Calendar Views
Switch between day, week, and list views to see your schedule the way you prefer.
ReliefBooks offers three calendar views so you can see your schedule in the format that works best for you. Switch between them at any time using the view toggle at the top of the Schedule page.
Week View
The week view is the default and shows a 7-day grid with your shifts displayed as colored blocks. Each block shows the facility name and the shift time, so you can get a quick snapshot of your upcoming week.
Shift colors correspond to the color assigned to each facility. If you work at multiple locations, this makes it easy to see at a glance which days you're at which facility. You can customize facility colors from the facility settings.
Day View
The day view shows a detailed hourly grid for a single day. Each hour is a row, and your shifts span the appropriate time range.
This view is most useful when:
- You have multiple shifts in one day and want to see exactly how they fit together.
- You want a closer look at the timing of a specific shift.
- You're checking for gaps between shifts.
List View
The list view displays your shifts as a simple scrollable list, sorted by date. Instead of a calendar grid, you see each shift as a row with the date, time, facility, and key details.
This view is great for:
- Reviewing a longer date range (e.g., the past month of shifts).
- Quickly scanning for missing or incorrect entries.
- Getting a straightforward overview without the visual complexity of a calendar grid.
Navigating dates
No matter which view you're using, you can move through your schedule with these controls:
- Arrow buttons -- Click the left or right arrows to move backward or forward by one day (in day view) or one week (in week view).
- Date picker -- Click the date display to open a date picker and jump directly to any date.
- Today button -- Click Today to jump back to the current date from wherever you've navigated.
Filtering by facility
If you work at multiple facilities, the schedule can get busy. Use the facility filter to show only shifts for the facilities you want to see.
- Click the Filter control at the top of the Schedule page.
- Select or deselect facilities to show or hide their shifts.
- The calendar updates immediately to reflect your selection.
Your filter selection is remembered while you're in the Schedule section, so you don't need to reapply it each time you change views.
Google Calendar integration
If you've connected your Google Calendar account in your Settings, your personal calendar events appear alongside your shifts on the schedule. This gives you a complete picture of your day so you can:
- Avoid booking shifts that conflict with personal appointments.
- See everything in one place without switching between apps.
- Plan your travel time between commitments.
Google Calendar events appear in a distinct style so you can easily tell them apart from your ReliefBooks shifts. They are read-only -- to edit a Google Calendar event, you'll need to make the change in Google Calendar itself.
