Before you begin
You can access the Calendar App after someone has shared a view to you or if an administrator has given you access to the application.
Access the Calendar App
You can access the Calendar App from the App Launcher in Smartsheet or by logging in with your Smartsheet credentials. For information about using the App Launcher, see Access premium apps from the Launcher.
Calendar App at a glance
After you sign in to the app with your Smartsheet credentials, you’ll see a list of the calendars you own or are shared with you. In the Calendar App, you’ll see a view of calendar tiles that the calendar owner has customized.
From the Calendar App home page, select the name of the calendar you want to open. You’ll see your Smartsheet data displayed based on how the calendar owner configured the calendar.
Use the arrow buttons in the upper-right corner to move forward or back to different dates. To narrow the list of calendars you see, try searching for a specific calendar name or applying a filter to the list.
View or edit tasks
Select a task tile to view or edit the task details.
If you have Editor or higher permissions to the sheet driving the calendar, you can edit details in the calendar to update the underlying sheet.
Depending on your permissions, in the Details window, you can:
- Edit task details such as the task name, due date, or assigned user.
- Add comments and attachments if a calendar owner has allowed those items in the calendar.
- At the bottom of the details pane, select Open Row.
Calendars customized for you
Each calendar has specific settings, such as the default view (Daily, Weekly, etc.). However, when viewing a calendar, you can adjust how information is displayed to suit your needs.
Adjusting the Displayed Time Frame
Use the time-frame button to display different time periods. You can select from:
- Day
- Week

- Quarterly
- Day-Month
- 454 Calendar (Note that this will only be displayed if a calendar owner has enabled this option)
Use the Today button to return to the current date.
Use filters to refine the calendar
You can use filters to refine how information is displayed in a calendar. For example, you can use filters to display overdue tasks or those tasks assigned to a specific person. Select the Filter icon at the top of the calendar to apply, create, edit, or delete filters in the calendar.

- Select the Filter icon and select the New Filter button.
- In the Filter form, select the conditions that you want to apply to the data in view and then select Apply to see the filter results.
- (Optional) Name the filter to make it easy for you to tell the filters apart. The filter will be saved as an Unnamed Filter if you do not provide a name.

The form's title will display the filter's name that you’re about to modify. Verify the title to ensure that you’re modifying the correct filter. - In the Filter form, update the conditions as desired and select Apply.
