The context menu is the menu that is displayed when the user clicks with a secondary mouse button anywhere within a calendar. It provides quick access to some of the most commonly requested calendar functions. There are two context menus shown on a calendar, depending on whether the user clicks on a calendar cell that contains an item, or a blank cell.
The builder has the option to enable or disable certain options, and some context menu options are SharePoint standards. The topics below describe what can be done with each context menu option.
Note: When a user accesses the context menu from an existing item on a Calendar Display, the context menu includes an option for "New Item." However, this option is not available from the context menu accessed from a blank calendar cell because it is impossible to know which list to add the item to. To resolve this issue, the Calendar Display's context menu for single days now includes the Custom Actions option. The builder can define an action to add a new item to the calendar.
Select an action to execute against the currently selected item.
Go to the single day view for the day from which the context menu was accessed.
Go to the single day view for today’s date.
Create a new item in the same list as the item that was clicked on to access the context menu. An entry form is displayed with all fields that can be populated.
Open an action form and make any necessary changes. Click OK when you are finished to save the changes and return to the display.
Open an action form and view all available information regarding the selected item
Select an action to execute against the currently selected item.
