Calendar Report on Database View

Is it possible to run a Calendar report on a database view and select the "fields" we want to see from the database view?

I have created a database view of two custom tables, one of which has a start_date and end_date field.   The second table has room information that needs to be viewable together with the start and end dates - hence the database view.   A list report runs fine but a calendar is requested to show Short Description, Assigned To, Start and End date(time) and room information.   The calendar entry looks like this - not helpful

I know how to choose the fields I want to show on a calendar report from a normal table - go to collection record and add calendar_elements to the attributes.   However, a database view does not have a dictionary so no collection record.

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a usable calendar report from a database view?   If not, any other way to create a calendar such as this?

I'm having the same issue. Were you able to find a solution?


No I did not.   I'm not sure it's possible.

Hi,



I can confirm that this is now working as expected in our Geneva release and the issue is fixed.



You may need to set a display value to true to avoid just seeing the sys_id numbers. I just had to do this when creating a calendar report against incident_sla in my Geneva test instance.
