Visual calendar

The visual calendar in the Plan module gives your team an overview of planned and scheduled marketing activities, including planned, in progress, and completed tasks and events. You can monitor the progress of what is on (or off) track and drill into specific work to ensure your team meets its goals.

To access the calendar, click Plan and select the Calendar tab.

Planning or scheduled views

Above the calendar frame, you can switch between the Planning and Scheduled views. If you leave the calendar and return, you will see where you left off.

Customize your view

Date range

Use the Date Range filter panel option to adjust the date range, which will automatically sync with your header date range and vice versa.

Select Display to set preferences for Planning and Scheduled calendars. To view campaigns within the Visual calendar, click Show Campaigns. Your settings are saved for subsequent visits.

Set view to today

Click Today to center your view on the current day to focus and align with relevant activities.

Drag and drop activities

You can drag and drop tasks or activities within dates on the visual calendar to change due dates.
