I would like to seek help to implement the customizations to MSCRM calendar control.

I appreciate any help or guidance on the following requests.

Thank you.

1. Default to 'Month' onLoad
I'm aware that the default-to-month has deprecated in the latest calendar control version, and this settings is now configurable via Personal Settings. However, I am required to default to Month on pageLoad for all users by using Javascript, etc.

2. Display Full Calendar Control on Page without Scrollbar
Regardless of screen resolution, I want to have a 'fit-to-screen' control that displays all days in the view without the scrollbar.

3. Different Color Code Based on Condition
I want to display a different color code for different event types, and this condition can be via an optionset value in the entity, etc.

Hi @Michaelfp , thank you for the suggested PCF control.
It indeed fulfil many of my requirements.

As there is no guide on configuring different colour for each event type (e.g. holidays, work events, personal events), may I know if you have an idea on how the different colour codes can be configured for different event types in Model-Driven App?

Based on the notes in Calendar Control PCF Github, it states that

Event Color Field This will change the color of the event. You can use a color field on the event or you can utilize a color field from the resources. Enter the logical name of the attribute. Ex. on Event raw_color, Ex. on Resource raw_resource.raw_color.

However, I have no clue on this configuration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@gymcode good to know that helped you!

For the colors, I would recommend you create a collection and include a new Color in Hex value. I don't know your table structure, but here when I implemented, I have table which has the types of the events on Dataverse and handle the color from that table. In the appointment (that was my case), i have the relationship with my custom table to be able to use on the canvas apps.
ClearCollection(MyEvent,AddColumns(Appointments,"Colors",Lookup(MyCustomTable, EventType = ThisRecord.EventType).Color);

and i map into the PCF.

Kind Regards.
Please if my answer help please give me a kudo, if solve you question mark as solution.

Hi @Michaelfp ,

Thank you for your example. May I know if you can guide me on the values of color for each EventType?

Do you store the color codes, e.g. #ff0000?

I applied the field mapping of "Event Color Field" to a text field containing the HEX color code, but it doesn't seem to take effect.

I also tried mapping 2 field types, OptionSet, and a text field containing the HEX color code.

@Michaelfp by any chance you see the possibility of the PCF calendar control to display records from multiple entities?

If it is not possible, what I can think of is to display both views in a dashboard, but it looks a little bad on UX point of view.

1. User's Leave Entity

2. Public Holidays, etc, entity
