Sharepoint - Calendar
I have a Sharepoint list with training dates however I want this to display as a calendar view what is the best way to achieve this?
- Untechsavy I would suggest the easiest way to do this based on the list you already have would be to create a calendar view from your list. You'll either need to use the created/modified dates as your start & end times for your calendar items otherwise you'll need to create new columns to support those values as they are required to populate the calendar. Here's a great run through of how to create a calendar view: https://stevenanichols.com/2015/05/15/sharepoint-calendar-views-3/

Untechsavy a very easy way to do this is to use the new Calendar View function in Microsoft Lists. Under the pull-down menu for All Items, select "create new view."
A pop-up box appears where you simply name your new view, click on the calendar button, then click Create.
That's all! This is a newly released function so you may not have it yet--but you will soon. Here's a video to walk you through the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTV3lNC-EVg&ab_channel=FCTech
- Agree with this but there are some elements of functionality with Lists calender views that aren't available as with SharePoint lists (colour filtered overlays being one), but either option works!
