• Don’t show data at Quarter, year, week view when Filter DateTime (in List Rollup classic mode).

Limitations:
• This product can be migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. However, there are limitations to the migration procedure. Read KB.12896: How to Migrate Bamboo Products from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 for more information.
• Copying content from the Quarter View to Excel results in background color being lost.
• If Calendar Plus Web Part is added on a page created a List View (example: allitems.aspx), user will receive the error: “ListRollupSettings :: btnWegPart_Click :: Invalid URL argument.” Work Around: Use the Calendar Plus Web Part on a page that was not generated creating a List View.
• If Calendar Plus Web Part’s data source is a SharePoint List or Library, and a selected List or Library View is applied as the filter, the view’ Item Limits are not honored
• If Calendar Plus Web Part’s data source is a SharePoint List or Library, only one SharePoint List or Library can be displayed in the Gantt View. Work Around: Utilize the Bamboo product List Rollup Web Part to aggregate multiple lists into a single view then connect Calendar Plus Web Part to the resulting List Rollup.
• In the SharePoint List and Library category of the Calendar Plus Web Part Settings window, the column headers in the included SharePoint Lists and/or Libraries grid cannot be modified the Bamboo Language files.
• If Calendar Plus Web Part’s data source is Bamboo List Rollup when configuring Step 8 – Item Identification, the top 200 distinct records are returned.
• Calendar Plus Web Part’s Print functionality uses HTML to generate the Print Friendly page. As a result, the calendar view spans multiple pages.
• Calendar Plus Web Part’s Print functionality for Gantt view is limited to what you see is what you get. If items in the Gantt View span beyond the initial view, causing scroll bars to view, you will only see the items shown in the Print Friendly window.

• Use web part in List View and getting error: “ListRollupSettings :: btnWegPart_Click :: Invalid URL argument.” Workaround: use the web part in the web part page or non-list view page.
• View that limits items does not limit items in Calendar Plus.
• Can only display one SharePoint List in Gantt View.
• Unable to change the column header text in the Select List/Library grid.
• Distinct values of the top 200 records of List Rollup are used to color codes.
• Calendar only print HTML and doesn’t do page break for each view.
• Gantt print doesn’t print all items, it prints the scroll bars on the view.
• New values added to the column configured for color-coding are not automatically configured for color-coding, resulting in values not appearing in the color legend and events associated with the new value showing no color identification.
HW27 Chart Plus Web Part for SharePoint 2013 Release 3.5.143.2013

Known Issues:
• When using Excel services as the data source, changing the region to German the Web Part displays Bamboo Error “Not a legal OleAut date.” in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.
• When Web Part Connection is used for filtering, if “Send first row to connected Web Parts when page loads” in the Miscellaneous of the consumer Web Part’s tool pane is not checked users will see the “No data to display…” error since the Data View sends an empty value to the consumer of the connection. (Note: If this “Send first row to connected Web Parts when page loads” property is set to TRUE (checked), the Web part will initiate (fire) its connection when the page containing the part is first loaded in the web browser. The Data View sends the data for the first row in the result set XML data to the Web Part that is the consumer of the connection. This property allows a Web Part page with connected Data Views to have a reasonable initial state then the page is opened in the web browser.)
• Some labels are displayed in the wrong place when the orientation of the chart is changed from vertical to horizontal.
• When using List Rollup version 5.0 as the data source, Chart Plus displays incorrect time data and still shows time with the “date” datatype only instead of “date and time”.

Limitations:
• When using the external list as the data source, the Web part does not support data types including Datetimeoffset, Time7, and Begin.
• When using Excel services as the data source and there is an empty value in the first row for a particular column, in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 the Web Part Settings does not show the column name for this column under the Available Columns Listbox to select.
• When Web Part Connection is used for filtering and the x-axis and y-axis are empty for one of the items, the “No Data to display…” error is displayed.
• When connecting with Excel Services, the original currency is not displayed, e.g. € is displayed as $.
• When connecting with Excel Services and the Date/Time column is selected from the worksheet to display, the Bar (Date/Time) option is not available as part of the Chart Type’s drop-down options.
