Get Started

Calendar Planner is a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web part for Microsoft 365 tenants. This guide walks through installation, configuration, licensing activation, and initial setup.

Before you start

Required

  • Microsoft 365 tenant
  • SharePoint Online
  • Permission to install apps from the Microsoft Marketplace into your tenant (typically a Global or SharePoint Admin role)
  • Permission to add web parts to modern site pages
  • An active Calendar Planner licence (or use the Free tier / 30-day Enterprise trial)

Recommended

  • Site Collection Administrator rights for the target site
  • A modern communication or team site for deployment
  • SharePoint List(s) for managing events (or any list with start and end date columns)

Installation

Install from the Microsoft Marketplace

Calendar Planner is published on the Microsoft commercial marketplace and installs into your Microsoft 365 tenant in a single click.

  1. Open the Calendar Planner listing on the Microsoft Marketplace.
  2. Click Get it now. Microsoft will sign you in and ask which tenant to install into.

Licensing activation

Calendar Planner validates your subscription using a secure SaaS licensing check.

How it works

  1. The web part automatically detects your Microsoft 365 tenant ID
  2. It transmits only the tenant ID and app ID over HTTPS
  3. No personal or event data is transmitted
  4. Valid licences activate the app immediately

If your licence cannot be validated, you’ll see an in-app message with steps to resolve.

Manage License Key in the property pane

Manage your licence at the bottom of the web part property pane. Click Manage License Key to open the activation pane.

Activate License Key pane

Clicking Manage License Key opens the Activate License Key pane; paste your key and confirm.
