Appearance

This screen contains options for configuring the appearance of your Connect Daily calendar system.

Show Only Approved Events

By default, events that are not approved will show on the calendar. Setting this option to Yes will show only events that have been approved.

Default Page on Login

This option lets you set the first page that Users will see after logging in. The two choices are the calendar or the welcome page. The calendar page will use the User's individual preference to select which calendar view to display.

Style Sheet

This is the name of the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) Connect Daily should use. The cascading style sheet controls the appearance of the calendars including the fonts and colors displayed. If you wish to customize it, copy the existing style sheet or go to the Change Colors option on the Welcome screen and modify it to suit your needs. If a custom header is used, remember that the style sheet callout is in the custom header file.

Print Style Sheet

This style sheet controls the appearance of Connect Daily when you print calendars. By editing this sheet, you can adjust the point size of events when they print. Refer to Printing Issues for additional information.

Default Header File & Default Footer File

These values control the default header and footer file used when viewing a calendar. They will only be used when viewing calendars while not logged in.

Item Styles Are Linked to Event Types.

If this option is set to Yes, then colorization of events is tied to the Event Type. You would specify the style for the Event Type on the Edit Event Type screen. If this option is set to No, then you can set the Item Style independently of the Event Type.

Automatically Generate a Legend for Item Style/Types.

If this option is set to Yes, then a Legend of Item Styles will be generated and appear below the calendar.

For Mini-calendars, Highlight Days with Events.

If you set this option to Yes, then the mini-month calendars displayed on the Day View, Week View, and Year View will have dates that contain events highlighted..

Hide Saturday & Sunday

Turning this on will change the calendar from a normal 7 days per week view, to a 5 days per week view, showing only the weekdays.

Site Help Path

This is the path to a directory that contains your Site-specific Help files. This should be an absolute path and you should ensure that the User of the calendar has at least READ permissions to the directory. For additional information on how this feature works, refer to Site Help.

Show Approvals Menu Pad only for Approvers?

If this option is set to Yes, the approve items and approve resources menu options will only be displayed to those people who are Approvers of resources or calendar events.

Null Search String Returns Results?

By default, if a User clicks on the search button without entering search strings no results are returned. Setting this option will cause results to be returned even if no search words were specified.
