The Calendar is designed to streamline team scheduling and resource coordination. It lets you view individual calendars side by side, making it easier to compare schedules and plan activities without constantly switching between views. It also helps with resource management by giving a clear overview of team members' availability, so you can make informed decisions on task assignments. With a straightforward checkbox system, selecting the calendars you want to view is quick and intuitive.

To get the most out of the calendar, follow these simple steps:

Accessing the Calendar

Navigate to the left sidebar menu and select the "Calendars" tab to access the calendar view.

Selecting Calendars

Click Manage View to open the filters.

On the right-hand side of the screen, locate the Users/Staff section. Select the checkboxes next to the names of the individuals whose calendars you wish to compare.

Viewing Calendars Side by Side

After selecting the desired calendars, select Day from the dropdown menu.

The chosen calendars will be displayed side by side in the resource view, making comparison and scheduling straightforward.

Viewing multiple calendars side by side simplifies the process of comparing schedules and coordinating activities. This supports efficient task assignment and decision-making, so resources are used effectively and deadlines are met.
