Configure Calendar Event Quick Edit Popovers

Clicking a Calendar Event opens a compact quick-edit popover. You can decide which fields appear there and what order they use, so the team sees the details it changes most without opening the full editor.

Expand

Open the popover field builder

In the calendar toolbar, select Fields (number). The Edit Event Popover window lists the fields currently shown.

Add, remove, and reorder fields

1. Add a field

   Select Add field, search the available base and Calendar Event custom fields, then choose one.

2. Reorder the popover

   Drag a visible field by its handle. The top-to-bottom order here becomes the order in quick edit.

3. Remove clutter

   Hover a visible field and select the remove button. This only removes it from quick edit; it does not hide the base field or delete a custom field.

4. Check the result

   Close the builder and click an event. Changes save automatically to the target shown in the builder description.

The New custom field action at the bottom of the Add field menu creates a Calendar Event field, then makes it available to the popover.

Master and Channel calendars

Popover configuration follows the active calendar view. A saved view can carry its own field layout; otherwise the calendar uses its broader default configuration. The builder tells you exactly where the change will be saved.

Some fields only make sense on the Master Calendar and are omitted from a Channel calendar's available list.

Reset the layout

Select the reset action in the builder header to restore the default popover fields. This is useful when a saved view has become too specialized or important fields were removed accidentally.

A practical setup

For a production calendar, start with Title, Event type, Start, End, Linked Idea, Assignees, and one or two custom fields such as Expected deliverable. Leave recurrence, detailed notes, and less common settings in the full editor.
