Calendar

Objects at their date values. For loan dates, transports, installation phases and conservation projects.

Calendar fields

The calendar shows the date fields chosen as calendar fields. You can choose fields of the field types Date and Date and time. You choose them at the top of the calendar (Show on calendar, Hide from calendar) or in the view settings under Calendar fields. Both are the same setting, and it is saved per project.

If nothing is chosen yet, the calendar takes the first date field of the project. If the project has no date field, it shows No date fields available. Each field gets its own colour.

Single date or period

Setting	Presentation
One calendar field on its own	Each object as a single date on that day
Two fields paired (Pair with (range))	Each object as a period between the two dates, shown as Paired with …

For a paired set, the earlier date is taken as the start and the later one as the end. A return date before the issue date therefore does not flip the period, but creates it in the right direction. To search for such contradictions, use the filter . If only one of the two dates is filled, a single date appears.

Which fields are paired into a period is remembered by the browser, not by the user account.

Presentations

Button	Shows
Day	Months one below the other with their days, scrolling continuously. Default
Month	One box per month, with the entries as tags inside
Year	One box per year
Agenda	List of dates in chronological order, with labels such as Today, Tomorrow or in n days
Timeline	One row per calendar field on a continuous time axis

You page with the arrows and Today; Load more extends the period forwards or backwards. A click on a month or year box zooms in one level. The browser remembers per project which presentation was open last.

Month and Year also show incomplete dates: a date that consists only of year and month appears in the month, one with only a year in the year. Day, Agenda and Timeline show only complete dates; an object that has only incomplete ones appears there in the list Without date. See Date .

Area	Content
Upcoming	The next dates, grouped into Today, Tomorrow, This week, Later and Past
Without date	Objects in the selection that have no date in any calendar field. Above them, Drop sets: with the field that is filled when you drag

Both areas can be collapsed.

Setting a date by dragging

Action	Effect
Drag an object from Without date onto a day	The field under Drop sets: gets this date (Drag onto a day to set the date.)
Drag an object from Without date onto a month or year box	The field gets an incomplete date: year and month, or only the year
Drag an existing entry in Day onto another day	The date shifts by the difference. For a period, start and end shift together
Drag an existing entry in Month or Year into another box	The date is set to the new month or year, as an incomplete date

Without write access to the field, Without date shows the hint No write access to this field. If no target field is chosen, it shows Pick a field to enable drag-and-drop. Saving works as in the object view, with an entry in the history .

ICS file

Export .ics downloads a calendar file (kalender-p<Projekt>.ics) that you can open in Outlook, in Apple Calendar or in other calendar programs. It contains all entries the calendar is currently showing, as all-day events with the object name and field name. The file is a snapshot; later changes in Moliri only appear after a new export.

Working with the calendar

A click on an entry opens the object in the object view. Hovering shows a preview of the object.
The most useful combination is the calendar in the sidebar and the object view in the workspace: go through the dates and record data as you go.
While a large project is still loading, the top shows … of … loaded. The calendar shows only the objects loaded so far. See Large projects load in stages .
