**Example:**\
Setting the month count to **12** will display a full year of calendar months in the view. This feature is ideal for tailoring the calendar display to suit specific reporting or analysis needs.

## 2. Month Collapse

The **Month Collapse** feature in the Month Calendar view allows users to control the ability to expand the Year View to select a specific month using the down arrow. This provides a cleaner interface when month selection from the year view is not required.

Follow these steps to configure this feature:

* Open the **Format Pane** and navigate to **Date Filter → Calendar → Month Collapse**.
* **Enable** to allow users to expand the Year View and select a month using the down arrow.
* **Disable** to hide the down arrow, preventing users from expanding to month selection.

This feature helps streamline the calendar interface by removing month selection when it's not needed.

## **3. Dates**

1. Open the **Format Pane** and navigate to **Date Filter → Calendar → Display Dates**.
2. Use the **toggle button** to enable or disable the display of dates in the calendar.

This feature is useful for focusing on the heatmap's visual representation without the distraction of date labels.

## **4. Rotate Layout**&#x20;

Follow these steps to configure this feature:

1. Open the **Format Pane** and navigate to **Date Filter → Calendar → Rotate Layout**.
2. Enable to view the Calendar layout in Horizontal View. Disable to have a Vertical layout of the calendar.

## **5. Round Date Label**

The **Round Label Display** feature in the Date Filter allows users to display dates in a circular format when the calendar is in **Month mode**. When enabled, heatmap colors and variance indicators will also be applied within the round labels.

Follow these steps to configure this feature:

1. Add the **Date** field to the category section of the Super Filter.
2. Open the **Format Pane** and navigate to **Date Filter → General** and change the **Selection Style** to **Calendar**.&#x20;
3. Set the **Calendar View** under **Calendar** section to **Month** mode. Once the calendar is in **Month mode**, the **Round Date Label** option will become visible.
4. Enable round date label to view the calendar dates with round label.
5. When Heatmap is enabled, heatmap colors will be applied inside the round labels.
6. If variance is enabled, a round variance icon will appear for each date, with quarter sections of the label filled based on the variance level.
