Display Options
Display As: Allow users to select to view the calendar in a Weekly or Monthly format. When the Weekly format is selected users have three additional options:
-
Weekly Display Style: Allow users to select an Hourly, List, or Timeline view.
- Hourly: Displays the list of events by time of day, top to bottom (from 12am to 12pm). All day events appear at the top of the calendar with key dates and tasks.
- List: Displays the list of items in a stacked list grouped by item types.
- Timeline: Displays the list items in a rich user experience similar to other timeline display modes throughout the application.
- Number Of Days: Allow users to select the number of days displayed. Please note this option is not available when using the Matter Calendar when the component's Narrow View option has been enabled in the Lightning app builder deployment options.
- Show Weekends: Suppresses Saturday and Sunday (or Weekends) from the days displayed in the list.
Options to Filter By
The options within this section allow users to dynamically select the type(s) of items to display in the calendar. Users can choose a specific color code to display the respective item type. (Not applicable in Timeline view)
For organizations that choose not to track time, Time can be disabled on the Matter Calendar from AdvoLogix Setup. Follow this link for more information on modifying this setting.
Ability to quickly filter down activities within the calendar to a specific matter.
If neither Focus Matters or List View Filter is unchecked, then the Matter Calendar will display activities throughout your organization that may or may not be associated with a matter, in the current view of the calendar.
- Focus Matters: This option, usually enabled, allows users to limit calendar items to those items assigned to their Focus Matters. Users may further limit the items assigned to matters in which they play a specific role. It is important to note that this option is not required (or displayed) when working within the matter's record page.
- List View Filter: This option allows users to limit calendar items to those items assigned to matters meeting the criteria from a saved list view filter. It is important to note, this option is not required (or displayed) when working within the matter's record page.
- List View Filter: This option allows users to view a subset of event items displayed in the calendar using the saved event list view filter option.
- Show Cancelled: This option allows canceled events to show on the calendar.
- List View Filter: This option allows users to view a subset of task items displayed in the calendar using the saved task list view filter option.
- Overdue Tasks: When enabled, this option only displays tasks that are overdue.
- Incomplete Tasks: When enabled, completed tasks will not be shown in the calendar.
- List View Filter: This option allow users to view a subset of time items displayed in the calendar using the saved time list view filter option.
- Always Show: This option surfaces all items assigned to the running user without regard to the Assigned Matter filter.
- Show Only: This option limits the calendar items to those the current user is explicitly assigned to.
A distinct list of users is displayed from the currently displaying list of activities in the calendar view. This list of users further allows you to show or hide activities by them in the currently displaying calendar view.
This action is available when a filter change is detected from the default calendar configuration setup within AdvoLogix Setup.
Clicking on this action will reload the Matter Calendar filters to the default state.
As specified above, the filter options are slightly different when using the Matter Calendar from the matter's record page than in the organizational context.
