You can use the Calendar widget to display events for one or more cases. By default, the Calendar widget displays due dates for quick tasks and target end dates for case stages. You can also configure the Calendar widget to display events from an internet calendar that uses the iCalendar file format, such as Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.

You can display the Calendar widget in Case Client by adding the Calendar widget to the Case Details page.

Tip: The Calendar widget is supported only on the Case Details page. If you add it to a different page, the widget does not show up at run time.

Alternatively, you can add the Show Calendar action to either the Case Toolbar widget or the Case List widget. This action displays the calendar in a dialog box even if you do not add the Calendar widget to a Case page.

If you add the Calendar widget to a page, you can configure the settings to display the calendar in either a small-style or large-style format. Both styles provide visual cues to the user to indicate any events that occur on a day. If a case worker clicks a date in the small-style calendar, IBM® Business Automation Workflow opens a dialog box with the large-style calendar in day view.

You can subscribe to internet calendars to display events from these calendars in case calendars. In Case Builder, you can configure these subscriptions in the Calendar widget settings for each case type. The events from the internet calendars then display in the calendars for all cases of the specified case type. The URL you enter for a calendar subscription must use a valid iCalendar (.ics) file format.

For the large-style calendar and the calendar that is displayed in the dialog box, case workers can select the Manage calendar subscriptions option in Case Client to subscribe to other internet calendars. These subscriptions apply only to the specific case where they are configured.
