How to set your calendar preferences

How to set your calendar preferences#

For: Manager | Shift worker | Admin You’ll need: Nothing.

You’ll set how the schedule calendar looks and behaves for you — which day the week starts on, how assignment names are rendered, the visible hour range, and how strict the validation messages are.

Open your settings#

  1. Open the account dropdown (top-right) and click ‘Settings’.

  2. Find the ‘Calendar preferences’ section.

Pick the first day of the week#

  1. Open the ‘First day of week’ dropdown.

  2. Choose the day the schedule grid should start on (typically ‘Monday’ in DACH, ‘Sunday’ in the US).

Choose how assignment names are rendered#

  1. Open the ‘Assignment person rendering’ dropdown.

  2. Choose:

    • ‘Avatar’ — show the person’s avatar (compact, good for dense schedules).

    • ‘Name list’ — show first and last names (better for printing or low-density views).

Set the world-clock default#

  1. Open the ‘World clock default’ dropdown.

  2. Choose the timezone shown by default in the world clock widget.

Set the visible hour range#

The schedule grid only renders the hours you actually work in. Two fields control the range:

  1. In the ‘Slot min time’ field, enter the earliest hour to show (for example ‘06:00’).

  2. In the ‘Slot max time’ field, enter the latest hour to show (for example ‘22:00’).

Choose validation strictness#

Validation messages tell you when something violates a work rule, break rule, or assignment constraint. Two settings control how loud they are:

  1. In the ‘Tooltip validation level’ dropdown, choose what shows up on hover (errors only, errors + warnings, or everything).

  2. In the ‘Shift validation level’ dropdown, choose what blocks saving (errors only, errors + warnings, or everything).

Save#

Click ‘Save’.

Verify it worked#

Open the schedule. The grid starts on the day you picked, only the chosen hour range is visible, and assignments show as avatars or names per your choice.
