The calendar view
The month as a grid with every task on its due date: the view for seeing one day's load and rescheduling by dragging.
The calendar shows the month as a grid and puts every task on the day it is due. It is the view for load: it does not tell you how long something takes, it tells you how much lands on a given day.
How to read it
Weeks start on Monday and today is highlighted. Each task appears as a small chip inside its cell, coloured by its first label, so a day packed with one client is recognisable without reading a word. Up top you get month navigation and the task count.
Long titles get truncated inside the cell, which is one more reason to write titles that lead with the action.
Rescheduling
Drag a task from one day to another and its due date changes. No forms, no opening the card.
Dragging here moves a commitment
On the calendar you are not reordering a column: you are changing the date the client has written down. Tell them before you drag, not after.
Seeing each person's load
Filter by member and the month becomes that person's schedule. It is how you spread deliverables without leaving somebody with three of them on the same Friday, and how you check who has room before promising a date.
If you work with Google Calendar, it can be connected so meetings sit next to project deadlines. It is not on every plan: check the pricing table.
What the calendar does not do
- Only cards with a due date appear. Anything undated does not exist in this view.
- A three-day task shows on one day only, the day it is due. To see the whole stretch, that view is Gantt.
- It is not a place to edit. Dates change here; to touch the owner, the description or the attachments, open the card from Kanban or List.
And to see the whole picture
Kanban, List, Gantt and Calendar answer questions about tasks. When the question is about the whole project — how it is going, who is working right now, what is overdue — go to The project dashboard.
