Personal Effort Calendar
The Personal Effort Calendar provides a centralized view for managing your effort entries across all topics, without needing to navigate to individual topics.
Accessing the Calendar¶
The Personal Effort Calendar can be accessed from:
- Explore menu: Navigate to Track > My Effort in the explore sidebar
- Track menu: When no project is selected, the My Effort option appears in the Track submenu
Calendar View¶
The calendar displays a monthly grid showing your effort entries. Each day cell shows:
- Individual effort entries with the effort type and hours
- Total hours badge for the day
- Holiday highlighting (red text for bank holidays)
Navigation¶
- Use the left/right arrows to navigate between months
- Click Today to return to the current month
- Click Add Effort to create a new entry for today
Adding Effort¶
Click on any day cell in the calendar (past or current day) to open the effort form. The form includes:
- Topic: Search and select a topic from the list of topics where you have permission to edit effort fields
- Effort Field: If the topic's category has multiple effort fields, select which field to log against
- Description: Auto-populated with the topic identifier, can be customized
- Effort Type: Select from the configured effort types for the chosen field
- Date: Pre-filled from the clicked calendar day
- Hours: Select between 0.5 and 24 hours in 0.5 increments
- Comments: Optional notes about the effort
Editing Effort¶
Click on an existing effort entry in the calendar to open it in edit mode. You can modify any field and save the changes. Only the creator of an effort entry can edit or delete it.
Deleting Effort¶
When editing an effort entry you created, a Delete button appears at the bottom left of the form. Click it and confirm the deletion to remove the entry.
Permissions¶
The topics available for effort logging are determined by your category and field-level permissions. Only topics in categories where you have write access to at least one effort field will appear in the topic selector.
