If you don’t see the ![Open Calendar icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/sales_productivity/images/calendar/inline_sched_cal.gif) **Open Calendar** link, ask your administrator to enable drag-and-drop scheduling.

1. Click the ![Open Calendar icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/sales_productivity/images/calendar/inline_sched_cal.gif) **Open Calendar** link at the bottom of a list view.
    
    A weekly view of a calendar appears below view.
2. Drag a record from the list to a time slot on the calendar.
    
    A popup window for creating an event appears. The event is already related to the record that you dragged from the list view.

- The ![Open Calender icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_productivity-264-0-0-production-enus/b2f6c36a-fa61-4a3c-9752-032ce1818a69/sales_productivity/images/calendar/inline_sched_cal.gif)**Open Calendar** link appears only at the bottom of list views for accounts, contacts, and leads.
- Drag-and-drop scheduling isn’t available for the Console tab, events that people have been invited to, recurring events, accessibility mode, or Connect Offline.
- List views that include drag-and-drop scheduling can take slightly longer than usual to be displayed.
- When you drag the bar in between the list and calendar to resize either one, the size is saved for all views in which you use drag-and-drop scheduling. You can resize the list and calendar at any time.
