# How to filter the calendar

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** Nothing.

Narrow what the calendar shows by location, area, position, person, or status. Filters apply on the spot and are auto-saved per user.

## Open the filter sidebar

1. In the toolbar, click **'Filter'** to open the filter panel.

## Apply filters

1. In the **'Locations'** field, pick one or more locations.
2. In the **'Areas'** field, pick one or more areas.
3. In the **'Positions'** field, pick one or more positions.
4. In the **'People'** field, pick one or more people.
5. In the **'Status'** field, pick **'Draft'**, **'Published'**, or both.

The calendar redraws as soon as any filter changes.

## Clear all filters

1. In the filter panel, click **'Clear'**.

## Verify it worked

The calendar shows only the matching shifts. Reopen the page and the same filters are still applied.

```{tip}
The filter sidebar shares the same controls in the {doc}`/plan-schedules/availability/index` and {doc}`/plan-schedules/coverage/index` views.
