Use the calendar

The Project Manager calendar keeps tasks, meetings, milestones, goals, and personal appointments in one place. You can switch between day, week, and month view, connect external calendars like Google Calendar or Outlook, and factor in your team's availability.

Prerequisites
  • You're signed in and the Calendar module is enabled in your organization.

Open the calendar

Open Calendar in the navigation.

The calendar shows every event relevant to you. Use the sidebar to choose which content and calendars are currently shown.

Switch between day, week, and month view

Depending on how detailed you want to plan, several views are available:

  • Day: detailed planning for a single day.
  • Week: an overview of your appointments and tasks within a week.
  • Month: a longer-term overview of meetings, deadlines, milestones, and other events.

Show events in the calendar

In the left sidebar, you choose which event types are shown, including tasks, meetings, milestones, goals, and personal calendar entries.

Create a new event

  1. Open the calendar view you want.
  2. Hold the mouse button down at the start time you want.
  3. Drag across the time span you want.
  4. Release the mouse button.
  5. Project Manager opens the panel for creating the event.
  6. Enter the information you need and save the event.

Show and hide organizations

If you belong to several organizations, you can show their calendars at the same time and show or hide individual organizations via the sidebar.

My calendar (private)

My calendar (private) is your personal, organization-independent calendar within Project Manager. It's a good fit for personal appointments, blockers, and other entries that shouldn't be assigned to any organization.

Connect external calendars

Project Manager supports Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and iCal calendars. You can connect one account each for Google and Outlook; additional calendars can be subscribed to via iCal links.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar supports calendar events in both directions.

→ Connect Google Calendar with Project Manager

Outlook Calendar

Outlook can be connected and shown in Project Manager. You edit existing Outlook appointments in Outlook; bookings can be saved to an Outlook target calendar.

iCal

Additional calendars can be connected via iCal.

→ Add an iCal calendar

Set a default calendar

In calendar settings, you can decide which calendar is used by default for new calendar entries.

Show team availability

If team members have shared their availability, you can see when they're available or blocked. The content of private appointments isn't shown.

Find shared free time

Choose several team members and the duration you need. Project Manager can work out the next shared free time from that.

Share your calendar via iCal

Use the Gantt view

The Gantt view visualizes scheduled items on a timeline and helps you spot the bigger picture faster.

Meetings can be created directly from the calendar. You can use participants, a location or online meeting, an agenda, files, summaries, transcripts, automatic actions, and the meeting chat.

Create booking pages

Booking pages let customers, partners, or other people book an open slot with you or your team. Pages can be shared publicly or embedded via iframe.
