Overview

Fergus provides a variety of calendar views designed to enhance your planning and schedule management. These tools can help you effectively organise your time and streamline your tasks, making your workflow more efficient. Here’s a quick guide on when to use each view:

Day View

Use the day view for an in-depth look at busy days packed with activities. It helps you manage your time effectively and ensures nothing is overlooked!

  • Horizontal Day View - This view is perfect for businesses with large teams, allowing you to scroll down and view more team members at a glance.

  • Vertical Day View - This view is effective for smaller teams, maintaining a clean and easy-to-read layout.

Week View

The week view is ideal for organizing your workload over multiple days, managing deadlines, and rescheduling tasks as necessary. It shows a full week at a time while still providing event details, making it easier to handle overlapping jobs, coordinate schedules effectively, and plan projects that extend over several days. If you need to find a time for a team meeting, the week view allows you to easily identify open slots in everyone’s schedule

  • Horizontal Week View - For a clearer way to view multiple days, opt for this layout. It not only enhances visibility but also allows for effortless comparison, making it easier for you to plan and organize your schedule effectively.

  • Vertical Week View - For a more structured and effective day-by-day overview, opt for the vertical layout. It offers a clear and organized perspective that enhances your planning and productivity.

Both options offer distinct advantages, and many Fergus users find that switching between views allows them to adapt seamlessly to their needs and maximize their flexibility.

Month View

Our new calendar view allows you to view your schedule one month at a time.

  • Great for long-term planning, especially if you schedule jobs weeks in advance.

  • Instantly see availability and identify peak busy periods.

  • Find open time slots at a glance, then switch to the week or day view for detailed scheduling.

The Month View can become congested when you have a large team with multiple jobs scheduled each day. To manage this effectively, use the staff filter on the left side. You can select one staff member at a time or use groups to quickly toggle the visibility of multiple users. With these flexible calendar options, you can stay informed about your team’s workload and ensure that jobs run smoothly.

Tip: Start with the month view to get a high-level overview and find open slots at a glance, then switch to the week or day view to fine-tune your schedule.

Customise Your View

You can customize your business hours in Fergus to optimize your calendar view. This feature allows you to grey out certain times and days or completely hide them, maximizing your screen space. With this setup:

  • The day view adjusts to fit your screen, keeping your schedule clear and focused.

  • The week and month views display only your core working days, hiding non-working days like weekends, which provides more room to show event details.

Fergus offers a variety of calendar views to suit your specific needs. Whether you need a detailed breakdown of a single day or a broad overview of your entire month, we have you covered. Experiment with each view to find the one that works best for you and your schedule.
