Using the SharePoint Calendar Widget

SharePoint Calendar Widget - Large View


The SharePoint Calendar widget is designed to present a specific SharePoint calendar in Jive. The SharePoint Calendar widget can display a month view, week view, or day view. It will also show individual event title and timeframe, along with a link back to the physical appointment/calendar item in SharePoint.
SharePoint Calendar Widget - Small View


The SharePoint Calendar widget will dynamically change to a day view to conserve space on the screen. This happens automatically based on available screen space for the current Jive page layout and does not require user configuration.
SharePoint Calendar Widget Configuration


The configuration for the SharePoint Calendar widget requires several pieces of information to find and surface a SharePoint calendar.
  1. Custom Title (Optional) - This represents the value to display above the SharePoint Calendar widget.
  2. Site Name - Keep this blank for a calendar in the site associated directly with this Jive place. Enter the name of a sub-site if the calendar is located in a sub-site to the associated SharePoint site.
  3. Name of Calendar - Name of the Calendar list in SharePoint (typically, this will be "Calendar") for the "socialized" site.
    Note: The Name of Calendar field is case sensitive. Please ensure the value you provide matches SharePoint.
  4. View Name - Keep this blank unless you want to filter the contents of the calendar to contain a subset of the calendar entries in which case you would enter the name of the SharePoint view configured on the calendar that filters the contents.
