Add calendar - non mail database V8.5.1

I have been playing with the ‘Add calendar’ feature now available. Just loaded 8.5.1 and foudn out that the bug that restricted the choice of the calendar view in a non - mailbox database was now corrected and that all calendra views are appearing. GREAT !

However, I do have another issue.

The application I want to open in my calendar is an events database with a calendar view. The calendar view gets integrated into my calendar. And events appear on the day. But the jelly beans are empty. No text in the beans or when I hoover above them with the mouse.

I tried accessing mailboxes in different formats /7, 8, 8.5. It shows the contents of the ‘Subject’ Field. So I included this field into the documents that show in the calendar view that I want to merge. To no avail.

I counted columns in the $Calendar view of a mailbox and tried having column 14 and 15 show the subject variable in the view to be integrated. Nada. All stays blank.

There must be an explanation - which I did not find in the designer online help.

Can someone tell me which column/variable needs to be available in the view that gets merged into my calendar so I can make necessary changes ?

Thanks in advance !

Subject: More—

I did make a mistake and my calendar was pointing on the wrong server. After correcting that, I was able to find out that columns 9, 10 are shown before the icon in the jelly bean and column 14 after the icon.

It worked, for 5 minutes. An now suddendly all is blank again…

Frustration…

Can someone shed a light ?

Changes to apply to older Notes calendar views

For this feature to work with an older Notes Teamroom application, an administrator must first make changes to attributes on the $CalendarView in the application template if these columns are available

Subject: Great - most is ok now

Thanks a thousand times.Was able to make information visible by setting each attribute to the column depending on its content.

Did it on 2 different types of calendar views, onw with only dates, one with dates and duration.

Both came out ok.

The only thing that did not make is is the icon.

I tried choosing ‘no icon’ for the whole calendar feed, it did not help.

I figure this is probably true as well for colours, as the settings for the calendar feed probably override them.

or are they good for something else I am not aware of and could help me make my application even better ?!

By the way, any chance to get the link to the full document ?

Thanks again for your fast and efficient assistance.
