List calendar view
You can enable a list to render as a calendar view, with each individual record configured to act as a single event.
The required settings are available in the Portal Management app. Once you have the view open in the management app, select the Calendar View tab. The following field mappings can be configured to display list records as dated events on the calendar. The records need to include at least one date field.
