# What is the difference between Calendar and Schedule?

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

When you're looking at Schedules, you'll also see a preview of the tasks and calendar events that appear on the Calendar, organized by person and by property. This makes it easier to gauge bandwidth.

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.
