- view: Opens the calendar with a specific view.
- lang: Overwrites the default language of the calendar.
- title: Overwrites the default calendar title.
- tz: Force the timezone of the calendar to a specific value.
- refresh: Configure the calendar to automatically refresh.
- showHeader: Show or hide the calendar header (logo, title, search, etc.)
- showLogo: Show or hide the logo.
- showSidepanel: Show or hide the sidepanel. User can still access it.
- disableSidepanel: Disable the sidepanel. User cannot access it anymore.
- showTitle: Show or hide the calendar title.
- showViewSelector: Show or hide selector for calendar view.
- Examples with multiple Parameters
Example:
Calendar link parameters are key=value pairs that are appended at the end of a calendar URL. In the following example, link parameters are used to set the calendar start date to Sep. 9, 2017, the initial view to weekly view and the side-panel to be hidden.

| showViewSelector=1 | Hide view selector. |
