How to Use Calendar Plus with Web Part Connections

Calendar Plus can be connected to other SharePoint lists if the data source for Calendar Plus is a list or List Rollup.
This feature is available for a single list as a source.

Note: If the user has multiple lists as source, Web Part Connections cannot be used. In this case, when attempting to use Web Part Connections for filtering, after selecting Consume Filter From, the following pop-up window will be displayed.

Once your List View Web Part (in this example, Person responsible) is added to the page, you can filter based on a selected view.
* Select an item (in this case, one of the persons set in List View) for filtering calendar data by clicking on the arrow next to the specific item.
* When a view is selected in the list, the arrow will change to bold.
* To deselect an item, click on another view.

Note: Web Part Connections is a good option if you want to filter on a specific data. If you want to view all items, or have multiple lists, use the Runtime Filter option.
