Hi John

I have changed the settings for quite a lot of Events to "don't show on Calendar" however, the items are still all showing on the calendar?

As you say in your documentation its self-explanatory, but its not doing what I thought it will do.

I have attached a screen shot. Am I getting this wrong or do I need to make any changes to settings anywhere else?

Thanks
Regine

Hey Regine,

I think we may have missed the step that actually omits these in some builds. In the script "Find Events by Date Range" you should find a comment toward the end that says "Omit those set not to show on calendar". The following step should perform a constrain found set command, omitting where....

CalendarEvents::z_DontShowOnCalendar equals 1

...like the screen shot below.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi John

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay. I was on holidays in June and only just get a chance to look at it now.

The step was missing completely in my script, however if I add it, it still doesn't work.
Attached a screen shot of the script step I added as well as some events (2 events with tick, 2 without ticks) and the calendar view after pressing Refresh.

It still shows all events regardless of the tick in "don't show on calendar".
If I change the Action to "Find" instead of "Omit" all events disappear from the calendar.
I can't make any sense out of it.

Any idea why it is not working or what else I need to change?

Also I am wondering if this is related:
When I tick the box "Don't show on calendar" in the Process & Milestone Templates it then doesn't add dates to the events when they are automatically added through change of the status.
I thought the dates are still added, its just not shown on the calendar.
I tried to find it in the scripts, but can't identify, where it set/removes the date.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I have not worked on the calendar scripts/programming at all, so it should be all like the original programming was.

Thanking you in advance.

Kind regards

Hi Regine,

I think the way you have the find set up is not quite right. You don't need the equal sign with a number, so you can just put a "1" rather than "= 1"

We use the "=" when we're trying to match a whole word, and in that case you want to make sure there's no space between the "=" and the value you're searching for. "=1" should work(no space), but is no better than "1"

hth,
Jason

Hi Jason

Thanks for your response.

Removing the equal sign has done the trick and it works fine now.

Any suggestions for the second part:
"When I tick the box "Don't show on calendar" in the Process & Milestone Templates it then doesn't add dates to the events when they are automatically added through change of the status.
I thought the dates are still added, its just not shown on the calendar.

Thanking you in advance.

Kind regards

Hi Regine,

Glad that worked!

Sorry, that didn't quite sink in before

We do have it set up that way by design, and it is a bit tricky to figure out where it's happening. The script:

Apply Process Template ( TemplateID , ProjectID , ProjectName ) { Number , AvoidWeekends }

Is calling the script:

Create Edit Delete Event ( SourceNo ) { Operation , Hide, DateStart , DateEnd , TimeStart ... }

at the bottom. The parameter used when calling this script needs to be adjusted as below, so we assign the date even if the box is checked:



That should do it, but let me know.

Thanks Jason, I have found it and changed it. Its sometimes quit difficult to find a certain action in the kilometer long scripts.

Kind regards
