You must have some fantastic boards with all you’re working on, we bet. Although they are comprehensive, well-organized, and informative, you can still feel a bit overwhelmed as you scan and examine everything each day. Good news: you no longer have to!
The Calendar View is a new board view that organizes your board by the date and displays your items in a visually pleasing calendar!
How it works
Depending on your preferences, the Calendar View & Widget shows the dates from your items in calendar mode depending on month, week, and day! You can see all you have coming up in one glance without becoming distracted by the things that can wait a little while longer.
You also have the option to display your calendars across numerous boards or just one (using a Dashboard). 🎉
Note: Only our Standard, Pro, and Enterprise plans have this functionality.
Add the Calendar View to a board
To reach the Views Center, click at the top of your board and choose “More views” from the dropdown menu. This will add the Calendar View to your board. Find the Calendar View from here and click on it to add it to your board.
By selecting “Board Power-Ups” in the top right corner of your screen, you may also add a new board view. From the Views Center, choose “Board Views” and then “Calendar”:

Note: To help you always know where you are right now, the date of today will be highlighted in blue when you open your Calendar.Settings and Customization
By selecting the cogwheel symbol in the upper right corner, you may access your Calendar’s settings:
- Choose time column
You may choose which time columns will be shown in your Calendar View or Widget if your board has more than one-time column (Timeline, Date, or Week Column). By choosing which of the suitable columns you wish to highlight in your Calendar from here, you may modify what is shown there.
Note: The Calendar Widget on a Dashboard is currently the only widget that allows subitems to be shown.
- Color your items however you want
The events on your Calendar are automatically color-coded based on the category they belong to. You may change this by selecting a color scheme from the dropdown menu! You may select to color by groups (using your group colors), status column (using your label colors), or people!
- Split View mode
With the Split View option, you can see your board and Calendar side by side on the same screen! Simply choose “Split View” from the Settings menu’s bottom list of options. Click “Fullscreen View” to see your Calendar in its normal format once again.
Time and date customization
The entries in your Calendar View may be viewed by week, month, or day. We’re looking at the ‘Month’ tab in the Calendar in the image below to see the tasks that need to be completed over the next month!
To skip to the next or previous month, week, or day, depending on which tab you’re reading, use the arrows. The ‘Today’ button will always take you back to the current day on the Calendar if you get lost.
