General settings

In this section of the guide, you can find details about the “General settings” tab.

In the “General settings” tab you can change the calendar name and add a data source (from an existing data source or by creating a new one).

Data sources and basic options

You can also enable the "Add event status to title" option, use the client's time zone, and select the fields displayed for various views (week, month, etc.).

Filter Exchange events

You can filter Exchange events by status or display all of them.

Internet calendars

In the "General settings" tab, you can add ICS calendars from the internet by pasting in the iCal URL.

Common categories

If you have too many color-coded categories, you can unify them for better visualization. See the detailed description of this option in the “Unify Categories” section. If you only want to display events in a particular category, check the box “Show events of these categories only.”

Location field

Virto Calendar Overlay supports adding locations from an available list. To choose a location for your calendar entry, simply select it from the list in the event settings. This option also saves the location field for Outlook entries.

Default calendar view

Define the default calendar view, which is displayed when you navigate to the SharePoint site page where the calendar is added.

Other options

You can use the general settings to decide whether to display the data source legend, set the tooltip width, choose the views to display, and more.

Remember to save the changed settings by clicking “Save” before closing the settings.
