## Prerequisites

Your Tasks object needs a **Due Date** field (Date or Date & Time type).

## Steps

1. Navigate to **Tasks**
2. Click the view dropdown → **+ Add view**
3. Name your view (e.g., "Tasks Calendar")
4. Click **Create**
5. Click **Options** and select **Calendar** as the layout
6. Choose **Due Date** as the date field
7. Click **Save**

## Configure Your Calendar

### Display Fields on Events
1. Click **Options → Fields**
2. Click the **eye icon** to show/hide fields
3. Drag to reorder

Recommended fields to display:
- **Title** — task name
- **Assignee** — who's responsible
- **Status** — current progress

### Filter Your Calendar

Create focused views:
- **My Tasks**: Filter by Assignee = Me
- **This Week**: Filter by Due Date = This week
- **Overdue**: Filter by Due Date < Today, Status ≠ Done

## Other Calendar Use Cases

| Object | Date Field | Purpose |
|--------|------------|---------|
| Opportunities | Close Date | Track expected closes |
| Custom Events | Event Date | Plan activities |
| Projects | Deadline | Monitor project timelines |

## Tips

- **Review weekly**: Start each week by checking your calendar view
- **Combine with table view**: Use calendar for overview, table for details
- **Set visibility**: Keep personal task calendars as Unlisted
