Separation from Remedy
All Remedy forms and workflow have been removed
Nothing to install on the Remedy server

Separation from Remedy
Advantages:
SimplicityEliminate delays from other projects ITSM implementationService Catalog implementation

Review of Calendar Terms
7
Calendar
A container that defines the types of events that will be displayed on the page.
Indicates what view to use on initial page load– Day, Week, Month
Example: Change Requests
8
Event Type
Term that describes the properties and details about the data it retrieves.
In simple terms it is a field mapping to a Remedy form.A calendar consists of one or more event types.
Example: Scheduled Changes
9
Event
An entry from the Remedy form that was configured in the Event Type.
Displays in the day/time slot that represent the values from the field mappings.
10
Data Sources
11
Data Sources
A system that contains the data you want to display.– Examples:
• Remedy• Exchange• Sharepoint
12
Data Source Adapters
A data source adapter is a module that retrieves data from a specific type of system.
Each type of system requires an adapter

Remedy on Demand
Exchange
Sharepoint

Data Source Adapters
Advantages:
Connect to systems outside of Remedy.Display information from multiple Remedy servers.Display information from multiple systems.Can be used without Remedy.

Summary of New Calendar 2.0 Terms
19
Data Source
A server or system that contains data
Example: Remedy ARS ServerExample: Microsoft Exchange ServerExample: JDBC Database
20
Adapter
A file that communicates to a specific data holding system, and transforms this data into Kinetic Calendar events.
Example: Remedy ARS Adapter, communicates to Remedy ARS servers
Example: Exchange Adapter, communicates to Microsoft Exchange servers
21
Connection (or Data Source Connection)
A configuration of an adapter that points to a specific system or end point. This includes not only the location (server name for example), but the credentials to access the system, and any other necessary information the system requires.
Example: Production Remedy Server – configured to point at the company's production Remedy server and login with specific credentials.
22
Configuration Changes
23
Configuration Changes
Calendar configurations are now stored as files on the web server.
Use the JSON open standard file format, making it easy to edit with a simple text editor.
Data Source connections are configured from a console to ensure all sensitive information is encrypted.

Event Colors
27
Custom Event Colors
Colors can be specified per event type. This color will be applied to all events when the event type is not filtered.

Click Handlers
32
Click Handlers
An action that runs when something is clicked – either an event that is displayed in the calendar view, or an open time slot in the calendar view.
Can be configured to open a URL, such as a Kinetic Request service, a Mid-Tier form, or simply another web page.
Can also be configured to execute a javascript function.
33
Calendar Click Handlers
Executed when an open time slot on a calendar is clicked.
Passes the date/time slot the user clicked.
Example: Open a Kinetic Request form that collects additional information, and uses the task engine to create a new event in the desired location.
34
Event Click Handlers
Executed when an existing event is clicked. Information about the event may be passed to the click handler, such as the event id.
Example: Open an external system, such as Kinetic Request, to modify the event.
35
Example showing a URL with parameters
This example opens a Kinetic Request service, passing two URL parameters that the service item can utilize.
Click Handler Example

Themes
37
Themes
Provide unique branding for your pages– Calendar listing page
– Calendar display page
– Event display page
– Error page
Same concept as Kinetic Request bundles

Time Zones
41
Time Zones
Improved Time Zone support.Support for daylight savings time (DST).
Before – Offset from GMT
VS
Now – Olson Timezone
42
Time ZonesAbility to lock a calendar to a specific time zone.
Example:
A conference calendar that displays the times of all the events for the conference.
Events need to be displayed in the time zone where the conference is held, not the time zone where the user is viewing the calendar.
43
Time Zones – Example of fixed time zone
