Turning on the Unscheduled List in DayBack for FileMaker

Note: the new unscheduled items sidebar is only available in DayBack for FileMaker 19 (as well as Google, MS365, and Salesforce calendar sources). Unfortunately, it is not available in DayBack Classic.

The unscheduled events list is turned off by default. To enable it, follow the first three steps here, and then make the script change described below.

You'll need to edit one FileMaker script in your solution following the instructions below. You only need to edit this script once per file, not once per calendar.

  1. Open Script Workspace:
    • Navigate to the Script Workspace in FileMaker and open the script titled Create Edit Delete Event - DayBack that was installed when you added DayBack to your file.
  1. Locate the Project ID Block:
    • Scroll down towards line #260 and find the block that begins with the comment # Project ID .
    • The block you’re looking for spans from line #261 to the End If on line #275. (Note: Your line numbers may differ slightly if you've made other edits to the script.)
Copy these lines
  1. Copy the Block:
    • Select and copy this entire block of code.
  2. Create a New Block for Unscheduled Items:
    • Move to line #276 (or the next blank line following the block you just copied) and paste the block you copied, creating a new block of code.
  3. Rename the Comment:
    • Change the comment at line #277 (in the newly pasted block) to read # UNSCHEDULED to indicate that this block handles unscheduled items.
  4. Adjust the Variable:
    • Modify the variable $ket at line #278 (in the newly pasted block) to be "unscheduled" .
  5. Save Your Scripts & Test

That's it! When you're done, your script should include a new section that manages unscheduled items. The newly added block should look like this (highlighted section):

The finished script

Your DayBack setup is now ready to manage and display unscheduled events!
