GoMeddo offers a number of calendars. This page aims to explains the differences in features and applications.

Lightning Calendars

Lightning calendars are the newest calendars in GoMeddo. They are also the most performant, even for large calendars. As they are Lightning components, they can be easily included almost anywhere in any Lightning experience context. Furthermore, these calendars contain extensive hooks on the reservation form that you can leverage to execute your own business logic.

About Lightning calendars

Where can I use Lightning Calendars?

Lightning calendars can be included on Lightning record pages or Lightning App pages that you create. We are working on exposing more ways to include Lightning calendars, such as on home pages. For more information:

Note

Lightning calendars can be made available in Classic through Lightning Out, but we do not officially support this yet. Some features might not work properly.

Lightning Calendars

VisualForce Calendars

Warning

VisualForce calendars are no longer supported. We leave this section for reference only.

Using older Salesforce VisualForce technology, these calendars can have some performance issues for large calendars. But what these calendars lack in performance, they make up for in their feature richness. We are working on getting most (if not all) of these features ported to the new Lightning calendars.
