Go to date in calendar view

Joel Compton

Hey all,

I have one particular sheet that when opened in calendar view defaults June 2019 when the first item in the project is January 2021, this is frustrating because I have to scroll for a while to get to the date range relevant for the project.

How do I jump to a particular date?

Cheers,

Joel Compton.

I don't know how to jump to a specific date, but I have a calendar where I wanted it to pop over to today's date and read a way to do that. You have to switch the calendar to Gantt view then go into Project Settings

Then a dialog will pop up for Project Settings and you can open the Timeline Display and then check the Open to today's date.

At least then the calendar will open to today's date

Thanks, this was the base case that I really needed solved.

The general case of going to any date would have been nice.
