page_calendar_rolling|asset|5.5.0.0

The Rolling Calendar Page allows you to show a list of events for a period of time. This time will keep moving forward as time passes by. For example, you can create a Rolling Calendar Page that shows the events for the next seven days. If today was the 1^st December, the page will show the events for the 1^st December through to the 7^th December. On the 2^nd December it will show the events for the 2^nd December through to the 8^th December. These events can either be individual one-off events (know as Single Calendar Event), periodically recurring events (know as Recurring Calendar Event) or a combination of both (know as Multi-Date Calendar Event).

Adding a Rolling Calendar Page

When you add a new Rolling Calendar Page, the Create new Rolling Calendar Page screen will appear. The Details section of this screen is shown in the figure below.

The Create new Rolling Calendar Page screen

Once you have entered the required information, click Commit. The Rolling Calendar Page will appear in the Asset Map on the left hand side of the screen. You can configure the settings of the Rolling Calendar Page on its associated asset screens.
