KWizCom SharePoint Calendar

PlusProduct Overview

What it does?

SharePoint Calendars Aggregation, Team Calendars, Mini-Calendars - Now

available in KWizCom Calendar Plus All-In-One solution!

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
