Calendar View Types

Learn about the range of calendar display options

Updated on May 20th, 2025

The Calendar View Type determines the basic layout of the Calendar View you're using.

The View Types menu provides a range of calendar display options to suit your preferences and scheduling requirements.

The three types of view are:

  • Time - Times are shown on the calendar and schedules are placed according to time.
  • List - Schedules are ordered on the calendar according to time but times are not shown.
  • Resource - Resources are displayed horizontally with schedules against them.

Use the interactive image or headings below to learn more about each view type.

 

Navigation Tip

The AroFlo Office calendar has been designed to adjust to a range of screen sizes. For readability, some calendar views have been designed with a minimum column width. Depending on the view and settings you choose, and the size of your screen, you may sometimes need to scroll, using either the horizontal or vertical scroll bars that appear.

 

 

Time-based views

Week

This view shows the entire week, without resources.
In this example, we've used the calendar settings to display weekdays and weekends, and times broken up into 15-minute increments.

Week by Resource

If you haven't set up any custom calendar views, the Time > Week by Resource view will be the one you see when you first use the AroFlo calendar. This view lets you include staff names and pictures.
In this image, a custom calendar view called 'Weekly View' has been created, and weekend days have been hidden.

Day

This view shows you just one day's events.
In this image, we've included the resource name (Matt Edwards) in the schedule tile. This can be helpful if you prefer a simple, clean-looking view but still need to know who will be doing the job.

List-based views

Month

This view gives you a quick overview of what's on for the month. Each event's start time is shown at the start of the event tile description, e.g. 7a for 7:00am, 2:45p, for 2:45pm.
 
 
 

Week

This view shows you a simple view of the week. As with the month view, there are no times on the layout itself, but the start time of each event is included in the schedule tile information.
 
 
 

Day

The List > Day view lists all the events scheduled for the day, for all the resources you've selected in your settings.
 
 
 

Week by Resource

This view shows you the week, broken down into a column for each resource.
 
 
 

Day by Resource

Resource-based views

Month

This view lists your chosen resources down the left-hand side and shows the whole month broken into days. The current day is shaded in a colour taken from the theme you've chosen for your AroFlo site. Schedules can be dragged onto different days or resources, and are automatically arranged by start time within each resource's day.
 
 
 

Week

As with Resource > Month, your resources are listed on the left-hand side, the current day is shaded in a colour chosen from your theme, and the week is broken into days.
 
 
 

Day

On the Resource > Day view, each resource's day is divided up into times according to the timespan you've selected in your calendar settings.
In this example, the timespan has been set to 30 minutes.
