Development Highlights (March 2026)

The following updates represent the most significant improvements introduced since the start of the year.

Dashboard Tile for SharePoint and Viva

A new Dashboard Tile allows calendar events to be surfaced as configurable summary cards.

This tile can be added to SharePoint pages or the Viva Connections dashboard, allowing teams to highlight upcoming events or operational schedules without opening the full calendar.

  • Configurable card layouts
  • Flexible field selection
  • Event filtering

These tiles make it easier to surface important calendar information across intranet and dashboard experiences.

Recurring Event Management

Calendar Planner now includes an improved interface for creating and editing recurring events.

Administrators can configure event series directly from the event editor, supporting common scheduling patterns while maintaining compatibility with SharePoint event lists.

Enhanced Filtering and Views

Several improvements have expanded how events can be organised and filtered.

  • Category filtering directly from the legend in Gantt view
  • Improved handling of large event lists
  • Configurable display fields and event panels

These changes help teams manage complex calendars with clearer navigation and filtering options.

Reliability and Performance Improvements

A significant portion of recent development has focused on improving reliability when Calendar Planner is deployed across complex SharePoint environments.

  • Resolving navigation issues when switching between SharePoint pages
  • Improving configuration stability for Dashboard Tile components
  • Correcting regional date formatting behaviour for non-US locales such as en-GB
  • Improving storage and configuration handling for cloned pages

These changes help ensure that calendar configurations remain stable across different pages and site contexts.

Latest Maintenance Updates

Recent releases continue to improve stability and configuration behaviour.

Version 1.0.0.295 resolved issues where cloned SharePoint pages could briefly display a previous calendar configuration or cause navigation errors during page transitions.

What Customers Should Do

If you are currently running an earlier release of Calendar Planner, updating to the latest version will provide improved configuration reliability, better SharePoint navigation behaviour, new Dashboard Tile capabilities, and enhanced event filtering and display options.

Administrators deploying Calendar Planner across multiple SharePoint pages may particularly benefit from the stability improvements introduced during recent development cycles.
