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 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.
