The calendar

Tasks, quote expiry, deliveries, installations and price changes by day, week or month.

The calendar puts everything with a date in one place: tasks and follow-ups, quotes about to expire, deliveries, installations and scheduled price changes. Plan the week from it, then work the day from the day view.

It shows only what your role can open anyway. Quote dates need access to quotes, and price changes need access to the price list.

  1. Step 1: Open the calendar

    In the navigation, under Work, choose Calendar. It opens on this month; switch with month, week and day, and move with the arrows either side of Today. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, and today has a line across its top.

    Each entry is labelled with what it is (Task, Expires, Delivery, Install, Prices) or, for a timed task, its time. A month day shows up to three; +2 more opens the day.

    The calendar's month view: previous, today and next, month, week and day, Everyone or Mine, the kinds to show, and this month's days with their tasks and quote dates, today marked(opens full size in a new tab)
    One month of tasks, quote expiry, deliveries, installations and price changes.
  2. Step 2: Choose what to show

    Everyone shows the whole team's dates. Mine narrows it to tasks assigned to you and quotes you own, and leaves out price changes. Untick a kind to hide it: Task, Quote expires, Delivery, Installation or Price change.

  3. Step 3: Open an entry

    Every entry is a link. A task opens over the calendar, where you can add a note or complete it. A quote expiry, delivery or installation opens the quote, and a price change opens the price list. Completed tasks stay on the calendar, struck through.

  4. Step 4: Work the day

    Click a date, or press D, for the day view. Tasks and follow-ups lists the day's tasks with Complete… on each, and on today anything overdue comes first. Deliveries, installations and dates lists the rest, and Notes written shows the notes your team wrote that day.

    Add task creates a task due that day. See Tasks and follow-ups.

    The calendar's day view: the install-crew task for Jordan Lee with Complete and Add task, and Riverina's delivery under deliveries, installations and dates(opens full size in a new tab)
    The day view is the working view: the day's tasks to complete, and everything else dated that day.
