Choose the Fields on Calendar Events
Pick which event fields appear, and in what order, for everyone using a calendar view.
Every calendar view carries a field layout for its events: which fields appear, and in what order. That layout drives both places you edit an event — the quick-edit popover you get from a single click, and the full event window.
Open the fields builder
In the calendar toolbar, select Fields (number). The Event Fields window lists what the current view shows, top to bottom.
A new view starts with Start, End, All Day, Attendees, Event Type, and Description — plus Channel on the Master Calendar, where moving an event between Channels makes sense. Recurrence, Location, Idea Title Sync, and Reminders are configured but off, so a simple calendar stays simple.
Add, remove, and reorder
- Add a field
Select Add field and choose from the event's built-in fields and any Calendar Event fields your Channel has added.
- Set the order
Drag a field by its handle. This order is the order both the quick editor and the event window use.
- Remove one
Hover a field and select the remove button. This affects the layout only — it does not remove the field from the Channel or delete anything saved on your events.
- Check the result
Close the builder and click an event. Changes save automatically to the target named in the builder description.
Use New field at the bottom of the Add field menu to create a Calendar Event field and place it in the layout in one step.
What "removed" means in each surface
Removing a field never removes its value. The two surfaces just treat a removed field differently:
The popover is small on purpose, so it shows only what you chose. The event window is the full editor, so a field you removed is one click away instead of gone — the event still has its value.
Where the change is saved
The builder always names its target in the description at the top:
- With a saved view active, the layout is saved to that view, and everyone who opens it gets it.
- With no saved view active, it is saved to your own base calendar view and affects only you.
Fields that only make sense across Channels — Channel itself — are offered on the Master Calendar only.
Reset the layout
Select the reset action in the builder header to restore the default layout. Useful when a view has drifted into something too specialized, or when a field was removed by accident.
A practical setup
For a production calendar, most teams keep Start, End, All Day, Attendees, and one or two of their own fields such as Expected deliverable, then leave recurrence, reminders, and location off until a specific event needs them. The event's title and its linked Idea are always at the top of both surfaces, so neither needs a slot in the layout.
