# Calendar Settings

You can make a number of adjustments to your Calendar in the Settings menu. These include how and when Notifications and alerts are triggered, what days your week start and end on, and how much information is displayed when you create a new entry.

To change your Calendar settings go to **Settings > Calendar.**

These settings include:

### **Day Start and End**

What time do you like to start and end your day?

Use this feature to make sure your Calendar is scaled for your screen size. Aim to get as many hours displayed at once so you do not have to scroll up and down to see the whole day.

### **Show**

You can adjust how many hours your work day is with this setting.

### **Show Appointment**

This setting lets you change the amount of detail you want to display. You can choose from:

* **Name Only** - Simple, to the point, and effective.
* **Name and Location** - This could be a Zoom link or an address where the meeting is taking place.
* **Name, Location and Details** - Each meeting has a details field which could be a description of the meeting or objectives you want to accomplish.

### **Start Week On**

Determines which day is the start of your week. The default is Monday, but you can set it to any day you want.

### **Show Week and Month**

* **Looking forward from today** **-** This means today's date will be the first day visible on the left hand side of Daylite. On Monday you would see Monday displayed along the left hand side, and show a total of seven days. On Tuesday you would see Tuesday displayed as the first day on the left hand side, again showing seven days looking forward. Which means on Tuesday you would also have visibility of next Monday. This is very helpful because as the week progresses you are able to get insight on the coming week.
* **Starting on first day** **-** This means when viewing your Calendar by the week, Monday will remain as the first day displayed on the left hand side and the calendar will not progress through the days automatically.

### **Collapse Weekends**

If your business operates on the weekend, then you want to display Saturday and Sunday full size, just like any other day of the week in your Calendar. If your business is strictly Monday to Friday, you have the option to collapse these days in Daylite so they take up far less space in your Calendar.
