Calendar

The calendar view provides a time-based perspective on your production schedule. While the Kanban board shows pipeline state, the calendar shows when things are due — helping you plan capacity and avoid deadline conflicts.

Calendar Views

Month View

The default view shows a full month with episodes plotted on their deadline dates. Each episode appears as a colored bar matching its show's color, making it easy to see which shows have deliverables due on any given day.

Week View

Switch to week view for a more detailed look at the current or upcoming week. Episode cards in week view show more information:

Episode title
Show name
Current pipeline stage
Deliverable count

Day View

Day view lists all episodes with deadlines on a specific date, with full detail cards including description previews and quick-action buttons.

What Appears on the Calendar

The calendar displays:

Item	Color/Style
Episode deadlines	Show color, solid bar
Published episodes	Green, with checkmark
Overdue episodes	Red highlight
Scheduled publishes	Dashed outline

Cross-Show Visibility

The calendar aggregates deadlines from all your shows in one view. This is particularly useful when you produce multiple shows and need to:

Avoid scheduling conflicts (two shows due the same day)
Balance workload across the week
Plan recording sessions around editing deadlines
Coordinate with clients on review timing

Scheduling Episodes

Setting Deadlines

Set or change an episode's deadline directly from the calendar:

Click a date — Opens the new episode form with that date pre-filled
Drag an episode — Move its deadline to a different date
Click an episode — Opens the detail view where you can edit the deadline

Recurring Schedules

For shows with regular publishing cadences, the calendar helps you maintain rhythm:

Shows with a defined schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly) display expected publish dates as subtle markers
These serve as planning guides — create episodes aligned to the schedule

Filtering

Filter the calendar to focus on specific work:

Filter	Effect
By show	Display only one show's episodes
By client	Display only one client's episodes
By stage	Show only episodes in specific pipeline stages
By status	Show only overdue, upcoming, or published

Filters can be combined. For example, show only "Client X" episodes that are in "Review" stage.

Date-Based Operations

Today Indicator

The current date is always highlighted, making it easy to orient yourself in the month view.

Today button — Jump back to the current date from any point in the calendar
Arrow navigation — Move forward/backward by the current view increment (day, week, or month)
Date picker — Jump to any specific date

Deadline Warnings

The calendar uses visual cues to highlight urgency:

Red background — Episode is overdue
Orange dot — Episode deadline is within 48 hours
Pulsing indicator — Episode has pending client revision requests

Integration with Other Views

The calendar complements the other episode management views:

Click any episode on the calendar to open its detail view
The Kanban board shows the same episodes organized by stage instead of date
Dashboard "Due This Week" card links directly to the calendar's week view
Reporting uses deadline data to calculate on-time delivery rates

Tips for Effective Scheduling

Stagger deadlines — Avoid putting all shows due on the same day
Build in buffer — Set internal deadlines a day or two before the client-facing deadline
Use the week view for planning — It gives the best balance of detail and context
Check the calendar before committing — When a client asks "can you deliver by Friday?", the calendar tells you if that's realistic
