Calendar rollup

Use this block to display events from one or more calendars. Note that the calendars are based on Outlook or Exchange, it’s not SharePoint calendars.

Note! In Omnia on-prem, only personal calendars are supported.

Note that a calendar rollup block can be targeted, see the common layout options: General block settings

The user experience

Targeting and color for each calendar

Each calendar displayed in the block can be targeted and can be shown with a different color. These settings are available when you expand a calendar:

../../_images/expand-calendar-new.png ../../_images/expand-calendar-expanded-new.png

To select another color, open the list. You can select any of the pre defined colors, or add a custom one.

Targeting a calendar works the same way as in many other parts of Omnia. See this page for more information: Using targeting

You can always target the whole calendar rollup block as an alternative, if calendars should be shown for some and no calendars for others. See the link above.
