Read Only

Virto Calendar allows users to select **“SharePoint List Web Service”** as a data source. The data source is read-only and is used to view events from other SharePoint farms.

Go to the data source settings and create a new data source. You need to define the data as follows:

- Site URL
- Authentication type
- Login data (if the **“Authenticate as currently logged on user”** checkbox is not selected)

Click **“Test connection.”** If the data is correct and the connection is set, select the required list from the dropdown menu and define the displayed column and date/time fields. Click **“Save”** to save the new data source.
