Different Views in the Calendar

In the calendar, you can find all topics, stories, content, and tasks. You can see the scheduled editorial posts there at a glance. The following views are available:

• Day view
• Week view
• Month View
• Timeline view

To switch between views, click the switcher in the bar to the left of the calendar week.

The Day View

In the day view, you will only see the scheduled posts of any given day. To view today's date, click on the calendar icon to the left of the view selection.

The Week View

The Week View shows you all scheduled activities for a specific week. To jump to the current week, click on the calendar icon to the left of the view selection. To jump to the previous or next week, click on the arrows to the right of the view selection.

The Month View

To keep the overview in the monthly view, content is displayed in a minimized preview. Hovering over the content gives more insights, including assets, text, and strategic information.

The Timeline View

The Timeline view helps you maintain an overview of your editorial planning, even over longer periods of time. Topics and related items are linked in this view, so their relationship is clear at a glance. To adjust the time period, move the slider next to the view selection to the right (to decrease it) or to the left (to increase it).

The timeline view also offers the possibility to hide stories and content without an assigned publishing date. To do this, click on the calendar icon next to the filter.

Editing Options in the Calendar

In both the weekly and daily views, click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of a content to open the editing options. These include:

• Edit
• Follow
• Preview
• Share content
• View dialog tickets (highlighted in pink if available)
• Show analytics metrics
• Edit permissions
• Duplicate
• Delete

If you are involved in an approval process (status: approval pending), you will see two more options in the dropdown menu: Grant all approvals and Deny all approvals. After clicking on one of the options, a popup opens. Here, you can optionally leave a comment. Your response applies to all requested approvals within the content.

Functions in the Calendar

In each calendar view, you will find a row of icons in the upper right corner, next to the pink plus button.

These enable you to:

• Hide topics and stories without a fixed time period
• Group topics
• Change the view of the content
• Start PDF or CSV download
• Schedule drafts, stories & ideas
• Search results
• Filter results
• Create topic, story, content, event, or task
