Using the Calendar

The Calendar is a single timeline for everything time-based in FyneDesk — scheduled maintenance, announcements with a date, and company holidays. Find it as Calendar in the sidebar.

One place to see "what's happening when" The Calendar pulls together dated things that used to live in different corners of the app and shows them on one timeline. Every item links back to where it came from.

What's on the calendar

Three kinds of items appear, each colour-coded with an icon. Use the legend chips at the top to filter any of them on or off:

Maintenance windows — scheduled work, like "Firewall upgrade, Friday 10pm." These are new, and you create and edit them right on the calendar.
Announcements with a date — any announcement that has an action date appears here too, linking back to the announcement.
Company holidays — your organization's closure days show as greyed-out non-working days.

Holidays come from your SLA settings The holidays shown here are the same ones set under SLA operating hours, so the Calendar and your SLA timers always agree on what's a non-working day.

Switching views

Month, Week, and Agenda (a simple list) — switch with the buttons at the top right.
Use Today and the ‹ / › arrows to move around.
On a phone, the Calendar opens in the clean Agenda list by default; month and week are there too.

Scheduling a maintenance window

Maintenance windows are the one thing you create directly on the calendar. Admins and agents can add them.

1 Click New maintenance (top right).
2 Give it a Title, and optionally name the Affected service (e.g. "Billing API").
3 Set the Starts and Ends date and time.
4 Choose whether it Repeats — Does not repeat, Weekly, or Monthly.
5 Add an optional Description, then click Save.

The "New maintenance window" dialog with Title, Affected service, Starts, Ends, a Repeats dropdown (Does not repeat / Weekly / Monthly), and Description fields, plus Cancel and Save buttons. calendar-new-maintenance.png

To change one later, click it on the calendar and choose Edit window — the same dialog opens with a Delete option.

Opening an item's source

Click any item to see its details. A dated announcement offers Open announcement; a maintenance window shows its service and recurrence, with Edit window for admins and agents. The calendar is otherwise read-only — it surfaces things from across the app rather than being a place you edit them.

How it relates to Announcements

The Calendar doesn't replace Announcements Announcements is your broadcast feed — post news, and people react and comment. The Calendar is a time view — see what's scheduled. They do different jobs and stay separate; a dated announcement simply shows up in both, cross-linked.

Frequently asked questions

Who can create maintenance windows?

Admins and agents. End users can view the calendar but not author maintenance windows.

Can I set a recurring maintenance window?

Yes — choose Weekly or Monthly under Repeats when you create or edit it.

Why is a holiday showing as a greyed-out day?

Holidays come from your SLA operating-hours settings and appear as non-working days. Add or remove them there.

Do tickets and their due dates show on the calendar?

Not in this version — the Calendar focuses on maintenance, dated announcements, and holidays. Surfacing ticket due-dates is a possible future addition.
