SharePoint Modern Calendar with Form Formatting JSON

[@Worrelpa]

Well that's another common problem fixed and off my list. Thanks Reza Next question I will get from customers will be formatting the events in the calendar to different colours and overlays like classic can handle but I guess we will have to wait for Microsoft to make that available or more options available for that. :) Brilliant work.

[@RezaDorrani]

Thanks for the fabulous feedback. Calendar overlays, recurring events andmore features are missing in modern. Let's hope over time we get those features back.

[@ppei2012]

Reza, we all don't like the old calendar and I have been waiting for an easy way to create modern calendar. You offered a great solution to change the old calendar to modern calendar. Thank you!

[@RezaDorrani]

You are so welcome!

[@AlexRathwyn]

Reza, your content continues to help me every day in trying to use Microsoft's out-of-box functionality to achieve advanced outcomes. In my company, 'citizen developers' like myself are limited to what is available to us with our M365 suite and base SharePoint. This is probably the sixth or seventh video of yours that has immediately solved a problem for me. Thank you!

[@scotthoyt2773]

Fantastic video Reza. This helps a ton. I'd like to add a function that shows a view of conflicting events. When selecting or mousing over a date, can a view show events that one or more people are assigned, as well as any conflicts and what the specific conflict is between events (e.g. people on leave and not available to be assigned tasks, or tasks happening at the same time assigned to the same person and therefore showing a conflict of date availability)? Or, as a manager, I'd like to see what conflicts are occurring in the coming days/months for people, project event titles, and resources (i.e. personnel availability such as if people are on leave, or not enough qualified personnel, or other constraint requirements).

[@RezaDorrani]

The calendar view is basic to start with. Using JSON formatting only provides info for current item. It cannot traverse items to provide conflict information.

[@kengami]

great video, thanks! Quick question: how can I edit the calender view in order to ONLY show Monday-Friday and hide Saturday+Sunday?!?! Thanks!

Welcome! This video is related to form formatting only. Not sure if there is such an option available in view formatting.

Excellent, exactly what I needed... thank you. Need your advise, I added the attendees column in the Events list, however, it does not appear when adding a new event... need to change the JSON Body? & Header?

[@flois88]

great video, very informative on my current calendar issue, is there json formatting for adding a resource checker? Or what happens when there are overlapping times choosen??

[@RezaDorrani]

JSON formatting is only for data for that list. Resource checking and overlays are not possible as of now. Power Apps might be an option.

[@hudge5]

This is great. I am trying to retain the " + Add to calendar" feature that is in the classic event format but is not in a modern list. Is there a way to have that feature remain when using the modern format? So by opening the detail form that feature would be listed to download the ics file?

I believe if you click on the event shown in calendar it does download the ics file. We cannot change much in the UI at the moment.

This looks great, however I had a couple of issues when I tried and I'm not sure if I missed something. 1) First issue was the dates were not recognised because my site settings were English(Australia). I changed to English (US) and it resolved the issue, but is there a way to modify the json to make it work for English (Australia)? 2) second issue is if you double click on a calendar entry in the view, the browser navigates to about:blank and downloads a 000 File (.000). Is there a way to fix this so that it launches the information pane?

1 - not sure about the time zone issue. 2 - It is the default behavior of the calendar control. User will have to click the details icon.

I liked the trick of taking a classic calendar list, which is compatible with Outlook, and adding the modern calendar view to either supplement or replace the classic calendar view. However, I don't think it works in Teams using the Lists app. This is a similar behavior when trying to add a classic list to a modern page. So, I recommend just starting with a modern experience list from scratch so that you can put this nice JSON prettified view on your page and have it show up in Teams with hassling users about access issues.

In the "Hero" option, if we change it to show only one tile, and open a calendar page or the calendar list, all that is shown is an image and link to open a different calendar page or calendar list.

Hello Reza, I get the modern view when I select all list view, but when I select +New to create a new task, I do not get the single event pane on the right, I get the old add event window? Could this be an entitlement issue?

[@RezaDorrani]

Should not be. May be your list is not a modern list.

Hi...how to know week number based selected date?

[@RezaDorrani]

Here is the full schema definition - developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json I have not tried this but with some of the functions available, this could be possible.

[@MC-dk2st]

How did you created the two columns for Time and Date? Mine is only showing one standard format date and time.

[@RezaDorrani]

A calendar comes with start date and end date. Automatically those columns should show up.

Hi Reza, I have a customised SP Form. When I open the form in new or edit mode, it shows "Apply Label" field automatically, which is really annoying. Can you please advise, how I can hide that field in my form

[@RezaDorrani]

I noticed this yesterday as well. It has to do with retention labels of Office 365. Currently, No way to remove it.

@@RezaDorrani Thank you!

[@marieraymond6512]

Great job with this, Thanks Reza. something weird with the 'Title' showing up as 1_.000, 2_.000. 3_.000, etc....

[@RezaDorrani]

Looks like its showing the version number of item in your case. Check your JSON schema or Title column value.

[@marieraymond6512]

@@RezaDorrani I went to check the Body JSON code and it was gone. The header was there. Added it again, and it would not SAVE.

[@marieraymond6512]

I found an article about it to fix it.

[@RezaDorrani]

Great!

Marie, Do you still have the link for this issue?

How would I go about adding events recurring to this? It’s available in events but not list when I hit new

[@RezaDorrani]

I believe the modern SP calendar does not support recurring event logic. Might be a feature that would be supported in future.

[@nerdgal]

@@RezaDorrani I figured a work around and embedded the events calendar which has the recurring. It works but not as pretty aesthetically:/ a girl can dream!

[@hitasajil3869]

Hi Reza, Are Recurrence options missing??? what can be the solution??

[@RezaDorrani]

Missing

[@Bakasphotography]

when we add a calendar app and we in Month view, By default it shows from Sunday to Saturday. How do we make it show from Monday ?

[@RezaDorrani]

I believe it gets that from site settings. There is some feature there that controls it.

[@LauraLuisaRosenberg]

Hey, how can I get the Time and Date from a column thats a date and time column. I tried: "elmType": "span", "txtContent": "=toLocaleString([$StartDate]) + ' - ' + toLocaleString([$EndDate])" even if I used currentField, nothing get displayed. So I have a normal List with two date/time columns. I dont have an event list. Thank you

[@RezaDorrani]

I would have to try it out to know how this one works. Il recommend checking the docs.

[@LauraLuisaRosenberg]

thank you for the quick response ... I tried with the docs but so far I dont have any progress@@RezaDorrani

[@LauraLuisaRosenberg]

@@RezaDorrani , I figure out now. But I have now a different problem. I am struggling with changing the Columns. If I change it to my Title Column and a second one the color formatting is working. If I apply it to any other column the formatting is not working anymore. Dont get it. Does anyone had the same struggles?

[@RezaDorrani]

@@LauraLuisaRosenberg I have not faced any issues with it so not sure

[@keithb2684]

If my column names have spaces in them, how do I represent that column in JSON?

[@RezaDorrani]

I believe it takes internal names. Give the column internal name. Go to list settings, click on column, url will have the internal name

[@nzuraw]

Anyone know how to get an event to span across multiple days. I have some events that span 5 days, but only display on the last day

[@RezaDorrani]

Not sure about that

[@vijayak7871]

Can u please tell me how can they view category and location

[@RezaDorrani]

They can select the item to open the form and view the details

[@tomrwills]

It's a shame you cannot hide Saturday or Sunday. Seems like basic functionality that should be there.

[@RezaDorrani]

Hopefully, in fullness of time.
