Calendar administration tasks

Before users can use the calendar, administrators must set up the following configurations.

  • Enable or disable the calendar

    Enable or disable the HPE Service Manager calendar.

  • Configure calendar settings

    Configure the settings of the calendar, such as the objects (for example, Change and Incident) that can be mapped with time periods, and the maximum number of records returned in each calendar object query or calendar time period query.

  • Display records from an application module in the calendar

    Define a mapping record for the Time Period object, and for each object mapped with it. Each mapping record defines a field mapping between the object and Time Period, and determines how the calendar displays records of the object.

  • Display an embedded calendar on an incident form, an interaction form, or a problem form

    Display an embedded calendar on an incident form, an interaction form, or a problem form.

  • Configure search filters for the full calendar

    Configure a single filter mapping record for the full calendar and the embedded calendar.

    For the full calendar, specify some fields of the specified objects as filter fields so that users can create filtered views of the full calendar. For the embedded calendar, define filters for the specified objects so that the embedded calendar automatically displays different filtered views in different records.

  • Localize a filter field

    Create localized versions of the field labels if the environment needs to support multiple languages.

  • Test your calendar

    Test the calendar to see if it works properly.
