Calendar View Does Not Display All Items
I'm using SP Foundation.
I started a new calendar (I've not been using SP 2010 for about 2 months so I'm a little rusty).
The calendar view says show all items in this view. The All Events view is set up the same.
When I open up SP as J Doe and then me, and when I make a calendar item, J Doe cannot see it in Calendar view. I want Doe and me to see all of our items in Calendar view, not just the All Events view. The funny thing is though when I go to look
at the view settings, for calendar it says Show All Items in This View, so that's why I cannot understand why both Doe and mine are not showing up for each other.
Please a

Hi:
Have you verified the permissions assigned to each user? maybe are different and because that both cant see the same items
hope this help

thanks for your reply. i'm pretty sure it's not permissions because when mike makes a calendar entry and john can't see it in calendar view, john CAN see it in all events view. And vice versa. Plus they both have the same level of permissions.
any other ideas are appreciated.

Hi,
Few comments:
1. You need to check item level permission. Go to list settings-->advance settings-->and verify the item level permission section.
2. Modify your view and see if there is any filter in filter section. Go to list settings-->click on your view-->see the filter section.
Now let us know your result

Hi,
Make the view as public view, so everyone can view the events inside the calendar.
Thanks.

I think it is public but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Can you tell me how?
Here is my reply to Hemendra
Here is the item permissions settings:

Here is the Calendar View settings; seems like no filters:

One other thing I just noticed. When I fill out the calendar form and when I do not add others but just myself (Mike Walton) in the Attendess field then that item shows up in calendar view for me only but not for John Doe. But when I add John Doe
to the entry, then it also shows up for Walton and Doe on the calendar view.

I tried deleting the column item "Attendees" thinking if I do it would remove this issue, but it won't let me remove it because it's a required field.

I doubts there is some custom code or script which is doing that so we need to confirm this as well:
Go to you calendar list-->select all events-->click on yoru event title menu bar and select manage permission-->Now verify who is added to view this event:
See belwo screen for ref:

You're right - there can't be custom code because I'm an OOTB user only. I've never had this issue before with a calendar. I wouldn't even know where to begin with the code to fix something like this :-)
Anyway, here is permissions:
I clicked on owners:
And both Doe and Walton are owners of site and calendar so they should see everything
As I mentioned previously, I really think it's something to do with the Attendees field. When I had only Walton in that field when making calendar entry, then only Walton sees the entry. When I add Doe to that field, then both Walton and Doe can
see the entry on the calendar.

>I really think it's something to do with the Attendees field
Permisison looks good and it is suerly with this column which is filtering events based on this field. Just one more place is current user filter webpart. Just open your list and edit page and see if there is any additional webpart or user filter webpart
on page

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you clarify? Use SPD 2010 to do this or browser? More explanation? Maybe a few pictures if you can? Thanks.

Open your list and select "All events" view-->go to site action-->click edit page-->see if there is any additional webpart. Remember Attendees field will not filter any event until you have done something with that. See all the possible ways to
find this issue. You can also open your calendar list in designer and open view form to verify fir any custom script or code.

Thanks for clarifying. Here is the All Events view in edit page mode:

Here is the Calendar view in edit page mode:

Seems like there are no other web parts on either page.
I haven't looked in SPD 2010 because I just launched this SP system OOTB so I can't imagine there being some custom or rogue code on there.
Any other ideas?

The "Walton Event" you see in 2nd picture was created by me (Walton) and I did not invite anyone else in the Attendees field. If John Doe looked at the exact same calendar view, he would NOT see the event called "Walton Event." That's why I'm
puzzled about all of this.
In the past when I created calendars, if Walton made an entry, then everyone else would see that entry, not just Walton. Now it seems like because the field called Attendees is there, it's restricting who can see the event entry; if your name is not
added in the Attendees field, then that person will not see the entry.
Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
It sounds like you have switched on the "Group Calendar Options" for your calendar. These add new content types to the calendar ("Schedule", "Reservations", and "Schedule and Reservations") in addtion to the standard "Event" content type. These
new content types each come with their own specific behaviour. Yor screen shot showing the Attendees field looks like it's using the "Schedule and Reservations" content type.
To check this, go to the "Title, description and navigation" settings page for the calendar (this is the first option under "General Settings" on the List Settings page). You will see two settings in the "Group Calendar Settings" sections. Set
both of these settings to NO. This will remove the special content types from the calendar - you will be left with only the standard "Event" content type, which should then behave like you are expecting (ie, everyone can see all events).
Hope that helps.

Oh this is perfect Stuart! It works just like it should now (like a true public calendar). I honestly don't even remember clicking YES on that one field that I had to change to NO. Maybe it's just default now.
Anyway, it works great and thanks so much.

What you're missing is that he is using a Resource list with a reservation calendar. That is why he isn't seeing entries.

Stuart, any idea how to make events visible on my calendar now that I'm on SP2013?
