While Calendar and Schedules may seem similar, they serve different purposes in Nines:
Calendar = Time-based event planning
The Calendar is ideal for:
-
Appointments, events, and tasks that occur at specific times
-
Viewing day-to-day events across properties
-
Planning meetings, visits, or travel
-
Seeing what's happening at a glance on a traditional calendar grid
It answers:
“What’s happening on Tuesday at 2 PM?”
Schedules = People-based coverage tracking
Schedules are designed to:
-
Track who is assigned where and when (staff, vendors, etc.)
-
Show coverage per property or per person across the week
-
Understand bandwidth and availability
-
Identify who’s working where, who’s off, and how your resources are distributed
It answers:
“Who’s on property this week, and where is everyone scheduled to be?”
In short:
-
Calendar is for managing events.
-
Schedules is for managing people.
Together, they give you full visibility into both what’s happening and who’s handling it.
