Calendar View Issues

Nicole Hodges

Hello!

I am using a calendar template and when I select a start date and end date ONLY the start date shows on the calendar. Why is this? How do I fix this?

Example attached. I am on PTO from December 19th-December 26th so naturally I select the start date as December 19th and the end date as December 26th, however when I select calendar view, it doesn't show up on any other day besides the start date. Help!

Hi,

You have to change the settings in Calendar Settings (cog in the upper right in the calendar)

I hope this helps you!

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree,

Is there a way to create a form within this sheet for people to fill out their time off and it will automatically update?

Andrée Starå

You could add the link to the form in the Comments or Attachments field, and the form will also be able to select from the Forms menu.

Another option would be to create a dashboard with the calendar and the form side by side.

Would that work?

Best,

Andrée

I have no problem getting the link to the people. My problem is HOW do I create a form for them to fill out (their name, start date/end date) to then populate in the right fields on their own?

Here's the form I have ready, but it is only updating the bottom of the sheet and not showing on the calendar.

 

Andrée Starå

Aha!

It should populate show on the calendar if the right columns are selected.

If you'd like me to take a look, you can share the sheet with me or make a copy of it and share that with me.

I'll share a copy - what is your email?
