What is Calendar Plus?

Calendar Plus is a plug-in for the Kintone platform which adds a fast and responsive, elegant and advanced calendar to your Kintone installation.  Schedule management is simple and intuitive, and the layout can be easily changed to display schedules by calendar month, week, day, or even by assigned color.  In addition to the Basic version which provides general calendar functionality, the Pro version has added support for managing and scheduling resources such as person in charge, conference/meeting rooms, vehicles, or any other custom resource.  Calendar Plus also supports linking with Kintone's Departments & Users (in Users & System Administration) to provide a complete schedule overview for the entire organization.

Calendar Plus Basic

[Fast and responsive general calendar functionality]
Use drag and drop to easily rearrange and share your schedule.

Calendar Plus Pro

Plug-in Setup Instructions

Step 1: Installing the Plug-in
After downloading the Calendar Plus Plug-in from the above link (calendarPlus_v15.3.zip), install it into your Kintone environment under the Other > Plug-ins option within the Kintone Administration panel.  For information on how to access your Kintone Administration panel to install a plug-in, please see these instructions.  Note that System Administrator privileges are required in order to install a Plug-in.

Step 2: Create the Application
Next, you will need to add a new application to your Kintone environment in order to use the Calendar Plus Plug-in.  The requirements for the application are as follows:

• Title Registration Field (Text field) [Required]
• Title Display Field (Text, Number, Lookup, Calculated, Radio button, or Drop-down field) [Optional]
  * Note that a separate Title Display Field is not required if you intend to use the Title Registration Field as the Title Display Field.
• Image Display Field (Attachment field) [Optional]
• Starting Date/Time Field (Date and Time, or Date field) [Required]
• Ending Date/Time Field (Date and Time, or Date field) [Required]
  
• All Day Field (Check box field with one option) [Required]
  * For example, create a check box field simply containing an "All day" option.
• Background Event Field (Check box field with one option) [Optional]
  * For example, create a check box field simply containing an "Background event" option.
• Share Access Setting Field (Radio button or Drop-down field) [Optional]
  * Please ensure a selection containing the value "Private" is added.
  * For records where this field is set to "Private", please also set the access privileges so that it can only be viewed, edited, or deleted by the creator.
• Color List Field (Radio button or Drop-down field) [Optional]
• Resource Selection Field (Radio button, Drop-down, Check box, Multi-choice, User selection, or Lookup field) [Required in Pro Version only]
  Please prepare the selection fields that contain values for the resources, such as conference/meeting rooms or vehicles.  For person in charge, please use a User selection field.
  By utilizing Lookup fields, it is also possible to maintain and manage the master data of all resources in a separate application.  The data fields in the separate application can then be used as resources within Calendar Plus.  When using a separate application, ensure that either the single line Text or Number field used for lookup has the "Prohibit duplicate values" option enabled.  Additionally, if a Radio button or Drop-down field is added in the separate application, the resources being displayed can optionally be switched/viewed based on the selection.
  
  
• In order to display the Calendar, add a Custom View inside the application settings.  Please use <div id="calendarPlus"></div> in the HTML Code text input box.  [Required]
  * To display Calendar Plus on mobile, select "Both Desktop and Mobile-optimized views" in "Use This View in".
  * Do not select "Enable pagination" as it is not required.

If setting up an application manually is too difficult, a sample application is available for download.  Feel free to download it and try it out with the Calendar Plus plug-in.

* The application template contains both "Calendar Plus Sample Application" and "Master Data" applications.  When using the Resource Scheduler and the Resource Selection Field is set to a Master Data lookup field, the records in the Master Data application are referenced as resources.
* For instructions on how to install and setup the sample applications in your Kintone environment, please see the following instructions.

• Importing App Templates from a File
• Creating a Template from an App

Step 3: Setting up the Plug-in

• After creating the application in step 2, add the Calendar Plus plug-in to the application via the [App Settings > Plug-ins] selection.  For further information on how to add a plug-in to an application, please see these instructions.
• After successfully adding the plug-in, a gear icon is now visible and can be used to setup Calendar Plus.

Notes

• If you see a "Failed to save processing" error message after clicking on the calendar to add a new event, please recheck that all required fields (except for the start/end date/time fields) have been set and their default values have been correctly populated.  Calendar Plus does not register any required values, which can lead to a save failure.
  
  
• Although the Title Registration Field only supports a single line Text field, it is also possible to select and specify a Lookup field whose lookup source is a single line Text field.  When using a Lookup field for the title in this manner, please note the following when clicking on the calendar to add new events:
  a) The lookup copy source field must have the "Prohibit duplicate values" option enabled.
  b) The string that exists in the lookup copy source must be entered exactly for the title.  (If a Lookup field is not required, not specifying a title is also allowed.)
  
  
• Because the Calendar Plus event display is linked with Kintone's standard filtering conditions, it is possible to set multiple customized views with different filtering criteria.  However, depending on the filtering conditions used, an event may sometimes not immediately appear in the calendar view after adding it by clicking on the calendar.  (For example, if the default color setting for new events is green and the filtering condition is set to display only red colored events, a new event that is registered with a green color will not be visible in the customized view even after directly adding the event due to the red filter.)  When clicking on the calendar to add new events, it is recommended to use a customized view without any filtering conditions.

For Advanced Users

• It is possible to set reminders based on calendar event start/end dates.  For further details, please see the "Configuring Reminder Notifications".  The sample application template has already been setup to notify the event creator one hour before the event start time.
  
  
• If a User selection field is set as a Resource Selection and multiple users are selected from within the Kintone edit screen for that field, Calendar Plus will display a single event as an event to all selected users.
  
  
• Adding a new event, changing an event's date or time by drag/drop, or deleting an event within Calendar Plus will trigger Kintone's Webhook function.  If you are considering linking with an external service such as Microsoft Flow, please feel free to make use of this functionality.  For details on Kintone's Webhook function, please refer to "Creating a Webhook in an App".
  
  
• Regardless of the local timezone of each user, events are always registered and displayed in the correct timezone of that user.  (For example, if a user in Japan adds an event at 9:00am, a different user in England will see the event as 0:00am.)  Note that this functionality is dependent on the device settings used to access the Kintone environment.  Please ensure that the Kintone user timezone and the device's timezone settings are correctly set.
  
  
• Users who do not have permission to view the "Display title" field in "Permissions for Fields" will be displayed as (No permission). If you want to limit the range to display the schedule details, please consider using "Permissions for Fields" for the "Display title" field.
