Overview

The qCalendarView aggregates data from one or more SharePoint lists and displays it in calendar form.

The qCalendarView allows you to:

•	Aggregate data from multiple lists that reside in different SharePoint sites. The lists to be aggregated are defined in the Viewed Lists property.

•	Ensure the referential integrity of the records in the dependent lists by preventing the deletion of the parent record. The dependent lists are defined in the Viewed Lists property.

•	View your data by Month, Week, or Day.

•	Display non-recurring and recurring events from Calendar lists.

•	Customize the look and feel for each part of the calendar by using a skin.

•	Define a static filter using the CAML Filter expression or Complex Filter expression. The Complex Filter expression supports time functions (for example, AddDays) and time expression (such as [TODAY]) to filter out the data based on the moving time window. This feature is called Data Aging.

•	Access the most common functions on the data item, such as View Properties, Edit Properties, Alert Me, Export to ICalendar, and Delete. The author can turn off the context menu by setting the Enable Context Menu property to False.

•	Show or hide the calendar based on the site group and cross-site group membership of the currently logged-in user by using the Show User Groups and Hide User Groups properties.

•	Enable the chart view to consume a filter from another web part that implements IWebPartRow or IWebPartParameter interface.

TIP: To maintain the same look and feel across all web parts, save the web part as a template, and re-import it into the SharePoint gallery to reuse it.

NOTE: The IWebPartParameter consumer implementation is labeled with Get Filter From in the web part Connection menu. This interface cannot be connected with the obsolete IFilterProvider or IRowProvider implementation. Do not connect this new interface with the old interface that is marked obsolete.
