The Calendar section displays all projects and jobs in the visual format of calendar blocks. Each block stretches across the calendar from assignment until completion, or until the deadline if the job/project has not been completed jet.
The section has four different calendars in it, accessible from the Ribbon: Calendar of Projects, Calendar of Client Jobs, Calendar of Corporate Jobs, Calendar of Freelance Jobs.
Each calendar displays the corresponding Jobs or projects for all clients. Double-clicking a calendar block opens the Edit window for the corresponding job or project.
Settings for the Calendar view
The following settings for the calendar page are available after opening a calendar:
Basic navigation - the Ribbon displays icons for moving backward and forward in the calendar by a single interval, and quick navigation to Today.
