I need to give my users a choice between Received Date and Discharge Date. Once they choose, I want to make all of my Calendar Objects reflect their date choice. Any suggestions?
I'd create a variable to store which date is selected, buttons for switching between them (the button Action would be changing the value of this variable), and creating calendar objects for each date, which would be identical in layout and placement, but with a Conditional Show under Properties:Layout which would show only one type of calendar objects depending on which was chosen by the user (based on the variable value).
Sure, no problem. To create the variable, Settings: Variable Overview, and then Add Variable.
For the buttons, under Actions, choose Add, then External, then Set Variable. Input the name of your newly created variable and some value (it can be whatever you want, you just have to distinguish the two date types somehow. First button must set it to one value, the second button must set it to the other value).
Finally, for the objects themselves, in their Properties under Layout change Show from Alway to Conditional, and put a simple condition like this:
your variable name = your variable value for calendar objects for this type of date
(if you went for text as your variable values, be sure to put it in single quotes here)
Then clicking the buttons will alternate between showing calendar objects for either dates.
