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.


Task Information

Each task displayed in the calendar shows its title along with the profile pictures of any members assigned to it, making it easy to see ownership at a glance.

Today's date is highlighted in blue.

Click the Today button in the top-right corner to quickly return to the current month, no matter which date you're viewing.

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 Create button

    • Start typing the task title

    • Press Enter to create the task.

      The newly created task will be added to the Doing list and will automatically have that day set as its due date.


Unscheduled Tasks

Tasks without a due date are available from the Unscheduled Tasks button at the top of the calendar.

Clicking the button opens a list of all unscheduled tasks for the current board. You can use the search field to quickly find a specific task.

Simply click a task to automatically assign today's date as its due date. The task will immediately appear in the calendar.

Note: If there are no unscheduled tasks in the board, the Unscheduled Tasks button will not be displayed.


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:

  • Unread - new tasks created by other users or tasks with new messages

  • 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.
