Calendar Filtering by User
OfflineIs it possible for users to filter the calendar based on the channels?
For example if we have a channel for finance events, one for HR events, one for all employee events, etc - can the users select which ones they want to see on their view of the calendar?
Thanks
Jen

I also love using the Channels widget to help with this! Next to a calendar widget and targeted to the group of channels, it helps a member to isolate a channel at a time. It's not filtering the calendar view as you said, but does help members get to a list of channel events!

Hi Jennifer Sampson -
If you have the vertical (or horizontal) tabs option within your HTML widget you can set up multiple calendars with one for each channel and then let users toggle between them. It gives the experience of filtering. We bundle channels together by theme and our users seem to like it.
Brigid Towler - That's a great reminder about the Channels widget. I am going to check that out too.

Jennifer Sampson you would only be able to accomplish this via dashboards, please reach out to Igloo's Support team, and they can guide you more.
Thanks Rick Batchelor!

Melissa Westervelt, I LOVE your tab approach to keep them in the same URL!
Brigid Towler - oh, I 100% stole that from someone around here (likely Shaun), but it was a game-changer for us to be able to control views and bundle channels.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing.
