Understanding the HomeCalendar

Overview #

The HomeCalendar is the centerpiece of your Group Home Dashboard. It provides a visual overview of all your performances, tasks, and availability in one convenient location. This guide will help you understand how to read and interact with the calendar.

Calendar Views #

The HomeCalendar supports different views depending on your device:

Desktop View (Month View) #

On desktop, the calendar displays a full month view showing:

• All days of the current month in a grid layout
• Events displayed on their respective dates
• Multiple events per day stacked vertically
• Navigation controls at the top

Mobile View (List View) #

On mobile devices, the calendar uses a list view showing:

• Upcoming events in chronological order
• Event details at a glance
• Easy scrolling through your schedule

Event Types and Colors #

Events are color-coded for quick identification:

Performances #

• Green – Confirmed performance (both parties have signed)
• Yellow – Pending performance (awaiting signatures or confirmation)
• Red – Cancelled performance

Tasks #

• Purple – Partnership tasks (cadence-based follow-ups)
• Darker Purple – One-off partnership tasks
• Orange – Client tasks (follow-up reminders)

Availability #

• Gray – Blackout dates (days marked as unavailable)
