Prevent users from dragging reservations to a resource. You can still change the reservation's time. Currently only supported on multi calendars.

When checked, reservations of types not linked to the Calendar will also be visible on the calendar. For linking Reservation Types to Calendars see: Reservation Types

Enabling this setting will display reservations at the time they occur for the user viewing the calendar, instead of the local time.

If more than this number of reservations overlap on the calendar, they will be grouped into a single block that can be expanded.

When enabled the calendar will load and process availabilities based on the time range in view. If disabled the calendar will load all availabilities.

When enabled this feature allows for selecting multiple resources. To select a range, hold SHIFT and drag, or to select multiple resources individually, hold CTRL/CMD and click. To specify what happens when multiple selections are made see Multi Selection Type.

Specifies what happens when multiple selections are made.

• Reservations: multiple reservations: Opens the reservation form with multiple independent reservations.

• Parent Child Reservations: Opens the reservation form with multiple reservations treating the first selection as the parent and the rest as child reservations.

• Junctions: one reservation with multiple junctions: Opens the reservation form as normal but instead of filling in a field it will add all selected dimensions as junction records. (requires a dimension junction to be configured)

Resource Titles let you show information on each resource (or other dimension) on the calendar: Show fields on calendar resources

Calendar Views link views to calendars, making them available to your users. See the Calendar Views section below.

Filterable Fields let you predefine which filters apply to the resources (or other dimensions) being shown on the VisualForce multi-calendar. More info can be found here: Configure Filterable Fields

Note that the new Lightning calendars have a different way to define filters, as described here: Calendar Filters

Reservation Colors let you define the appearance of reservations based on their status or type: Reservation Colors

Reservation Display Contexts define which fields to show on reservations and their hover popups. More info here: Customise the Reservation fields shown on the calendar and hovers

Note that ‘Calendar’ is an optional lookup for Reservation Display Contexts. so it is normal for this related list to be empty.

Calendar Reservation Types make reservations of specific types visible on a calendar. These records are created automatically when you create a new Calendar or Reservation Type. For more info: Reservation Types

Dynamic Grouping Fields let you display a hierarchical structure for the resources (or other dimensions) being displayed on the calendar. For more info: Dynamic Dimension Grouping

The name of the record in Salesforce.

The button text to display on the calendar.

The time interval between each vertical line. Examples: 00:05 = 5 minutes, 24:00 = one day, 7.00:00 = one week.

The time interval when dragging an existing reservation on the calendar. Examples: 00:05 = 5 minutes.

The text that is displayed in the label of each time column. You can use the following formats: Date & Time Format Tokens

The width of each cell in pixels.

The duration of the view. Examples: 24:00 = one day, 7.00:00 = one week, 30.00:00 = one month. Special values: Year, Month, Week, Workweek.

Enter a hexadecimal or CSS color code to highlight weekends. Leave blank for no highlighting.

Used to uniquely identify this view, even if it has the same label as another view. May not contain special characters, and may not start with a number.

This setting has been deprecated and replaced by the Column Hiding Behavior picklist.

This picklist controls which columns to hide. See Column Hiding Behavior for all the options.

If this is checked, events shorter than a cell will be expanded to fill the entire cell. These events will get a duration bar to indicate their actual times.

When using the settings “Expand Events To Fill Cell”, you can use this setting to hide the duration bar which indicates the actual duration of the reservation.

When enabled, cells that are only partially available will have their unavailable parts grayed out. Consider disabling this feature for performance reasons if your calendar displays a lot of cells.

When enabled, and the user selects a cell to create a new Reservation, only the available part of the cell will be selected.

The format for the time range at the top of the calendar. It is possible to specify formats for the start and end date of the calendar. Using start{<formatting tokens>} and end{<formatting tokens>} for the formatting tokens use moment.js formatting tokens (http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/ ). example: start{ddd MMM DD} - end{ddd MMM DD, YYYY} would result in Sat Sep 01 - Mon Oct 01, 2018

Allows reservations to overlap on the calendar. Accepts a percentage value. By default set to 0, meaning reservations occupy the full height without overlapping. Using a higher percentage will create partial overlaps. Negative percentages will add space between reservations.

Allows you to hide the red line indicating the current time. On the multi calendar you can then use the time headers to highlight the current time there instead.

Disables rendering the reservations when scrolling, this allows you to render them all up front, improves scrolling behaviour but has an impact on performance.
