Use the calendar to see everything happening in your business — booked events, open quotes, tasks, payments, and more — across day, week, month, or agenda views. To open it, go to Event Schedule in the sidebar and switch to Calendar view using the toggle at the top of the page.

​
Switch calendar views

The calendar defaults to Week view. To change it:
  1. Click the view selector dropdown in the top-right corner of the calendar.
  2. Choose Day, Week, Month, or Agenda.
On mobile, only Day and Agenda views are available.
  • Click Today to jump back to the current date.
  • Use the back/forward arrows to move by day, week, or month.
  • Click the date heading to open a date picker and jump to a specific date.

​
Show or hide item types

The left sidebar lets you toggle what appears on the calendar. Toggle any item type on or off using the checkboxes in the Calendar items section. Your preferences save automatically.

​
Filter by location, staff, or resource

In the Filters section of the left sidebar:
  1. Select one or more locations to scope the calendar.
  2. Use Staff and Resources filters to narrow further — these are faceted by the locations you selected.
  3. Click Clear all to reset all filters.
The location filter only appears if you have multiple locations set up.

​
Block out dates

  1. Click Block out dates at the top of the left sidebar.
  2. Fill in the date range and reason.
  3. Save. The blocked period appears on the calendar in slate.
To remove a blocked date, click it on the calendar and select Delete in the slideover. Learn more about blocked dates →

​
Open item details

Click any calendar item to see its details.

​
Switch timezones

In Day or Week view, a timezone button appears in the calendar header. Click it to switch the displayed timezone.

​
Show service time vs. shift time

Events render with their shift time by default — the full window your crew is on the clock, including setup and teardown. Toggle to service time to show only the customer-facing window.
  • Shift time — ideal for crew scheduling and resource planning
  • Service time — ideal for spotting customer conflicts and reading the calendar at a glance
Use the service time vs. shift time toggle in the calendar header to switch.

​
Multi-day events

Events that span more than one day render across each day they touch, so you can see the full footprint of a setup → event → teardown weekend without clicking into the event.

​
Resource availability

Resource availability is displayed on each day to give you a snapshot view of which days have high resource availability and which days are nearly booked out. Learn more about resources →

​
Connect Google Calendar

To sync your calendar with Google Calendar, upgrade to Flashquotes Plus. The upsell option appears at the bottom of the left sidebar.
The calendar auto-scrolls to the current time when you first open it in Day or Week view — no need to scroll manually to find your next event.
