Calendar View

The calendar view provides an alternative way to see your project schedule as a familiar calendar grid. It shows work items as colored bars spanning their date range and milestones as diamond markers on their target dates.

Accessing the Calendar View​

Navigate to Timeline from the main navigation, then click the Calendar button in the view toggle at the top-right of the toolbar.

The selected view (Gantt or Calendar) is persisted in the URL, so bookmarking or sharing the link preserves your view choice.

Monthly View​

The monthly view displays a traditional calendar grid with seven columns (Monday through Sunday) and rows for each week of the month.

  • Work items appear as colored horizontal bars that span across the days of their duration
  • Multi-week items wrap across rows, appearing in each week they span
  • Milestones appear as diamond markers on their target date
  • Today is highlighted with a distinct background color
  • Use the left/right arrow buttons to move to the previous or next month
  • Click Today to jump back to the current month
  • The current month and year are displayed in the toolbar header

Weekly View​

The weekly view shows a single week with taller rows, giving more vertical space for work items that overlap on the same days.

  • Same visual treatment as the monthly view -- colored bars for work items, diamonds for milestones
  • Use the left/right arrow buttons to move to the previous or next week
  • Click Today to jump back to the current week

Switch between monthly and weekly views using the Month / Week toggle in the calendar toolbar.

Work Item Interactions​

Tooltips​

Hover over a work item bar to see a tooltip with:

  • Title and status
  • Start and end dates
  • Duration (planned and actual)
  • Assigned user
  • Dependency information

Cross-Cell Highlighting​

When you hover over a multi-day work item that spans multiple calendar cells, all cells belonging to that item are highlighted simultaneously, making it easy to see the full extent of a task.

Click a work item bar to navigate to its detail page. On touch devices, the two-tap interaction applies -- first tap shows the tooltip, second tap navigates.

Milestone Interactions​

Click a milestone diamond on the calendar to open the milestone panel with that milestone selected for editing.

Hover over a milestone diamond to see a tooltip showing:

  • Title and target date
  • Projected completion date
  • Contributing and dependent work items
  • Completion status

View Persistence​

Both the view mode (Gantt vs Calendar) and the calendar sub-mode (Month vs Week) are stored in URL search parameters:

  • ?view=calendar -- switches to the calendar view
  • ?view=calendar&calendarMode=week -- switches to the weekly calendar view

This means your view preferences are preserved when bookmarking, sharing links, or using browser back/forward navigation.
