Creating Calendar Feeds

You can create calendar feeds that show items in a calendar format based on data in Date/Time fields, such as a Due Date field. You can add calendar feeds that display SBM work items or read-only external items, depending on the type of feed you add:

• Calendar Feed

  Calendar feeds are based on single applications or auxiliary tables, but you can add multiple calendar feeds to a global or application view. This enables you to clearly see date-based information for items across multiple application contexts.

  Use feed criteria to filter items shown in the calendar as needed. (Data returned by feeds is dependent on each user's privileges to view and work with items.)

• Calendar External Data Feed

  External data feeds enable you to display external items from a third-party using a REST data source. (The REST data source is configured by a designer using SBM Composer and deployed to SBM runtime by an administrator).

You can display a combination of items from both types of feeds on one calendar view. This enables you to create a powerful calendar view that can display calendar items from several sources in addition to work items from SBM.
