Calendar View - Change Bullet Point Color

Unknown

I am creating a dashboard consisting of a report in calendar view. I want to change the color of the bullet points according to the date which is blue by default. If the date of the task is before todays date, then I want to change it to red. If task is due date is today then, yellow. If the date is in future, I want to make it green. Is it possible to do so in Decisions? If so, can you please guide me how to do so?

Hi,

I have attached a sample project displaying this behavior.

This is possible with the use of a color flow. More information on how to set this up can be found here - [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/color-flow-behavior]https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/color-flow-behavior[/url].

I have attached an example project that should help in setting this up. Within the color flow we use a truth table to determine if dates are less than, greater than, or equal to the current date. From the truth table we output the ColorDetails type to output the color for the bullet points.

Hello,

Can you please elaborate on what you looking to do?

How can I make a drawing similar to the 2021 template I linked above?

Hello,

Am I assuming correctly that you want a calendar view that looks like the example you provided where users can drill down into each date?

If so, there is unfortunately no native way for to customize the calendar view in this way in current versions of Decisions. It should be possible, however, to create a custom Java Script page control that could do this.

For additional information please see our documentation on creating and loading custom JS controls for Decisions [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/creating-javascript-form-controls]here[/url] and [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/javascript-control-using-library]here[/url].

Can you please describe, how you put the custom calendar view for the reports. And how do I create a unique report for each date??

Hello,

We outline how to set up the calendar view for reports in our documentation [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/report-viewer-in-calendar-mode]here[/url], but to recap a calendar view is added under the "Views" section of the report designer.

From here the displayed contents of each calendar item can be customized by editing the text merge for the calendar view in the report editor.

When the report it run, clicking on a date in the calendar view will drill down into a report of all of the items for the specific date, like this:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions about this.

How can I move items from a report to the Calendar View Report on any desired date, further in the future??

What logic shall I use for the user action, if possible that way?

Hello,

We can do this by editing the date that the report is using as its Primary Calendar Provider. We can then build an action that changes that date. We can use a selective update step that will only update the fields you want. In your case it would be the date that is used as the Primary Calendar Provider.

I want to provide the end-user the capability to Right Click on any record in a report and Schedule it to any date in the future through a calendar date selection popup. WHich moves this record from that report to the Calender View Report.
//Please help

Hi Kartikay

Having a SelectiveUpdate/Save entity step in the User Action Flow should update the value for the date and make the entity visible in the Calendar view. Let us know if this doesnt resolve your issue.
