Product Overview

What it does? SharePoint Calendars Aggregation, Team Calendars, Mini-Calendars - Now available in KWizCom Calendar Plus All-In-One solution!
3
Why did we create it? SharePoint calendars do not allow aggregation of events from different lists/sites There is no event coloring, drag &drop or tooltip options in a regular SharePoint web part displaying a calendar view There are no customization options for different time zones, no dynamic view toggling and no calendar printing option SharePoint does not allow Google calendars or Outlook web access calendars integration Events can not be integrated from any external applications like SAP/Oracle ERP systems Adding new events or editing existing ones is messy and requires redirection
