Creating a New Calendar

How you create a calendar depends on if you are adding a calendar to an existing page or adding a calendar on a new page. When creating calendars remember:

You can only create one calendar for each page. The calendar includes daily, weekly, and monthly views.
The date column determines which days on the calendar will contain entries.
The display column defines a specific row that will display a calendar date.

Tip:

In Oracle Application Express release 3.1, the Create Calendar Wizard includes a new Display Type option. Standard submits the page along with the associated request. Partial Page Refresh only refreshes the Calendar region. Once the calendar is created, the display type cannot be changed. To change the display type, you must delete the calendar and then recreate it.
