This component is available for app pages and record pages. If you include this in an Experience Cloud, make sure it is on a record page. See this article for more information on how to Add a Calendar to a page.
The appearance of the component changes based on the record type of the selected Calendar config record. If the record type is Vertical Calendar, dates will be shown on the horizontal axis, at the top of each column. If the record type is Vertical Column Calendar, dates will be shown on the vertical axis instead, and the horizontal axis will contain a column for each dimension record.

Controlling what the calendar displays
On an App Page:
The component will display the reservations for every record (that the user has access to) of the linked dimension. So for example when a Resource calendar has been selected, the component will display every Resource in your org.
If you have a use case to only display reservations for specific records, or are running into limits because the component is trying to display too many records, you can wrap the component and pass it the ids of the dimension records you want to display reservations for. See Wrapping Calendar Components
On a Record Page:
You can use the two inputs Lookup to Dimension and Child Dimensions to Display to control what the calendar displays.
If both these inputs are empty, the calendar component will display for the current record. This means the current record will be the dimension, and will be used to get the opening times from and any related reservations. So for example if you place this component on a Staff record page, and you navigate to a specific Staff record, the component will show the available times for that Staff member, as well as any reservations for that Staff member.
If Lookup to Dimension is filled in on the component, the component will display the related record contained in that lookup. So for example if you place this component on a record page with a ‘Resource’ lookup, the calendar will display the resource that the current record is related to. If that happens to be a parent resource, such as a building with multiple meeting rooms, all those child meeting rooms will also be displayed.
Child Dimensions to Display is very similar to Lookup to Dimension, except instead of a related parent record, it lets you choose a list of child records to display. For example, if a custom object ‘Store’ has a lookup ‘Manager’, you can select the ‘Stores’ child list to display all the stores that a manager is related to.
