Lightning Conductor Calendar View

How to display date-based data in a calendar-style view

You can choose to display date-based data in a calendar-style view using the Lightning Conductor's built-in Calendar View. This could be data from SharePoint Events or Tasks lists, custom lists containing date fields, or event-type content from Outlook or Group calendars using the Graph Data Source Provider.

 

Enable the Calendar View

To use this view, select JSON Display Provider on the Web Part tab, and then select LightningToolsCalendar.js from the dropdown on the Display tab. OR Quick Config which will automatically select the necessary columns.

 

Columns Tab

For SharePoint Events lists, if you didn't use the Quick Configuration, you will need to select the following columns on the Columns tab, in order for events (including all-day and recurring events) to be rendered correctly.

ID, Title, Start Time, End Time, Event Type, All Day Event, Recurrence ID, RecurrenceData, MasterSeriesItemID

Display Tab

LightningToolsCalendar.js is a JavaScript code file, which you can view using the “eye” icon next to it, and which you can modify if you wish (please see Lightning Tools — Modify a Lightning Conductor JSON View). But there are many options for the Calendar view that you can set right within the Display tab, without needing to modify code. Each of the options will be reviewed in this article.
