It would be great if there were an option to enter a start date for the display calendar. This is needed for planning events that happen in the future.

Nicolas got me around the problem by creating a menu item that links to the URL of the start month which is great. But it would still be a nice feature to have natively.

Just a follow up. &nbsp;I ended up adding a bit of javascript to automatically redirect the page to one with the start date I needed. &nbsp;Works great...

```
$(document).on('knack-page-render.scene_20', function(event, page) {
  var newUrl = "https://hdmann.knackhq.com/france-2015#fullcalendar/?view_42_view=month&view_42_date=%222015-07-01T06%3A00%3A00.000Z%22";
  location.href = newUrl;

});
```
