Does anyone have a 3rd party tool to display a calendar?

It REALLY would be nice to click on an item inside Aware's scheduler so I can drill to the details of an entry and approve/deny/edit it, but I've already used the Appointments object for a ton of records in 1 context, and now I have another new phase of the app where the scheduler would work great. But no joy.
I'm thinking even if I could offer a javascript calendar as a popup, it would be better than nothing.
Its not a very big deal, but we're tracking vacation/PTO requests. Would be nice to visually see the requested time on a calendar view to see who else might be off during the requested time. Even without integration (by clicking) back into aware, if its simple to format the existing vacation time into XML/JSON, and then display in a HTML window it would help the user (I think???).

Or I just thought what if all the APPROVED vacation time got pushed to a google calendar, or outlook , on a special account.
And when a new request comes in it goes to the calendar as a different type/color.
Maybe thats better?

PS _ Had a discussion here - this shows Vlad's reply:
Can I have more that 1 Appointments type Group? v8.8

I have used a couple of different external calenders in the past and you have many options depending on what you need. I have not read/understood you problem entirely but here are some options you maybe can use:

  • Have another BS with the stuff you need and show a scheduler from that app in your main app.
  • If you are comfortable with JS and Kendo, you do have the Kendo library loaded in Aware which means you can use it to set up your own scheduler or whatever. You just need to code it yourself and ChatGPT can probably help with a lot of that if you go down that route.
  • Use Full calendar: https://fullcalendar.io/
  • Google other JS calendar options
  • Use a JS datepicker always showing so it shows a clickable minicalendar in your contentpanel and you tie the dates to an Aware function that shows a list of appointments for that day. You can also color code the date background e.g red for has appointments or whatever. I have done this before in an app and works well.
  • Use a CSS calendar and tie dates to process like datepicker option above.
  • x/y/z
