Calendar Plus SharePoint Web Part lets you keep your company's events and initiatives on track and up-to-date. Visually communicate date-based list data through several useful views: Go to Date, Task, Gantt, Day, Week, Work Week, Month, Quarter and Year.

View information such as events, tasks, milestones, project initiatives, legacy data, or employee vacation plans. Select a SharePoint List, a SQL Server Table or View or a DataView Web Part created by our List Rollup Web Part as the data source for your calendar items. Display calendar items by the list column of your choice, apply color-coding, apply a custom or list view filter to the calendar items, and display holidays stored in a separate list. In addition, configure the Gantt View to display project task information along with percent complete and milestone indicators. The Calendar Plus Web Part also provides support for several languages including Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

You can configure the Web Part to default to a particular view (i.e. task, day, work week, month, etc.), display a specified number of items per calendar cell, and display the color coding legend for the column you select for color coding. When you select your list for your calendar source data, you can specify which list column you want to display as well as select a column for color coding. The color coding column should be a multiple choice column, such as a drop-down list of options. An example would be a Status column. The Status column usually has several statuses like In progress, Completed, or Deferred.

Each of these options can be assigned a color so that when your item is displayed in the calendar, it will show in the color indicated by its status. Once you select your list and color coding, you must specify which single date (i.e. modified, created, begin, end) or date range to use for displaying items in the calendar. Apply a custom filter or list view if needed and indicate from which list you would like to display holiday items. Specify the column to display for holidays as well as the date column and color coding.
