## 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 with events color-coded for selected calendars
    - One column for each selected calendar to compare available times
- One week at a time
- One month at a time

## Table View

To see specific events or more events simultaneously, open the table view. Customize an event list view to suit your needs or use the predefined lists views.

- My Recent Events
- My Team’s Recent Events
- My Team’s Upcoming Events
- My Upcoming Events
- New This Week
- Recently Viewed
- Today’s Agenda

The calendar view displays up to 150 or 500 events in the following calendar types.

- Your own calendar
- An object calendar
- The calendar of another user (not available in Personal Edition)
