How to Use Calendar Views

Calendar Views work like Idea Catalog saved views: they save the way you are looking at the same underlying data.

A Calendar View can save:

• The calendar layout, like Month, Week, Day, Year, or Agenda.
• Calendar filters, like Event Type or Has Linked Idea.
• Display settings, like whether overflowing events are shown.
• The event field layout — which fields appear when you open an event, and in what order.

Scope Matters

Calendar Views follow the same scope as the calendar where they are created.

A Content Calendar View does not appear on the Master Calendar. A Master Calendar View does not appear inside a Channel.

Fields Follow the View

A view also decides how an event's fields are laid out. Open an event from a calendar and its fields arrive in that view's order, in both the quick-edit popover and the full event window; the window collapses the fields the view leaves out under a Show N hidden fields toggle rather than dropping them.

That makes a view a workflow, not just a lens. A Filming Week view can lead with Start, End, and Attendees, while a Release Planning view leads with the linked Idea's details and leaves scheduling fields hidden.

Set it from Fields (number) in the calendar toolbar — with a view active, the change saves to that view for everyone. See Choose the Fields on Calendar Events.

Create a Calendar View

1. Set up the calendar

   Choose a layout, apply filters, and turn display settings on or off.

2. Open Saved Views

   Hover over the Saved Views rail on the right side of the calendar.

3. Save the current configuration

   Choose Save Current View as New, then name it clearly.

Updating Views

When a saved view is active, changes to filters or display settings can update that view. Use the lock button when you want to experiment without changing the saved version.
