Windows Update). The issues are "fixed" when running compatibility view in the browser or using Chrome/Firefox.
The issues are as follows:
Issue 1 Calendar view does not display correctly
Issue 2 Web parts do not display correctly when editing a page.
Picture of calendar
Webpart "edit menu dropdown" in upper right corner is replaced with 2 up arrows. Clicking minimizes web part.
Is there any word on a fix for this? Is this something only I am experiencing? Is there an issue with my SharePoint server? I would hate to have to uninstall IE11 from 300 machines and install IE10.
Thanks

There are a few critical issues
Pages will not enter edit mode. You will click Settings > Edit Page and the page will simply refresh but will not change over into edit mode. Seems to only affect pages with
Web Part Zones.
Calendar will not enter edit mode.
Web Part Properties cannot be modified. If you are able to get into edit mode (you can edit wiki pages) you will not be able to modify existing Web Parts by using the Web Part
Properties panel. Instead you will see a really weird collapse button that looks like it is coming from the mobile view but you cannot modify web part properties… even through the ribbon controls.
I cannot use the import spreadsheet app, the error says it is not supported with the current browser.
When I hoover over a “people” field I cannot see their information.
I had all these capabilities with IE9
This suggestion I found online appears to fix issues 1-3.
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-7/fixing-most-not-all-ie11-compatibility-problems
To run in compatibility mode
Press ALT + T when viewing your      SharePoint page
Click Compatibility View Settings      in the menu that appears
Click Add to add the current      SharePoint site to your list of compatibility view pages
Click Close

Calendar View: Unable filter Recurring Event by Start/End Time and Group by Recurring Event View

Hi All,
I have just found several issues with Calendar View from WSS 3.0:
Unable to filter by [Start Time] and [End Time]
I am not sure why these 2 columns doesn't appear in the Filtering column in the View Settings. The workaround found in the internet is to create calculated column for Start Time and and End Time. However, it doesn't work for Recurring Event, the calculated column will show only first recurring event Start Time.
Unable to use "Group By"
When I create new view in Calendar using format: "Standard View, with Expanding Recurring Events", there is no option to specify "Group By". Anyone knows how to show all recurring event in List view and grouped by Start Time (or any other column).
Thank you and apprecate for any idea.

How to export SharePoint 2013 Calendar View to PPT or as an image?

Greetings!
I am working on a SharePoint 2013 event calendar and should be able to provide a capability to export my calendar view (day/week/month) as a PPT slide or as an image. I understand that OOB we can export the calendar list to Excel or open using MS Access.
I had been exploring the option of using the Chart View Web Part which can be saved as an image (jpeg/bmp/png). Here are the pitfalls - Chart View WP does not support calendar view. At best, I am able to use the Gantt Chart Types, but having difficulty using
Calendar list "Start Time" column for one of the axes. There is End Time and Duration columns available for selection, but not start time. Also, I am unable to define date range for my date in the x-axis. Right now I have an x-axis
that spans over 40 years. Is there any way to confine the chart for a particular quarter or year.
At this time, I am inclined to look at custom development approaches. Any suggestions regarding an approach will be really helpful.
Thanks!

Well, even if you want to go through "Export", it will be more manual work than taking a screenie. Unless of course you want to achieve it programmatically (am not sure what to do there).
Another option could be to subscribe to the SharePoint Calendar from Outlook. That way you can eliminate the need for the PPT (?) and also enable your users/clients/management to have more clarity on how the dates stand vis-a-vis other stuff they have listed
on their calendars.

Dynamic Filter To Sharepoint Calendar View

Hello ,
I want to add Dynamic column filter to Calendar View of sharepoint.
Is there any one has good Approach for this ?
Regards, Shivaji

Hi Shivaji,
In fact, to filter dynamic we can use Filter Web Part, however the Filter Web Part Connections cannot connect to Calendar View by default. In this case, may be you can custom Filter Web Part to achieve your
requirement.

Calendar view on page for Published site.

I have a subsite, and I create a calendar for meetings, on a new page I added a web part to show the calendar (calendar view). when I logged on the site, each event has their one link to details, (disform.aspx?id= something) but as soon I publish the
page, and go and use the browser as anonymous (not logged), I can see the calendar but I don't have links to see the details of the event.
I know this work because on the same site I have another subsite with another calendar and it is working just fine, i tried and I know I did it in another site, I just don't have links in this one.
the collapse or add links show up and work fine, it is just the link to the events detail. Someone can help me?

I did a test in my environment with anonymous access in the publish site and the event is in the calendar.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as followings:
1. Check the anonymous access in the site settings-> site permission->Anonymous Access->Entire Web Access.
2. Check if you have deactived the feature “limited-access user permission lock down mode” feature in site collection feature.
3. If the issue still exists, I suggest you recreate a calendar to test whether it works.

Programmatically created calendar view does not appear on view selector menu

Hi!
I'm using the following code to create a calendar view for a list:
using (var site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
var viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection { dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName, titleFieldName };
var query = string.Format("<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name='{0}' /><FieldRef Name='{1}' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Month /></Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>", dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName);
var viewData = string.Format("<FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarMonthTitle' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarWeekTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarWeekLocation' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarDayTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarDayLocation' />", titleFieldName);
var list = site.RootWeb.Lists["ESM Leaves"];
var newView = list.Views.Add("Calendar11", viewFields, query, 0, true, false, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
newView.ViewData = viewData;
newView.MobileView = true;
newView.Update();
list.Update();
My problem is that even though the view is created, it does not appear in the View links just above my list. It only appears in the drop down menu of views in the ribbon. On the contrary, if I create the view using the browser user interface (not programmatically),
the view appears in both places.
Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Dimitris Papadimitriou, Software Development Professional

Hi papadi,
I can reproduce the issue that creating calendar view using programming method, the view isn’t shown in view selector menu, and this only happens to calendar view, html view or other views are shown in the menu.
After editing the web part, disable the selector menu, then re-enable the selector menu again, I can see the calendar view shown in the view selector menu, create a new calendar view using programming, the calendar view shows as expected.
This seems indicate there is some issue in the view selector menu display, I would suggest you to first disable the view selector menu through edit the web part properties, then create the calendar view.
Thanks,
Qiao

Calendar view

Hi
I am creating a universe for a Project Management application. The universe will have information of the type: projects, task, people assigned to the task, leaves etc.
One of the requirements of the business is to populate this information in calendar view. Is there any nice way to do it rather than a pivot table. Similar to the calendar that you can do in Share Point.
Thanks
Teresa

I think it would be nice to pull the data in dashboard to achieve your prefered format functionality.

MS Project - print formatting in calendar view

Hi -
I am currently adding multiple subprojects into a master plan.
When in the calendar view before printing all tasks are showing and correct.
Once I go to print the print preview screen is correct.
However once the 1 week calendar view is printed, there are BLANK BOXES appearing in the print-out.
No tasks are taking place during the time where the BLANKS appear.
Is this a glitch in MS Project - calendar view?
Please help much appreciated.
Kattie

Hi Kattie,
I've seen such an issue due to old print drivers. Try to update your drivers and test to see if it helps.
Hope this helps,

ICal and calendar lists in calendar view

The calendar lists no longer appear in the calendar view of iCal. I was having a problem so deleted ical from the macbook, then did a complete reinstall with an archive and save old settings, THEN updated all the software, THEN deleted the user account that does not show the calendar lists. THEN went to the admin account which has iCal working well with all views and did a reset of my .mac info so that it was/should be just as the correct one was. THEN set up another user account and reloaded the data on inital sync to overwrite data in the new user account. I thought that all these steps should have my calendar lists back BUT not so! Interestingly when i make the calendar list window smaller the scroll bar appears. Any assistance with this will be appreciated

There is now a new app doing exactly that. ReplyAll app is a new iPhone app which allows to reply to all attendees of a calendar events or forward it to a new invitee as well as replying by SMS to the event organizer.

I have iPhone4, IOS 7.1.1 - calendar view issues

I have updated both my iPhone and my iPad retina display to IOS 7.1.1. On my iPad I have the calendar view to see a list of everything in calendar, but on the iPhone I don't. I am unable to attach a screen shot so I'll explain what I can see:-
iPhone - I go into calendar and it's on a year view, I then click on today, then I click on the actual date, which zooms into a month view. I then have a few icons at the top. From left to right, I see the month/year, then a rectangle box with two lines underneath (no dots), then search option, then add entry.. I click on a day in the month and I cannot view the whole day, there is a tiny space at the bottom of the screen and it doesn't open fully so I can view by week or day. I used to be able to click on search and a whole list of all my calendar entries are in a list I can scroll through, can't seem to do that anymore!
iPad - I go into calendar and it's on a year view, I then click on Day, Week or Month view no problem. I click on search and I can see everything in a list format.
Please help

Hey santhosh186,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you can't be heard and you can't hear them through the speaker phone. I understand why this is a problem and this article should be able to help you out.
