# Set Initial View

 * Can I set the initialView using a shortcode?
 * I understand that ‘dayGridWeek’, ‘timeGridDay’, ‘listWeek’ are options – and 
   the default initial view is ‘dayGridMonth’
 * This did not work:
    [pgc initialview=”listWeek”]
 * Is there a way to change the Initial View – either with the shortcake or other
   method?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * You should use:
 * [pgc default_view=”listWeek”]
 * See this page for some examples and explanation on using the shortcode:

 * Michiel, thank you so much. I apparently missed that example! Works perfectly!
