Calendar

What This Does

The Calendar gives you one place for every hearing, filing deadline, drafting block, and client meeting. It opens to today and switches between four views — Day, Week, Month, Year — so you can look at the next two hours, the next two weeks, or the rest of the year without leaving the page. New events take a few seconds to create, and every event can carry a reminder that emails you ahead of time. Built for Indian-legal practice rhythms: hearings get prominent colour, drafting time can be blocked, and client meets sit alongside.

Step-by-Step Guide

Creating an event

There are two ways to add a new event. Both end at the same New Event dialog.

1. From any empty time slot. In Day or Week view, click an empty hour cell. The dialog opens with that date and start time already filled in. End time defaults to start + 30 minutes — change it if your hearing is going to be longer.

2. From the top-right + New Event button. Click it from any view. Start time defaults to “now + 30 minutes” rounded up to the next half-hour slot — useful when you’ve just been told about a hearing and need to add it quickly.

3. Fill in the title, location, start and end times, and an optional description. Title is the only required field beyond the date and time.

   

4. Toggle Set reminder notification if you want an email before the event starts — pick one of the presets (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day) or choose a custom date and time.

   

5. Click Save Event. The new event appears on the calendar immediately and you’ll see a “Event saved successfully” confirmation.

Things to keep in mind when creating events

A few rules the New Event dialog enforces — knowing them upfront saves a few “why won’t this save?” moments.

• Events must start in the future. You can’t save an event whose start time is in the past. There’s a small buffer (a few minutes), but if you try to log a hearing that happened yesterday, the dialog blocks the save with a clear error. This is intentional — the calendar is forward-looking for reminders and planning.
• End time must be at or after start time. Zero-duration events (start == end) are allowed and render as a thin pill. Negative-duration events are rejected.
• Reminders must be before the event starts AND in the future. A reminder set after the event start, or in the past, is rejected with a message at the bottom of the dialog.
• Working hours are subtly tinted. 9 AM — 6 PM cells in Day and Week views get a soft primary-color background. This is a visual cue — anything outside is rendered against the default background — so you can scan a week and instantly see how much non-business-hours work you’ve taken on.
• Reminders are an entitled feature. Pro and Firm plans get them by default. On the Starter plan the reminder toggle is hidden — you can still create the event, just without the email.
• Editing a past event needs a future time. If you open an old event and try to save it without bumping the start time forward, validation still applies. Change the start (and end) to a future time before saving, or it’ll reject.

Switching views

Use the Day / Week / Month / Year toggle in the top-right to change how much of your schedule is on screen at once.

1. Day view is the default — your full hour-by-hour day with the mini-month and today’s event list in the sidebar. Best for “what’s next” and tracking overlapping items.

   

2. Week view gives you the seven-day grid Mon–Sun. Hearings, mediation, drafting, and meetings line up across days so you can spot a heavy afternoon or a free morning at a glance.

   

3. Month view is for planning ahead — filing deadlines, listed dates, and any block that needs a heads-up sit on the day they fall, with a +N more events link when a day overflows.

   

4. Year view gives you the whole year as twelve mini-months with density dots, so you can spot the long-term shape of your matters — e.g. a thin August before a busy October.

   

What clicking does in each view

The same calendar grid behaves slightly differently per view — by design — so you don’t need a separate “create event” button on a packed day.

Day and Week behave the same. Month and Year give the empty cell to “navigate to that date” because that’s what users want there — and put the create button in a small + on hover instead.

Editing or deleting an event

1. Click any existing event tile. The Event Details dialog opens showing the full event — title, description, start and end times, and location.

   

2. Click the Edit pencil icon (top-right of the dialog) to switch to edit mode. Change anything and click Save Event.

3. To remove the event, switch to edit mode and click Delete. Deletions are permanent.

Tip: opening an old (past) event in edit mode is allowed, but saving still requires the start time to be in the future. If you’re updating a finished matter for record-keeping, bump the start time forward by a few minutes before saving.
