Creating an Outlook type Calendar User Interface

Hi All

I am looking to create a Visual Schedule viewer in Dynamics 365 for operations.

Which control should I use to display Outlook style Calendar? It should function just as Outlook does to show the meeting schedules.

Thanks,

Shyamala.

If you want something like Outlook, I think you should use Outlook and merely synchronize the data you need in F&O, instead of trying to reimplement Outlook in your ERP system. It’ll allow users to do things at the most natural place and you won’t have to invest a huge amount of time to develop something that already exists.

But if you want to do it anyway, you’ll have to implement it by yourself as an extensible control, because there is no standard control working exactly as Outlook. Also check out if ISVs don’t have something similar to what you’re looking for.
