# Working with other capabilities

Most of what makes Calendar worth having in the suite comes from what sits next to it. This page is the summary; each connection has its own page with the detail.

Where a connection does not exist, it is listed as such rather than left out, so you can stop looking.

## Every connection

| **Connects to**                             | **What you get**                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Capable Search                              | A "Dates" column (a count pill of dates found on each result page) and a "Calendar" side panel subtitled "View dates from the page", badged with the number of dates found. Ships in both products.                                   |
| Confluence homepage feed                    | A card titled "Calendar", described as "See the latest updates from your calendar", shown only to signed-in users. Read-only agenda list; double-click navigates to the source page.                                                  |
| Capable Dashboard                           | A resizable widget named "Calendar", helper text "View upcoming dates from pages", combining recently-viewed pages, pages you are mentioned on, and the indexed date range. This is the only surface that uses the date search index. |
| Confluence CQL search                       | Three search fields backed by the date index: "Capable Date Start", "Capable Date End" and "Capable Date Users".                                                                                                                      |
| Capable Sites                               | All three macros export to a static site. Calendar mounts a working grid from a generated events file plus a downloadable .ics; Event renders an inline pill plus an .ics button; Clock ticks in the visitor's browser.               |
| Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook | One-way, read-only subscription by personal iCal feed link, with one-click hand-off buttons for each.                                                                                                                                 |
| External .ics files                         | One-way import into a saved calendar from the calendar catalogue.                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Capable Approval                            | None. Approval review and expiry dates do not appear on calendars, and calendar events do not drive approvals.                                                                                                                        |
| Jira                                        | None released. See notShipped.                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Org brand themes                            | None. Applying a brand theme does not restyle the Calendar, Clock or Event macro. Only the manual Style tab values take effect.                                                                                                       |
| PDF and Word export                         | None. Exporting a page containing any of the three macros produces a warning panel reading "PDF exports are currently not supported for <macro title>".                                                                               |

## A few things worth knowing

* A connection needs both halves installed. In a standalone app most of these do not exist.
* Anything that depends on search only reflects pages that have been indexed.
* Published sites render Capable macros properly, which is where several of these pay off.
