General Properties
Whether the component is added to an Experience Cloud or not, the following properties are always available:
Property | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
Calendar | Yes | The component will take its configuration from the selected calendar record. Only calendars of record type |
Max Height | Yes | The maximum height of the calendar in pixels. |
Lookup to Dimension | No | A lookup on the record that points towards the dimension you want to display. More info below. |
Child Dimensions to Display | No | A related list which contains dimensions you want to display. More info below. |

Additional Experience Cloud Properties
When added to an Experience Cloud, the following additional properties are available:
Property | Required | Description |

Record ID | Yes | The id of the record the component is located on. Enter |
Object Name | Yes | The object name of the current record. Enter |
Controlling what the calendar displays
You can use the two inputs Lookup to Dimension and Child Dimensions to Display to control what the calendar displays.
If both these inputs are empty, the calendar component will display all records belonging to the dimension of the selected calendar. This means that if the Staff calendar is selected, the component will display all Staff records that the user has access to.
If Lookup to Dimension is filled in on the component, the component will display the related record contained in that lookup. So for example if you place this component on a record page with a ‘Resource’ lookup, the calendar will display the resource that the current record is related to. If that happens to be a parent resource, such as a building with multiple meeting rooms, all those child meeting rooms will also be displayed.
Child Dimensions to Display is very similar to Lookup to Dimension, except instead of a related parent record, it lets you choose a list of child records to display. For example, if a custom object ‘Store’ has a lookup ‘Manager’, you can select the ‘Stores’ child list to display all the stores that a manager is related to.
Record Access and Filters
Records that the user does not have access to because of sharing rules, will never be displayed.
The user can narrow down which of the available records are being displayed by using the filter options on the calendar. As an admin you can control which filter options are available to users, described here: Calendar Filters.
If you want to narrow down even further which records are available for display, you can wrap the component inside your own, and pass your own filters to the component, explained here: Wrapping Calendar Components.
