Here’s a beautiful example of adding additional color-coding options and icons to DayBack Calendar. This customer wanted to retain DayBack’s default color-coding for status but add another color–shown here as the header of the event–for color-coding by resource (salesperson, in this case). They also wanted some icons to highlight a few facts about the event. Icons show if the event can be moved or if there is bad weather...
Here is a beautiful mod of DayBack Calendar by Denisa Myrta of Koni Solutions. Koni builds a vertical market app for the construction industry, and the whole app is gorgeous.

We’re about to launch a new in-app update to DayBack that will include a new look for the sidebar header. This new version is much easier to modify with CSS for folks who want to remove tabs, rename tabs, or switch between icons and text for the tab labels. We also think it makes it more obvious that users can close and open the sidebar. If you’re already...
For most teams, there’s a fine line between not having enough work and having way too much. DayBack Calendar helps us see the difference. Here’s a behind the scenes look at how SeedCode balances developers’ schedules using DayBack’s calendar analytics. What’s working here A couple of key ingredients need to be in place before this kind of scheduling works. Blocking off time to work. That orange dotted line representing our goal only...
Here’s a beautiful calendar mod by Catherine Kirkland of Digital Fusion. She added new FileMaker layout elements to the right edge and bottom of the calendar. Looks great!

Folks often put their own navigation elements above or to the left of the calendar, but this...
Here’s a mod I can’t live without. This tooltip will translate your appointments into three other time zones. Also, it’s easy to customize so you can add more cities if you need to. This is also a great example of how fun it can be to use JavaScript within FileMaker because JS makes these kinds of timezone transformations much easier. Transforming Times with Moment.js DayBack includes the wonderful...

You can customize the content and can style the tooltips (and their content) using your own CSS. How It Works Tooltips are triggered by a new calendar action: On Event Hover. This new action can call FileMaker scripts or execute JavaScript. It’s JavaScript you’ll use for the tooltips, and you can call a simple...
