Overview

The Calendar view in KanBo provides a visual, time-dependent representation of your tasks. This allows you to easily see upcoming due dates, track card progress and manage your workload. With this view, you can sort cards by day, week, or month. Switch between views quickly to get the most accurate picture of your schedule.

It can also help you identify potential scheduling conflicts and adjust your project accordingly. For example, if you see that you have two important tasks due on the same day, you can proactively adjust your timetable to ensure that you have enough time to complete both tasks.

The present-day is indicated with the different color.

Example: Zoom in on Calendar view with the monthly layout.

Only cards with dates set are visible in the Calendar view.

If you set a personal date to the card, it will appear additionally, separately from the card itself. Reminders will be shown only to the person who has added them.

Example: The reminder on the Calendar view with the list layout.

A calendar view is the best option to see short-term cards together. If your project is complex and the task requires much more time than a week or month, try the Gantt Chart view.

Calendar layout

There are three types of Calendar view layouts:

  • Month – standard calendar
  • Week – focused on a weekly period
  • List – day-oriented view

Example: The Calendar layout menu is located above the calendar.

The list is an interesting option. It has daily sorted horizontal card grouping. Beside each card, you can see its exact time.

Example: Calendar view with the list layout.

Coloring card frames

Cards can have colored frames. The color is determined by the first card label. You can enable this option in display settings.

Example: Card frames colored by the card status.

Adjusting your timetable

You can easily move cards and change their dates by drag and drop.
