View as Calendar

Databases that contain date and time fields have the option of being viewed in a calendar format.  This format makes it easier to view which records have been associated to certain days of the month.

To view a database in a calendar format, select the calendar icon that appears next to any date or date time field name.

Calendar icon appears to the left of the field name.

The database will be presented in a monthly calendar format.  The month displayed corresponds to the first entry in the date column.  Database records will appear as calendar entries.  If more that five entries appear on the same day, a "More..." link will be displayed.  Click the "More..." link to view all Database Records occurring on that particular day.

Viewing all monthly records

While displaying a database in its calendar format, it is also possible to filter and view all records for that month in a summary table.  To view the monthly list of records, select the drop-down icon in the grey box below the calendar.  The box will then expand to show a list of all records occurring for that particular month.
