There are some options that you can change in your mapper.

When you add a new mapper you can select from some predefined setting or you can create your own. These presets are created for the calendar datasource.

Options for calculator:

• Calendar current events - Give back all current events from the calendar datasource.
• Calendar today events - Give back all events that will occur(ed) today from the calendar datasource.
• Calendar today upcoming events - Give back all events that will occur today from this point onward. This excludes events that have already occurred and events that are in progress.
• Calendar tomorrow events - Give back all events that will occur tomorrow from the calendar datasource.
• Calendar upcoming events - Give back all events that will occur except current events from the calendar datasource.
• Calendar full - Give back all events with the defined categories before.

After you selected your option you need to fill in:
