Calendar Widget
The Economic Calendar Widget is the most important of our calendar widgets. It shows the calendar of events and indicators.
The widget has some quick filters for the date range, impact, country and category of the events. The user can change the timezone in which date and times are shown, download the calendar info, select a range of advanced filters and activate/deactivate the notification sound. These settings are saved on the user browser and are shared between sessions.
The widget is able to receive live updates of the calendar events' data. When the data for an event is released at their exact date and time, it is immediately updated on the widget, with no need to refresh the current page. When the live updates happen, the widget produces a notification sound to notify the user.
Each row of the calendar can show a link to the event dashboard (containing the other calendar widgets) in order to offer your users a whole insight view into the event information and data.
The Economic Calendar Widget has an adapted display for small devices using chips instead of rows. Note that this is changed using the User-Agent
.
