I am trying to look out for a way to make the defaultScope of calendar view to "Week". We can do it using the SharePoint UI.

Any idea if I have any property of SPView or SPCalendarView that can be used to make the Weekly View as default scope for List view.

Problem: - I have a calendar that displays events from multiple calendar (using calendar overlays). - My home page contains a list view web part of the calendar list.

By default the list view displays monthly view of the calendar. I would like it to display the Weekly view of the overlayed calendar.

I was thinking if I can make the defaultScope as weekly for the default view of the calendar list, Till now i am not able to find any answer.

Help Help Help... :)

Regards, Sudhir

  • Finally I got the answer. It was not that complicated as I expected. The calendar rendering is dependent on only one query string parameter "CalendarPeriod". So if i just append "?CalendarPeriod=week" in to my url the calendar rendering will update itself to display the weekly calendar. It was so stupid :) Thanks ashish for directing me to Calendar View Default Scope... moved my answer as commend as per request from Brian

If you are using the CalendarPlus webpart, click Modify Web Part Settings. On the General Settings tab, change Default view Period from Month to Week. Note: Day is also an option.

If you wish to simply change the calendar itself to view the week, then go to the calendar. From the ribbon, select Calendar Tools --> Calendar. Select *List Settings. Scroll down to Views. Click on the view you wish to edit. Change Default Scope to Week.

The only other way to change the default scope of calendar view other than UI is to send RPC call to owssvr.dll. For complete solution, visit this link -

Just go to "Calendar Tools"/"Modify View" and set the default scope to Week!

there is no need to program or use external software.
