Hello,
In v6.x, it was very easy to create a new calendar view (with a custom selection formula based on category) and have it function just like the default calendar in the LN client.
In v8.x, I’m finding it to be quite a challenge.
I’ve explored my database with the LN Designer, and have arrived at the “NotesCalendarOutline” - it looks like this is what is used to give the user the “One day, one week, one month” etc. views of their calendar. Here is a screenshot:
In the Domino Designer, the outline looks like this:
I’ve created a new view, based on the calendar view called “DeleteMe”, and have added a couple new items to the NotesCalendarOutline:
But for some reason, the results are not as expected. Below is a screenshot:
Notice the additional items marked with the blue pen.
I’m trying to figure out what “$AllLayouts” is in the outline and how it functions, but I’m not having much luck.
Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Bill
Subject: Same Problem with Extra Layout options
I am trying basically the same thing as the original poster and seeing the same results:
After the layout options for my new view, the menu lists extra options for:
Two Days
One Work Week
One Week
One Month
And if I try the old method of adding a new view, there is no way to toggle between layout formats. The tabs at the top never appear no matter what I try.
Any recommendations?
Thank you.
Subject: $AllLayouts is a reserved term
If you give the entry a name of “DeleteMe” and make sure the Alias is not set to $AllLayouts it should work correctly. I’m going off of memory here so it might not be 100% correct but it should not be set to $AllLayouts.
Subject: Unable to switch to a different calendar format
Removing $AllLayouts resulted in the DeleteMe view being displayed with no way to change the format (One Day, One Week, One Month etc…). It seems to default to a two day format, but it retains whatever format was last selected when viewing the default calendar.
It occurred to create 5 different views, each restricted to a particular format (Day/Week/Month etc…) and add an item for each in the NotesCalendarOutline, but no matter what I changed on the view properties, the format could not be restricted to a single selection in the UI.
Also, the top navigator bar is missing from the UI when the DeleteMe view is selected.
