I am creating a dashboard consisting of a report in calendar view. I want to change the color of the bullet points according to the date which is blue by default. If the date of the task is before today's date, then I want to change it to red. If task is due date is today then, yellow. If the date is in future, I want to make it green. Is it possible to do so in Decisions? If so, can you please guide me how to do so?

Hi,

I have attached a sample project displaying this behavior.


This is possible with the use of a color flow. More information on how to set this up can be found here - https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/color-flow-behavior.

I have attached an example project that should help in setting this up. Within the color flow we use a truth table to determine if dates are less than, greater than, or equal to the current date. From the truth table we output the ColorDetails type to output the color for the bullet points.


Please Note: The examples attached were developed to be instructional, and were not developed as officially supported components. For more information or to engage our service team to develop fully supported, production quality solutions, please contact: services@decisions.com

Hello,

Am I assuming correctly that you want a calendar view that looks like the example you provided where users can drill down into each date?

If so, there is unfortunately no native way for to customize the calendar view in this way in current versions of Decisions. It should be possible, however, to create a custom Java Script page control that could do this.

For additional information please see our documentation on creating and loading custom JS controls for Decisions here and here.

Hello,

We outline how to set up the calendar view for reports in our documentation here, but to recap a calendar view is added under the "Views" section of the report designer.



From here the displayed contents of each calendar item can be customized by editing the text merge for the calendar view in the report editor.

When the report it run, clicking on a date in the calendar view will drill down into a report of all of the items for the specific date, like this:



Please let me know if you have any additional questions about this.

Hello,

We can do this by editing the date that the report is using as it's Primary Calendar Provider. We can then build an action that changes that date. We can use a selective update step that will only update the fields you want. In your case it would be the date that is used as the Primary Calendar Provider.

Hi Kartikay

Having a SelectiveUpdate/Save entity step in the User Action Flow should update the value for the date and make the entity visible in the Calendar view. Let us know if this doesn't resolve your issue.

I am unsure if this is possible on a calendar in this format. I believe this one is more suitable for printable calendars. If you could add the option, each person should write each text in a box and the box color to change however you like depending on the event type or how much attention you need to give. I use https://www.123calendars.com/april-calendar.html to print a calendar each month and organize my events by color. This way, I can understand if they are family events, work events, etc.
