What it is
A seven-day time grid, from midnight to midnight, in 30-minute slots. It opens scrolled to 08:00 and draws a line across the current time. Each entry appears as a block showing:- the project name (or the description, if there is no project)
- the task name
- the person’s avatar and name
- the duration
- a Billable or Non chip
When to use it
- You think in blocks of the day rather than rows of a list.
- You want to spot gaps and double-bookings at a glance.
- You are reconstructing a day from your meeting calendar.
- You are a manager checking how a teammate’s week actually ran.

Type “calendar”
It appears under Go to.

Seeing other people

calendar.” If you cannot edit their time it says “(read-only)”.
The picker only appears if you hold
time.viewOthers.
Example
Priya Raman is checking how Northwind’s week went before approvals.- She opens the Calendar and picks All teammates.
- She sees Sarah’s Monday is solid on Website Redesign, but Wednesday has a three-hour gap.
- She switches the picker to Sarah Lin and clicks the gap.
- Sarah confirms she was on a Bluebird Coffee call. Priya drags out a one-hour block, attaches the project, and saves it on Sarah’s behalf.
