# Calendar views

Five views: Day (single-day time grid), Week (time grid for the week with an all-day row and a now-indicator line), Month (day grid, the default), Year (twelve-month overview) and Agenda (a week-long chronological list rather than a grid. This is the product's "list" view).

## Where you do it

![Day view for Friday 8 August 2025, with an all-day bar at the top and a timed event running from 8am to noon.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/7abf596e-51a6-4eff-9a4d-2e1a28e8e294.webp)

Day narrows the same grid to a single column, which is the clearest way to see how long a timed event runs.

Year lays out twelve small month grids, with a count standing in wherever a day holds more events than will fit.

![Week view for 28 July to 3 August 2025, with an all-day band of event bars above an hourly time grid starting at 6am.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/9e88486f-464d-45d0-9f52-f0f5f3b96f98.webp)

Week keeps the all-day items in a band across the top and gives the rest of the day an hour by hour grid.

## Worth knowing

* The survey called the "By Page" colour mode unreachable. That is wrong: it is not selectable on the Calendar macro, but it IS selectable on a saved calendar's Color Scheme.

## Limits that apply here

* My Calendar sources
* Subscriptions per calendar per user
* Static site calendar export
