Search Option for Calendar Selection
Page Overview
[Hide]This feature request is a part of the Calendar Revision III.
1 Initial Problem
If someone has a large number of calendars (e. g. due to many course and group memberships), it will be difficult to find and select desired calendars because you have to work through a long list.
The "Calendar Selection" box brings the calendar in alphabetical order. There is only a distinction between "personal" and "other" calendars.
It must be possible to access a desired calendar more quickly via this "Calendar Selection" box to enable/disable it or to call up its dates and settings or the corresponding course.

2 Conceptual Summary
A text input field is used to search for a keyword that appears in the title of a calendar name. The list of the calendar selection should only show the calendars matching the keyword.
Three different options are possible for the implementation:
- Search: A search field with a search button (similar to Wiki search) is available. When scrolling, the search field stops. Open question: How can the search be reset so that all calendars are displayed again?
- Filter: Optionally, a filter search mask can be displayed with a toggle. Advantage: You can add more filters. Disadvantage: A lot of space is needed in this already small panel for the buttons and the filter itself.
- Searchable Tree: The input directly causes a change in the list below (similar to Autocomplete). Advantage: Reduced, delete input resets list and displays all entries. Would also be possible for Repository Tree and Taxonomy Trees. Disadvantage: New KS element required.
2.1 Possible places of use
- Sidepanel: Calendar Selection
- Sidepanel: Taxonomies
- Repository Tree (see Tree Behavior for Categories with Huge Amounts of Data)
