The Calendar

The Calendar provides a customisable overview of what's going on. You can specify what to see by filtering the content. By saving Calendar filters, you can build alternative views to meet different needs in your working day. There are three types of content that can be displayed:

• Events
  • This can be anything from a meeting to a holiday. Select "New event" to add one and specify its name, description, time and duration.
  • The examples in dark blue below are events.
• Project deadlines
  • Typically, these would be projects you are responsible for.
  • The examples in dark green below are project deadlines. 
  • Clicking on an item will take you to the project information page.
• Job delivery dates. These can be:
  • Jobs assigned to you.
  • Jobs matching the job filter.
  • The examples in light blue below are job delivery dates.
  • Clicking on an item will show a list of matching jobs for that specific time. 

Customising your calendar view

When the Calendar filters are combined with Project filters and Job filters, they become an even more powerful and agile tool.  Some examples:

• Your basic todo list:
  • By selecting "My projects" under Project deadlines and "My jobs" under Job deadlines, you can easily keep tabs of everything with your name on it.
• Projects that you manage and specific kinds of jobs
  •  If you instead select "Based on job filter" under Job deadlines, you can filter out jobs that meet certain criteria. 
  • You might, for example, only want to see what's going on with a certain type of job (like Template creation), or within a group of target languages. 
• Jobs on selected projects
  • By combining a stored project filter (limiting which projects to view) with a joblist filter, you create a tailor-made view that meets your exact requirements. 
• Or many views, conveniently available:
  • Select "Save filter" to store your current settings as a named preset.
  • Select "Load filter" to toggle between saved filters.
