Navigation:  Using Swift To-Do List > Calendar Panel

The calendar panel allows you to quickly see tasks due today, tomorrow, or on any other date or multiple dates. But it can also do much more.

 

It has been added in version 7.60 and is available only in the Professional and Ultimate editions.

 

The Calendar Panel is located below the to-do list tree. You can show or hide it using the menu View - Calendar Panel.

 

Opening and closing the calendar

The calendar panel is collapsible so it doesn't take space when not needed. You can open or close it with just a single click by clicking the "Open calendar" or "Close calendar" label below the tree. (If the label is not shown, display the calendar panel first using the menu View - Calendar Panel.)

 

When the calendar panel is open, it is always filtering the view. At least one day is always selected in the calendar. If you want to view your tasks unfiltered by the calendar, you need to close the calendar panel by clicking the "Close Calendar" label.

 

Calendar modes

By clicking the "Calendar Options" button, located left to the Close/Open Calendar label, you can change the calendar mode.

 

The supported modes include:

 

So, for example, if you switch the calendar to Creation Date mode, it will be showing only tasks created on the particular date (or dates) selected in the calendar.

 

Selecting multiple days

You can select multiple days in the calendar. Simply hold the Ctrl key while clicking the additional days to add them to the current selection in the calendar.

 

Or, you can select multiple dates by using just the mouse, by doing a drag selection. To do that, move mouse over any particular date, then press and hold the left mouse button, and move the mouse to the desired end of the date range selection. This way, you can select any particular week, month, or other time periods.

 

Customizing the calendar

Resizing: The calendar can display multiple months at once. Above the calendar is a separator (splitter) which allows you to resize the calendar. It works the same as when you are resizing the notes panel, or adjusting the width of the to-do list tree. Also, if you increase the width of the to-do list tree, the calendar panel will take advantage of the space and display multiple months when possible.

 

Font and colors: The calendar uses the same font, font size, font color and background color as the to-do list tree.

 

Adding tasks when the calendar is open

If you are adding a new task, and a single date is selected in the calendar panel, the task will have that date set by default.

 

For example, say that: The calendar is in the Due Date mode, it is opened, and today's date is selected in it. If you add a new task, it will have today's date set as its default Due Date.

 

This works only for Due Date, Start Date, and Completion Date calendar modes. It doesn't work for Changed Date and Creation Date, because these task properties are read-only.
