Your calendar in Manager Toolkit displays events from across the platform, each with a specific type that tells you where it originated. Understanding these types helps you read your calendar quickly and filter effectively.

What Creates Each Event
Most calendar events are created automatically when you use other features in Manager Toolkit. Here is a summary:
Catchup events appear when you log a catchup with a date, or when a catchup is due based on your configured cadence.
Meeting Note events are created when you record a meeting with a date.
Action events show when an action has a deadline set. The event appears on the deadline date.
Target events appear on a target end date.
Survey events mark when a survey opens for responses and when it closes.
Retrospective events are created when you schedule a retro for a specific date.
Reminder events come from reminders you have created with a due date.
Journey events appear for task and milestone deadlines within your journeys.
Google Calendar events are synced from your connected Google account. See the Google Calendar sync guide for setup details.
Colour Coding
Each event type has a distinct colour on the calendar, making it easy to see at a glance what your week looks like. For example, catchups might appear in one colour while actions appear in another. This visual distinction helps you quickly identify what type of activity dominates your schedule.
Filtering by Type
The calendar includes a filter that lets you show or hide specific event types. This is useful when your calendar becomes busy and you want to focus on a particular kind of activity.
