Calendar gives you five ways to look at your events. Month is the default, and you can switch whenever you like.

  • Day shows a single day as a time grid.

  • Week shows the week as a time grid, with an all-day row across the top and a line marking the current time.

  • Month shows a grid of days. This is the default.

  • Year gives you an overview of all twelve months.

  • Agenda lists a week of events in date order rather than as a grid. If you're used to a "list" view in other calendar tools, this is it.

Day view for Friday 8 August 2025, with an all day event at the top and a timed event running from 8am to noon
Day view narrows the grid to a single column, the clearest way to see how long a timed event runs.
Week view for 28 July to 3 August 2025, with a band of all day events above an hourly time grid starting at 6am
Week view keeps all-day events in a band across the top, with an hour-by-hour grid underneath.
Year view for 2025 showing month grids for July to October, with plus more labels on the busier days
Year view lays out small month grids. Where a day holds more events than will fit, a count such as +3 more stands in.

#Where you do it

Task

Where

Show the dates already on a page as a calendar

Page editor → insert "Calendar (Capable)" (Suite) or "Calendar macro (Capable)" (standalone)

Point a page calendar at a shared, saved calendar

Calendar macro settings → Content tab → Source

Choose the view the macro opens in

Calendar macro settings → Content tab → Display → View

Calendar macro Content tab with Source set to a saved calendar called Boston TZ and Event editing switched on
Leave Source empty to show the dates already on the page, or pick a saved calendar to show that instead.
Calendar macro Display settings with View options Day, Week, Month, Year and Agenda, and Month selected
The View row at the top of Display sets the view your readers see first. Month is selected by default.

What it does

Calendar subscriptions

Confluence settings → Capable (Capable Calendar in the standalone app) → Features

"Let users subscribe to Capable calendars from Google, Apple, or Outlook via a personal iCal feed. Turn off to disable subscriptions for all users." You'll only see it when your Capable app includes Calendar.

Calendar (global settings tab)

Confluence settings → Capable → Calendar

A card called "Calendar subscriptions" lists the personal iCal feed links your users have generated, with the user, calendar, status and created date. Use Previous and Next to page through. Only Confluence administrators can see the list.

Calendar visibility in a space

Space settings → Capable → capability list → Calendar

Auto shows Calendar where it's relevant. In the Suite, that means only on pages where Capable has already found dates. Always turns Calendar on for the whole space. Never hides it there.

#Worth knowing

  • You can't colour events By Page on the Calendar macro, but you can choose By Page in a saved calendar's Color Scheme setting.

#Limits that apply here

  • My Calendar sources

  • Subscriptions per calendar per user

  • Static site calendar export
