Calendar

Shows the dates on a page, or the events in a saved Capable calendar, as a calendar in one of five views. Events appear as coloured cards with the title in bold, an avatar stack of the people involved, and a split or check icon for decision and task items. Point at a card to see its details.


#Settings

The macro's settings sit on two tabs. Content decides what the calendar shows and where it opens. Style looks after the frame around it.

#Content tab

Calendar macro Content tab with a saved calendar chosen as the Source, Event editing switched on and a May month grid showing two events
Pick a saved calendar under Source and the Event editing switch appears just below it. The preview on the left updates as you go.

Setting

Values

What it changes

Source

A saved Capable calendar (from a space or global), or unset

Leave it unset to show the dates already on this page, or pick a saved calendar. The picker also offers Create new calendar.

Event editing

On / off

Lets readers create and edit events from the macro. It only appears once a saved calendar is selected, and clearing the calendar switches it back off.

View

Day, Week, Month, Year, Agenda

The view the calendar opens in. Day and Week lay events out hour by hour, Month is a grid of days, Year is a twelve-month overview, and Agenda lists a week of events in date order.

Start on

Last event, Today, Custom

Which period the calendar opens on. Last event opens on the most recent event, or the next upcoming one if none have passed. Today always opens on today's date, even when the nearest events are months away. Custom opens on the Start date you choose.

Start date

A date

Only used when Start on is Custom, and the date picker only appears once you choose Custom. It must be a complete, real date. It's treated as a local date, so the calendar won't open a day early in timezones west of Greenwich.

Always show all events

On / off

Shows every event on a busy day instead of collapsing the extras into a popover. When it's off, busy days show a +N more link.

Colours

By user, By type, None

How events are colour-coded on the grid. An event's own colour, or the colour of a matching calendar tag, always wins over this setting. In order: the event's own colour first, then the colour of its highest-priority matching tag, then this setting.

Height

400 to 1000 px, in steps of 50

The height of the calendar grid. A saved value outside this range is treated as 400 or 1000, whichever is nearer.

Event types

Capable Event macros, Confluence Date macros, In-Calendar Events

Which sources of dates are drawn. The first two are macros inserted on pages. In-Calendar Events are events created in a saved Capable calendar. With none selected, all of them show.

Hidden on-page events

Dates found on this page, picked by clicking them

Leaves the dates you pick off the grid. Only affects dates found on the current page.

Events section of the Content tab with chips for Capable Event macros, Confluence Date macros and In Calendar Events, above the picker for hiding dates
Event types and Hidden on-page events sit further down the Content tab. Click a chip to choose which sources of dates are drawn.

#Style tab

Calendar macro Style tab with Border on, a 4 px width, an orange border colour and a small shadow framing an October month grid
Turn Border on to choose its width and colour. Here a 4 px orange outline frames the preview.

Setting

Values

What it changes

Corner radius

0 to 24 px

Rounds the corners of the calendar's outer frame. You'll only see it once a border or shadow is on.

Shadow

None, S, M, L

Adds a drop shadow around the calendar. None keeps the original frameless look.

Border

On / off, plus a width from 0 to 6 px and a colour

Draws an outline around the calendar. Width and colour only appear once Border is on.

Highlight colour

A brand colour or a custom hex colour, or unset

Tints today and selected dates. Leave it unset to use the theme accent. Your event colours aren't affected.

#Fixed options

These two have only one value, so there's nothing to choose.

Setting

Values

What it changes

Display

Dates on this page (the only value)

Not something you can set in the editor.

Participant avatars

Show users (the only value)

Controls whether participant avatars appear on event cards.



One macro, documented properly.
