Ultimate Forms: Calendar

If you are keen on employing an eye-catching and intuitive solution when managing advanced events, you might be interested to know that a Microsoft SharePoint add-on such as Ultimate Forms: Calendar could pack precisely the tools you are looking for.

Being able to connect to data sources such as Microsoft Exchange calendars, SharePoint lists, as well as custom databases, Event Calendar Plus enables you to set a different color for each of them.

As such, you should be able to implement color-coded categories for events, which means they are dependent on the preset category field and its associated color. While you can select any lookup or choice column in SharePoint lists as a category, things are a little different in the case of databases, where you can opt for any text column.

It is also worth pointing out that the SharePoint add-on packs a series of filters you could resort to in order to organize events by category, which can be done by inspecting the drop-down menu just above the web section.

Moreover, coming up with your own event title patterns is possible, as is the case of creating new events in the data source directly.

Last but not least, you may also want to know that a wide array of views can be explored, including compact, day / week / month, quarter, half-year, year, and Gantt.
