## Calendar overview
|
|
|
|
To display the calendar in a project, the module **Calendar** needs to be activated in the [project settings](./project-admin-guide/#activate-modules).
|
|
|
|
When you open the calendar, all work packages within the current project are displayed on the calender, displaying the title of the work package. The colors represent the different [work package types](./system-admin-guide/#work-package-types).
|
|
|
|
The current month is automatically selected. You can change the date range between month or week and navigate through the views with the arrows on the left. The **today** button brings you back to the current date.
|
|
|
|
Hovering over one item displays more information to a work package, such as the type, status, start and finish date, assignee and priority, as well as the project to which the work package belongs.
|
|
|
|
Click on one item to open the work package details or to edit an item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Filters in calendar
|
|
|
|
You can filter the work packages in the calendar view by adding any number of filters, e.g. *Author*, *Due Date*, *Priority*, *Assignee*, etc.
|
|
|
|
Click the **Filter** button on the top right above the calendar to open the filter details.
|
|
|
|
To add another filter criteria, select the drop down next to **+ Add filter** and choose a filter criteria.
|
|
|
|
The number of different filter criteria is displayed on the filter button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also display the calendar on the dashboard in the [project overview page](#project-overview).
|
|
|
|
## Zen mode
|
|
|
|
You can display the calendar in a full screen view to eliminate header and project menu and work distraction free.
|
|
|
|
Click the **Activate zen mode** button on the top of the calendar.
|
|
|
|
Click Excape (Esc) to leave the Zen mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Project overarching calendar
|
|
|
|
It is possible to display the work packages from more than one project in the calendar. However, these projects need to be sub-projects of the current project.
|
|
|
|
Open the filter and select subproject as filter criteria.
|
|
|
|
Choose the sub-projects which you also want to display in the calendar view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is not possible to add work packages from projects which are not in a project hierarchy.
