Calendar View
+ +
+ The Calendar view of Book notes will display each child note in a calendar + that has a start date and optionally an end date, as an event.
+Unlike other Book view types, the Calendar view also allows some kind + of interaction, such as moving events around as well as creating new ones.
+Creating a calendar
+| 1 | +
+ 
+ + |
+
+ The Calendar View works only for Book note types. To create a new note, + right click on the note tree on the left and select Insert note after, + or Insert child note and then select Book. ++ |

+ Once created, the “View type” of the Book needs changed to “Calendar”, + by selecting the “Book Properties” tab in the ribbon. | +
Creating a new event/note
+-
+
- Clicking on a day will create a new child note and assign it to that particular
+ day.
+
-
+
- You will be asked for the name of the new note. If the popup is dismissed + by pressing the close button or escape, then the note will not be created. +
+ - It's possible to drag across multiple days to set both the start and end
+ date of a particular note.
+
+
+
+
Interacting with events
+-
+
- Hovering the mouse over an event will display information about the note.
+
+
+
+ - Left clicking the event will go to that note. Middle clicking will open + the note in a new tab and right click will offer more options including + opening the note in a new split or window. +
- Drag and drop an event on the calendar to move it to another day. +
- The length of an event can be changed by placing the mouse to the right + edge of the event and dragging the mouse around. +
Configuring the calendar
+-
+
- The first day of the week can be either Sunday or Monday and can be adjusted + from the application settings. +
How the calendar works
+
+ 
The calendar displays all the child notes of the book that have a #startDate.
+ An #endDate can optionally be added.
If editing the start date and end date from the note itself is desirable, + the following attributes can be added to the book note:
#viewType=calendar #label:startDate(inheritable)="promoted,alias=Start Date,single,date" #label:endDate(inheritable)="promoted,alias=End Date,single,date" #hidePromotedAttributes This will result in:

+ 
+
Advanced use-cases
+Using a different attribute as event title
+By default, events are displayed on the calendar by their note title. + However, it is possible to configure a different attribute to be displayed + instead.
+To do so, assign #calendar:title to the child note (not the
+ calendar/book note), with the value being #name where name can
+ be any label. The attribute can also come through inheritance such as a
+ template attribute. If the note does not have the requested label, the
+ title of the note will be used instead.
+ 
+ |
+
+ 
+ |
+
Using a relation attribute as event title
+Similarly to using an attribute, use #calendar:title and set
+ it to ~name where name is the name of the relation
+ to use.
Moreover, if there are more relations of the same name, they will be displayed + as multiple events coming from the same note.
+
+ 
+ |
+
+ 
+ |
+
Note that it's even possible to have a #calendar:title on the
+ target note (e.g. “John Smith”) which will try to render an attribute of
+ it. Note that it's not possible to use a relation here as well for safety
+ reasons (an accidental recursion of attributes could cause the application
+ to loop infinitely).
