Calendar is a great way to view your tasks, especially if you work based on deadlines.
Hive calendar allows you to customize it to suit your needs.
Calendar View Range
For example, you can show your calendar in several ways based on your preference
Weekly
Monthly
6-week
3-months
6-months
Year
Plan your week by time
Select Weekly to see an hourly grid. Timed actions appear in their scheduled time slots, while all-day actions appear above the grid.
Select a time slot to create an action.
Drag a timed action to change its scheduled time.
Drag the top or bottom edge of a timed action to adjust its start or end time.
Weekend in Calendar View
You can also include weekends in your projects. To do so, you need to turn on Allow actions to be assigned on weekends in project settings.
Collapsed Actions in Calendar View
With too many actions, the calendar view can get pretty crowded. The Calendar View automatically collapses your actions but you can view more actions by:
Checking "Expand all cells" from the Filters
Reordering Actions in Calendar View
Users can reorder action cards in the Calendar View by right-clicking the action card and clicking Move Up and Move Down.
*This feature will only work in the primary calendar cell, which can only show 4 actions.
Prefer shortcuts? You can also move the action up or down in Calendar view by selecting the action and pressing Shift+Cmd+Up/Down arrow on your keyboard.
Show connected calendar meetings in Calendar View
View meetings from your connected Google or Outlook calendar alongside Hive actions in a project, My Actions, or Summary Calendar view.
Connect your calendar to Hive if you have not already.
Open a Calendar view in a project, My Actions, or Summary.
Open Configure view on the right and expand Display.
Turn on Show my connected calendars.
Your connected meetings appear alongside your Hive actions. Select a meeting to open its available details.
If Hide actions is enabled in a Summary Calendar view, connected meetings are hidden too. Turn it off to see the overlay.
For a dashboard, follow the Calendar widget instructions.
Showing connected meetings brings external calendar events into Hive. The one-way sync described below sends Hive actions to an external calendar.
Syncing Hive Calendar View with External Calendar
Hive calendar also comes with one-way sync to Google Calendar, Outlook and iCal. It shares your Hive actions onto these calendars.
Note that if an action is scheduled for an entire day, it will show up as an all day action on the calendar. If instead an action has a due date and due time, it will schedule the action on a 30 minute increment, ending at the time the action is due.
In order to add a due time to an action, click 'Add Time' on the due date picker and select the time you wish the action to be due.
