Transcript Calendar Plus web part slide cast

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
