📅 Calendar
In 30 seconds
- A monthly calendar with your orders' key dates: creation, dispatch and deadline.
- It's in the side menu, in the Workshop group.
- It's view-only: dates are set in the order's Dates tab.
- All roles can see it, Read-only included.
In the Calendar you get an overview of the workshop's orders organised by key dates.
Viewing the calendar
You open it from the side menu: Calendar, in the Workshop group, below Production. It always shows the full current month by default. Use the ← → buttons to move to the previous or next month, and Today to return to the current month.
There is no weekly or list view; the calendar is monthly only.
Three types of events
Each order can appear up to three times in the calendar, once for each type of date assigned to it:
| Colour | Event type | Date it represents |
|---|---|---|
| 🔵 Blue | Created | When the order was created. |
| 🟢 Green | Dispatched | When the order was shipped. |
| 🟠 Orange | Deadline | The deadline committed to the customer. |
Each event shows the order number and the title, in the format #123 - Title.
Clicking an event
Clicking any event in the calendar opens that order's detail directly.
Adding dates to an order
Dates are set from the Dates tab inside the order detail. The calendar shows the Creation date, the Dispatch date and the Deadline; the order's other dates (payment and completion) don't appear. If an order has no date assigned for a specific type, it does not appear in the calendar for that type.
💡 Best practice
Recommendation: Always assign a deadline when confirming an order. The calendar becomes a visual traffic light of your commitments: at a glance you know which days have the heaviest workload or whether a deadline is about to expire.
Who can see the calendar?
All roles (including Read-only) can see the calendar. Orders cannot be created or modified directly from it — only viewed.
