Under **View Mode**, click **Calendar** if it is not already highlighted. In the calendar range row, click **2 Week** (between **5 Day** and **Month**). **Expected result:** The main area shows a two-week grid. Use the left and right arrows or **Today** to move forward and backward. Filters and Settings panel on Schedule showing 2 Week selected plus Show weekends and Day detail panel switches *Open **Filters & Settings** to switch to **2 Week** and turn weekend or day-panel options on or off.* Schedule calendar in 2 Week view with color-coded events across fourteen days ***2 Week** view balances planning range and readability—useful for transport and service managers.* **1 Day** and **3 Day** focus on hour-by-hour work today. **5 Day** covers the work week. **2 Week** helps you answer “What does the next pay period look like?” **Month** is best when you only need dates, not times. On **1 Day**, **3 Day**, and **5 Day**, look at the **ALL DAY** row above the hours for visits with no clock time. See [Create an all-day event](/docs/schedule/create-an-all-day-event). ## Hide weekends (optional) If your facility is closed Saturday and Sunday, hiding those columns gives you more room for Monday–Friday work. Return to **Filters & Settings** while you are in **Calendar** view. Find **Show weekends** with the helper text *Include Saturday and Sunday columns on the calendar.* * Turn **on** when you accept weekend drop-offs or events. * Turn **off** when Monday–Friday is enough and weekend columns waste space. **Expected result:** Saturday and Sunday columns disappear or reappear on the grid. Scroll across the two-week range. Busy weekdays should be easier to read without empty weekend columns. **Why this matters:** Managers make faster staffing calls when every visible column is a day you are actually open. Schedule 2 Week view with weekends hidden showing only Monday through Friday columns *With **Show weekends** off, the grid shows only weekdays—helpful when your shop runs Monday–Friday.* **Weekend setting is personal** Schedule remembers your last choice. One manager may keep weekends visible while another hides them—each person’s view can differ. ## Turn on the day detail panel The **Day detail panel** appears only in **Month** and **2 Week** views. In **Filters & Settings**, click **Month** or **2 Week**. Turn on **Day detail panel**. The helper text explains: *Show a side panel in month and 2-week views. Clicking a day updates the panel instead of opening a dialog.* Click any date on the calendar grid. **Expected result:** A side panel lists every event that day—times, vehicles, and event types—without covering the whole month. Click an event in the panel to open its details, or use **Create Event on This Day** when the day is still empty. See [Create an appointment](/docs/schedule/create-an-appointment) for the full create steps. Schedule Month view with day detail panel open on the right listing events for the selected day *With **Day detail panel** on, clicking a date keeps the month grid visible while the event list stays open on the side.* ## Create work from Month or 2 Week view **Empty day** — you may see **Create Event on This Day**. The form opens with that date already selected. **Busy day** — open the day list first, review what is booked, then click **Schedule Event** at the top of the page and pick the date manually. The app may not offer **Create Event on This Day** when events already exist. In **Month** or **2 Week** view, click the day on the grid (with **Day detail panel** on or off). Read the side panel or popup list before you promise a new time to a customer. **Expected result:** You see existing drop-offs, service visits, and holds for that date. Use **Create Event on This Day** or **Schedule Event**, then complete [Create an appointment](/docs/schedule/create-an-appointment). **Why this matters:** Planning views are for *seeing* capacity first—then booking work into open slots. ## What success looks like * You can move two weeks forward or backward without switching views. * Weekend columns match how your facility actually operates. * Clicking a day shows a readable list in the side panel (on desktop-sized screens). * Managers can spot overloaded days before customers are promised new slots. ## Troubleshooting **I do not see Day detail panel** The switch only appears in **Month** and **2 Week** views. Switch away from **1 Day**, **3 Day**, or **5 Day** first. **Clicking a day opens a popup instead of a panel** Turn **Day detail panel** on in **Filters & Settings**, or widen your browser window. On very small screens the app may still use a dialog so the calendar stays readable. **I do not see 2 Week in the list** Confirm **View Mode** is set to **Calendar** inside **Filters & Settings**. **2 Week** does not appear in Table, Whiteboard, or Progress views. ## What to do next * Search and filter across views: [Find and filter scheduled work](/docs/schedule/find-and-filter-scheduled-work) * Create your first event: [Create an appointment](/docs/schedule/create-an-appointment) * Read colors and icons on blocks: [Read calendar icons and badges](/docs/schedule/read-calendar-icons-and-badges) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
