    Do you have a list of the COE URL parameters?  Eg, for Day Range, etc?

    Thanks.

    Hi Maggie,

    The reason I asked is that I was trying to append &dateid=0;7 to get events for the next 7 days and it does not seem to be working.  Do you have an example of the dateid syntax?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Try using a pipe instead:

    &dateid=0|7

    Thanks,

    Can this only be filtered by anchor venue?  Not space?  Is there an OSB version of this?

    Thanks,

    Hi Michelle,

    The closest v30 functionality is Event List Configurations. At present, an Event List Configuration can only filter to display events by venue space rather than attempting to address all potentially booked spaces on the event.

    Hi Sam,

    By "venue space" mean the venue field on a space, right?  So after upgrading to 30.99 there is no longer the ability to have a public calendar (or list) that is filtered by space?

    Hi Michelle,

    What is your objective or desired outcome? Can you describe how the desired configuration would be used?

    In the context of Event List Configurations, the only space related field refers to the event Anchor Venue field (and the space selected in that field). The Event List Configurations do not have settings related to attributes that are set on individual spaces - all options are based upon event-level data.

    In 30.99 you can utilize the Anchor Venue as both a filter to control the events that display in the event list, and you can enable it as a filter for the users accessing the page online. These are separate settings within the configuration. Neither is a required field. So if desired, you can configure an event list to display all events regardless of Anchor Venue, and then allow the user to filter by the Anchor Venue of their choice.

    Event Lists have a List or Column option for display. They do not currently allow for a calendar type of display. OSB does offer a calendar display option, but it is built into the availability search functionality that OSB provides as opposed to being a standalone calendar.

    Hi Sam,

    We used to use the iEBMS Venue Availability (VA) to provide links to folks who needed to know what was happening in just one space without giving them access to the backend of the database.  I was thinking that the Calendar of Events (COE) would be able to do that for folks.  But, an anchor space filter wouldn't work because there are a lot of other spaces that use the anchor space.
