Microsoft Lists - Calendar View
- The calendar view hasn't been rolled out yet but it is definitely in the works!
Mike Dumka @Susan Hanley We have the ability to create a Calendar view now. The "Create New View" option shows up in Lists, but not when viewing the list in SharePoint or Teams. Once created, the calendar itself can be viewed in Lists and SharePoint, but not in Teams (it shows as a list...not a calendar). I made a "website" tab in our Teams channel as a workaround that allows us to view the calendar, but if you click on a calendar entry the details view then shows the SharePoint comments instead of our Teams comments about that entry. That's unfortunate. Hoping Lists in Teams gets updated so it can also show the calendar view and that the details view shows the Teams comments. Also hope they build in a way to do some conditional formatting to change colors of the calendar entries instead of having every calendar entry the identical style.
Mike Dumka - I have been referencing the same video, same timestamp - as the feature we need.
I am currently seeing the same as msullivan-csulb in our Education Tenant - disappointed the views do not transfer to Teams.
The image attached from the Lists Roadmap clearly shows us colour categories in the Calendar View...
I think the marketing department are ahead of the development team - again...- Chris_Laycock the calendar view is activated now in our Teams (Education). Definitely hope they build in the ability to color categorize like in the video screenshot. When Teams was showing the calendar as a list it had three columns: start date, end date, and title of items. I was able to add/show a bunch of extra columns in the broken view so now that it is displaying as a calendar I have the ability to filter the calendar by those columns (for example filter by assigned person, category, market segment columns). Lost access to add more columns to this calendar view once it started showing as an actual calendar. Hopefully they build that “filter” ability in as well as the color categorization.
Chris_Laycock Two months later and I'm also wondering why I can't colour-code items in Calendar view. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if it's just not there at all...
ditto AlexH980 - all items in my Calendar View retain the initial list theme colour... a sea of magenta on my Lists ;-(
