Calendar customization
I have a requirement to display a calendar UI where depending on the current date, customization is needed to:
- Display four weeks in Calendar UI based on date and time starting from a Monday through to Saturday.
Ex: If current date is 8/20/2015, we should display 4 weeks for the user starting the Monday (which is already passed) of the current week i.e from
8/17/2015 to 9/12/2015
- Calendar should display in weekly segments, where first two weeks of data is expanded, the next two weeks are collapsed (overlapping of months is necessary).
See attached snapshot of requirement, Client Calendar.
Thanks for all feedback and help.

Hi Bee,
I took a look at it and I really don't think there's any way to easily achieve what you are trying to do using the OOTB calendar gadget. I see that the configuration options allow you to define a custom style sheet to associate with the calendar, so maybe there's a way to leverage that?
But I'm probably telling you something you already know. Maybe someone else in the community has a tip for building a custom one. I know from past experience though that implementing a calendar UI is a lot trickier than it would seem on the surface.
My initial recommendation would be to work with the standard OOTB functionality. At the least, I could submit an enhancement request on your behalf to potentially be considered for a future release.
Thanks.

Thanks Brendan, a enhancement request for future release would be a plus for anyone with similar requirements.
I'm still researching different methods to see which provides the best solution.
Thanks
Hi Nick
We built a calendar kind of UI in PMF by leveraging DHTMLX components Event Calendar Demo - dhtmlxScheduler
The calendar UI was rendered using the custom JS library of DHTMLX (separately licensed) and backend was setup using data pages.
Hope this helps.

Hi Amit,
We have a requirement to display the Schedule Appointments in Pega Dashboard.
Can we import the DHTML Component in Pega Screen? Also whether the new appointment scheduled and saved will be selected updated to users Outlook Calendar?
Thanks,

Hi Vadivel,
Yes you can include the DHTML component in pega screen.
Create a custom HTML and include the component there..
There is no direct link with person's outlook calendar.
I think that it will be possible to update by customizing the update action. You can invoke a flow action and in post processing handle updating the outlook part
