Calendar App: What is the difference between "Ignore Weekends" "Hide Weekends" and "Show All"
In my testing:
Show All:
Ignore Weekends:
Hide Weekends:
One of these things is not like the others, and that makes sense. But Ignore and Show All seem to mean the same thing. Why have two settings? Very confusing in the wizard.

I just want to call out that I submitted a support ticket for this - @Michelle Choate 2 I think you're right about the functionality, but the support representative suggested that "maybe it didn't work." So, I asked them to confirm. They then told me:
"""
Apologies for the back and forth . As per our wider and senior support, the only article that mentions how to show or hide weekends is the one provided in this link: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476776-keep-teams-organized-smartsheet-calendar-app
At this moment, there isn't a direct way in the documentation to clarify the difference between "Ignore weekends" "Hide Weekends" and "Show All" I found a similar feature request in the online Community, here https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/135895/calendar-app-what-is-the-difference-between-ignore-weekends-hide-weekends-and-show-all.

Which is a link to my own post. This post.
So - the current COMPANY LINE on this issue is "There is no answer, ask yourself."

"Ignore weekends" usually means to still show them, but do not place events inside of them. "Hide Weekends" is just that - hide them. And "Show All" will show you events happening on all days of the calendar week.

Thank you for sharing the information, @Eric Helal
If so, Smartshet should update the Weekends menu of the calendar app.
