Calendar Dimension Sorting
If you have custom calendars, you might want to sort your Dimension Objects. For example: on a Resource calendar, sort by Rating. To do this, you can create one or more Calendar Dimension Sortings, and sort based on the value of a field which is related to the calendar you want to sort objects on.
Step-by-step guide
Make sure you add the Calendar Dimension Sorting related list to the Multi Calendar page layout
Create the field on the Dimension object that you want to use for sorting. This could for example be a Rating field on a Resource Dimension
From the calendar record, create a new Calendar Dimension Sorting from the Calendar Dimension Sorting related list, using the fields specified in the next section
Creating more than one grouping on a calendar will expose a dropdown next to the Filter buttons on the calendar, allowing you to choose which sorting to use.
Calendar Dimension Sorting fields
Field name | description |
---|---|
Name | The API Name of the field on the Dimension object that the object should be sorted by |
Label | The label users should see in the dropdown where they can select which sorting to use. Leave blank for the label of the field. |
Calendar | The calendar this sorting belongs to |
Default | Define if this sorting should be selected by Default. If no Default is specified, the first selected sorting is random but deterministic |
Sort Direction | The direction in which to sort the objects by |
If no Calendar Dimension Sorting are configured in the Calendar Dimension Sorting related list, the default behavior of sorting by B25__Order__c (1) and alphabetically in ascending order (2) will be used.
Example
The Resource calendar sorted alphabetically in descending order with the sorting dropdown open.
