Calendar Views in Lightning Experience

Your calendar displays all events that you own in Salesforce on the My Events Calendar. Calendars that you create from a Salesforce object display data in date fields as calendar items. View, create, and edit your events in a day, week, or month view. You can also see any calendars shared by colleagues that you’ve added to your view.

View Your Calendar

Access calendar views by:

  • Choosing the Calendar page from the navigation menu.
  • Opening a related event on a record’s activity timeline. (If your record doesn’t display the activity timeline, ask your Salesforce admin to customize your page layout.)

When you click an event that you have permission to access, an overlay displays a preview with event details. Your Salesforce admin configures the content of the overlays.

Grid Views

Calendar grid views display events in several ways.

  • Current date or any date that you choose. You select how the calendar displays.

    • One column for each selected calendar to compare available times
  • One week at a time
