Calendar settings
Calendar is configured from the shared Capable settings surfaces rather than a tab of its own in every case. This is the complete list.
#Every setting
Setting | Level | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Calendar subscriptions | Site-wide | "Let users subscribe to Capable calendars from Google, Apple, or Outlook via a personal iCal feed. Turn off to disable subscriptions for all users." Only appears when the installed app includes the Calendar capability. T |

Calendar capability visibility | Per space | Auto shows the byline where relevant. In the Suite that means only on pages Capable has already indexed as carrying dates. Always forces Calendar on for the space; Never hides it there. This is the generic per-capability |
Hide the Calendar capability site-wide | Site-wide | Removes Calendar across the whole site. Suite only. The standalone Capable Calendar app has no Capabilities tab, even though its byline still reads the same setting. |
Indexing tab | Site-wide | Where an administrator triggers or inspects content indexing. Indexing itself runs in both products; only the admin tab differs. |
Calendar Name | Per calendar | The calendar's title. Two calendars in the same container cannot share a title. |
Description | Per calendar | Descriptive text shown with the calendar. |
Calendar View | Per calendar | The view the calendar opens in. |
Base Timezone | Per calendar | "Set the timezone by which events are co-ordinated. Note that events are shown in the timezone of the user viewing the calendar." In practice it pre-fills the event create/edit form only. The grid always draws events in |
In-calendar Events | Per calendar | "Show in-calendar user made events". The events people create and save inside this calendar. |
Native page dates | Per calendar | "Show events from date macros on pages". Confluence's own date chips scraped off the calendar's source pages. |
Capable Events | Per calendar | "Show events from event macros on pages". Capable Event macro instances on the calendar's source pages. |
Recently viewed | Per calendar | "Get events from recently viewed pages". The 25 most recently viewed pages. Per-viewer, so it produces nothing for an anonymous reader. |
Pages where mentioned | Per calendar | "Get events from pages where you are mentioned", capped at 100 pages. Per-viewer, so it produces nothing for an anonymous reader. |
Specific pages | Per calendar | "Get events from specific pages (max 25)". The picker disables itself and shows "Limit reached" at 25. |
Pages from search | Per calendar | "Search for pages to include". Every page the search returns is scanned for dates. Filters and limit are disabled until the toggle is on. |
Result Limit | Per calendar | How many pages the search source returns and therefore scans for dates. |
Start on | Per calendar and per macro | Which period the calendar opens on. My Calendar and the homepage widget never jump, regardless of this setting. |
Start date | Per calendar and per macro | Only read when Start on is Custom. |
Always show all events | Per calendar | Shows every event on a busy day instead of collapsing extras into a "+N more" popover. |
Hide weekends | Per calendar | Removes Saturday and Sunday columns from week and month views. |
Week start day | Per calendar | First column of week and month grids. Cannot be set on the macro. Only on a saved calendar. |
Show users | Per calendar | Whether participant avatars appear on event cards. |
Page titles | Per calendar | Whether the source page's title is shown on event cards. This option exists only on saved calendars, not on the macro. |
Color Scheme | Per calendar | How events are colour-coded. "By Page" is selectable here but not on the Calendar macro. |
Tags | Per calendar | A matching tag's colour overrides the calendar's colour scheme for that event. Tags also become the categories in an iCal feed. |
My Calendar sources | Per user | Builds a private overlay view. Saving more than 5 sources is rejected. |
#A few things worth knowing
Settings changes can take a minute to reach other people.
Hiding a capability removes it from the navigation; macros already on pages keep rendering.
Some settings are per space and need only a space administrator.
