Calendar

Calendar

Folder: calendar/ Colour: Orange #ef6c00

Event calendar with configurable categories — distinct from the Change Management calendar and the Tickets scheduling calendar (which is filtered to ticket work-start dates).

Views

• Month view with full grid
• Week view with hourly time slots
• Day view for detailed scheduling

Drag-and-Drop

In month view, drag events between days to reschedule. Updates the database immediately; no save button.

Categories

Each category has:

• A display name
• A colour (used on the calendar and in filter dots)
• Active/inactive flag

Events are filtered by category via toggleable colour swatches at the top of the calendar.

Adjacent-Month Context

Events from adjacent months are visible in the leading/trailing day cells of the current month view — so you don't lose context of what's next when scanning a month grid.

Contracts Integration

From any contract's view page, a Calendar button opens an inline modal pre-filled with sensible defaults (title from contract number + title, start date from end date or notice date) and the new event is linked back to the contract via contract_id. The contract view shows Related Calendar Events in a section below the contract details.
