How to set up a calendar view in Airtable?

Step 1: Open Your Base

First things first, open up the Airtable base where you want to set up your calendar view.

Step 2: Add a New View

Look over to the left side of your screen. See that "+" button next to your list of views? Click it to add a new view.

Step 3: Select "Calendar"

From the dropdown menu that appears, pick "Calendar." This will create a new calendar view for you.

Step 4: Configure the Date Field

Airtable will ask you to choose a date field for your calendar. Select the date field from your base that you want to use to fill in the calendar.

Step 5: Customize Calendar Settings

Now, you can tweak the calendar settings if you need to. Maybe you want to show times or hide weekends. You can find these options in the calendar view settings.

Step 6: Filter and Group

If you need to, apply filters to show specific records based on certain criteria. You can also group records to make your calendar more organized.

Step 7: Save and Name the View

Don't forget to name your new calendar view so you can easily find it later. Just click on the view name (usually "Untitled View") at the top and type in your preferred name.

Step 8: Share Your Calendar

If you need to share the calendar view with others, you can do that too. Click on the "Share view" button in the upper right corner to get a link or an embeddable calendar view.

Step 9: Adjust Permissions

When sharing, make sure to adjust the permissions on who can view or edit the calendar. This way, only the people you want to have access will be able to see or change it.

Step 10: Sync with External Calendars

If you want, you can sync your Airtable calendar with an external calendar service like Google Calendar. Just click on the "Sync to an external calendar" option in the settings.

Follow these steps to set up and customize a calendar view in Airtable effectively.
