The Calendar is designed to streamline team scheduling and resource coordination. It allows users to view individual calendars side by side, making it easier to compare schedules and plan activities without constantly switching between views. This feature also facilitates efficient resource management by providing a clear overview of team members' availability, enabling informed decisions on task assignments. With its user-friendly interface and simple checkbox system, navigating and selecting the calendars you wish to view becomes an intuitive and hassle-free process.
To take full advantage of the calendar, follow these simple steps:
Accessing the Calendar
Navigate to the left sidebar menu and select the "Calendars" tab to access the calendar view.

On the right-hand side of the screen, locate the "Users" section. Select the checkboxes next to the names of the individuals whose calendars you wish to compare.
Viewing Calendars Side by Side

By enabling users to view multiple calendars side by side, it simplifies the process of comparing schedules and coordinating activities. This functionality supports efficient task assignment and decision-making, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively and deadlines are met.
