The details your work records, as fields you define and filter by.

Nine types

Each field has a type, and the type decides what it accepts and how it can be filtered. Fields belong to the calendar, so every event on it offers the same ones, in the order you set.

Where a value shows

A field can be shown in event titles, in brackets after the name, so the grid says what matters without opening anything. One field per calendar can be shown under the title, where Where sits by default. Every field is listed, under its own label, when the event is opened.

Mark a field as required and an event cannot be saved without it. Mark it visible only to people who can edit the event, and everyone else is never sent its value.

Filter the whole calendar

Choice and checkbox fields become filters on the calendar toolbar. Pick Confirmed, or Not Paid, and every view narrows to the events that match, across every sub-calendar you can see. Search covers event titles and the text fields everyone can see, Who and Where included.

Filters and search only ever match what you are allowed to read. An event you see as Reserved never matches, and neither does a field kept to editors.

Change a field without losing its values

Rename a field whenever you like: values are stored against a key that never changes, so they follow the new name. A field’s type can change too, when no stored value would be lost. Turning a text field into a choice makes an option of each distinct value already stored, and every event keeps its value as that option.

A change that would lose something is refused, with the count and an example of a value that does not fit. The preview runs before anything is saved, and Save stays disabled until it is back.
