Make the Calendar View more Intuitive

Matt Langlois

We are using the Calendar view as our main calendar for our team. When we have many tasks on a single day, it becomes VERY difficult to identify which day is which as the number for the day is at the bottom right of the calendar and is very small and hard to see.
It would be ideal to have this very prominent in the calendar box (Month view).
In addition, it would be nice to see better separation on the different weeks/days as it kind of looks like a big blend sometimes.
Also, the "+ x more" is no very prominent either, so it's very easy to miss tasks.
Lastly, it would be nice if "Today" was highlighted a bit better, I find it hard to even find the current day easily. It should really stand out more and when you press "today" to jump to today's date, not just this month. It should flash on the current day so it's very clear which day is today (animation), rather than having to now scroll around to find today.

Please can the bug be fixed when if custom fields are showing on one task, another task if over multiple days can go behind it and not be clearly seen. For example on the attached the third blue task goes behind the green task and it's hard to tell without looking deeper that it's actually oer 2 days. Thank you

Harry Hodge

Please do not remove the ability to show custom fields at a glance without hovering over. This is such a good feature to keep.

Harry Hodge it's an essential feature for our teams. Despite wanting the scrolling capability, we won't be using the new calendar because it's missing.

Harry Hodge

Natalie Williams Exactly the same, there is way too much information for only one line. Vasil Enchev is this going to be a problem with the new calendar?

Harry Hodge

I don't know if this has been addressed but please can a button for "expand all" be added that stops the need for having to press "+ MORE" for every week? On the current calendar view if a task goes over onto 2 weeks and requires you to press "+ MORE" button it only shows on the first day and can get missed on the second week if you do not remember. I did make a request for this before seeing this request.

Natalie Williams

Harry Hodge agreed.

I also want all day/multi-day events to be visible by default so I don't have to constantly click more to see them.

RE: Highlighting today, I concur. I'd also like to add: please have a look at how Fantastical also very cleverly highlights the MONTH. It shows preceding days as well as the first days of the following month, and distinguishes the current month by drawing an outline around it. Everyone I know who has seen it has agreed it's one of those things that, once you see it, you want your own calendar to work the same way.

I would love have enabled / disable my calendars in certain views. For example - I don't want to see in a calendar view for content creation to see all events from my different google calendars. However, when I'm looking at a calendar view for time blocking - I want to see all events from my different calendars. Now I have to check/uncheck all calendars depending on which calendar view I'm looking at. It's super annoying.

Vasil Enchev bring back the ability to turn OFF fade tasks in the past. In 99% of calendar views, my team and I do not want tasks in the past to be faded. 
Also, why change the keyboard shortcuts for day/4 days/week/month? 
And why is there ANOTHER search bar when there's already one in the top menu (another bizarre design decision), then another search in the calendar menu, then a third search in the backlog, plus there's a keyboard shortcut to access search? How many search bars are really needed? And then why create a search bar that covers functional calendar space? 
We'd prefer the dates to include the month i.e., "Mon Sep 28." This new approach means you have to look in two places to get the date, which if you're just looking at the week isn't a big deal, but if you're planning or reviewing and scrolling through days/weeks it impacts efficiency. 
Oh and why are future recurring tasks now a Business plan feature instead of an Unlimited feature? You guys keep degrading plans with no notice; it's just a surprise that it's no longer included. It's atrociously bad customer care.

Vasil Enchev and bring back custom fields visible without clicking to view details. Removing that makes editorial calendars practically useless. 
Currently, we can see the publish time, platform, content goals, pillars, and production stages at a glance, which is immeasurably valuable. The new calendar requires you to click into every task to see those details, which would severely degrade efficiency. It forces two clicks and a scroll to get info that we currently see with zero clicks and no scrolling. 
If the new calendar view becomes forced, that will be the final straw, and we'll be migrating all businesses and teams to a different platform.

In Calendar view the day number is displayed at the bottom of the day box, this is very confusing. Would be much better to have visible the date number at the top, next to day text.

Same, the week number number to have displayed at the top of the column.

Vasil Enchev

We’ve completely redesigned Calendar view, and we’d love your eye on the new layout. Try the beta and tell us whether dates are easier to spot on your busiest days.

Jo de Serrano

There is another thread where this was requested in 2018 - come on ClickUp it is time this is implemented.

William Levasseur

I up vote this. The calendar is a joke. We need text wrapping. We need adjustable line heights (to create more vertical space for content). We need more info when hover. We need images. We need the calendar to at least be on par with the Kasban view.

Vasil Enchev

Calendar View v2 has richer task cards and a cleaner layout ✨ Join the beta. Which two pieces of information do you most need to see without opening a task?

Adding to the list of features requested in OP
+ Vertical auto-scale when packing on custom field toggles in W/D/4-day view. Currently, it's cropping important information when a task is too short in duration.
+ Manual scaling/zooming for hours as referenced in this post https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/zoom-hour-time-scale-for-calendar-week-view
