Boards: Navigating Calendar View

This guide explains how to use the Calendar view in boards to visualize and manage tasks based on their due dates.

Written by Denitsa Zhelyazkova

Boards in Kitchen offer three different views — Kanban, Table, and Calendar — allowing you to manage your work in the way that suits you best. This article focuses on the Calendar view.

We’ve covered the Kanban view here and the Table view here.

The Calendar view lets you see your tasks displayed in a monthly layout based on their due dates, making it easier to plan ahead, track deadlines, and stay organized at a glance.

Today's date is highlighted in blue.

Use the arrows at the top of the calendar to switch between previous and upcoming months.


Task Аctions

When you hover over a date in the calendar, additional actions and task information become available.

From there, you can:

  • Open existing tasks that already have a due date assigned to that date

  • Create a new task directly for that specific day. To do that:

    • Hover over a day in the calendar,

    • Click the Add task button

    • Start typing the task title

    • Press Enter to create the task.

      The newly created task will automatically have that day set as its due date.


Task Icons

Tasks displayed in the calendar also include icons that provide quick visual information.

These include:

  • An eye icon showing that you are following the task and will receive notifications for it (if notifications are enabled)

  • A message icon showing the number of messages in the task

  • An attachment icon showing the number of attached files added to the task

  • A subtasks indicator showing the number of open and completed subtasks within the task

Completed tasks with due dates are displayed with a strikethrough, making it easier to visually separate finished work from active or upcoming tasks.


Filtering Tasks

You can use filters in Calendar view to quickly find the tasks you need.
To access them, click the Filter option in the top-right corner of the board.

Search Tasks

  • Start typing in the search bar to find tasks by title

  • Results appear instantly as you type

  • Click the X icon to clear the search input


Suggested Filters

Suggested filters allow you to instantly narrow down tasks based on common criteria. Available options include:

  • Assigned to me – tasks where you are a member

  • Due today – tasks with a due date set for today

  • Overdue – tasks with a due date in the past

  • Repeating – tasks with a repeating schedule set

  • Incomplete – all tasks that are not in the Done column


Members Filter

Members filter allows you to narrow down tasks based on assigned members. You can choose from the following options:

  • Each team member has a checkbox to filter tasks they are assigned to

  • Unassigned – shows tasks with no members assigned


Fields Filter

You can filter tasks based on specific fields:

  • Due Date. Available options include:

    • Today

    • This week

    • This month

    • Is past

    • Is empty

    • Custom (select a date from the calendar)

  • Start Date. Same filtering options as Due Date.

  • Label. Filter tasks by specific labels assigned to them.

  • Custom fields. All custom fields for the board will appear here.

You can reset all selected filters at any time using the Reset button in the filter menu at the top right, next to the X icon.
