How to Highlight a Calendar based on a field

[#1]

I have created a custom application including a set of daily events which I display in a calendar report. I would like to be able to highlight these events in the calendar view based on certain fields contained within the event but cannot see a way of doing this.

The Forward Schedule of Change Calendar Report appears to include this functionality - it has a section above the calendar with 3 radio buttons allowing the user to select 'Escalation', 'Priority' or 'Approval'. The functioality then highlights the calendar entries according to the value for those entries for the field selected and using the colors assigned in the Reports -> Color Charts module.

I have assigned Color Values to the values within the fields in the events I wish to highlight but I do not see the 'Highlight based on: ...' text at the top of my new calendar report and as such am unable to select the fields to highlight.

Is anyone able to advise on how to use the report highlighting functionality for calendars and whether I can repolicate the 'Highlight based on' functionality as used in the FSC report?

Many thanks, Dan

It seems like picking an item from a calendar goes to a specific view. Is there any way for it to go to a default view?

in response to a question in the thread, you can customize what shows up in a calendar using table attributes as defined in the wiki:

Basically personalize a table in the dictionary and add something like the following in the attributes section:
calendar_elements=number;short_description;end_date

Did you get this to work, as I want to highlight user names "assigned_to" in differnet colours in a calendar report.

I am trying to figure this out too. So what is being decribed in adding the field styles will that give you a radio button to enable highlighting? I would love to be able to change the radio buttons on the calendar report for Change sicne we don't look at half of the highlight options on the calendar.
