Using the New Calendar: Views, Navigation and Columns Praxis Desk

The new calendar gives you flexible views, redesigned navigation, and customizable column grouping.

Where do I find the new calendar?

Enable the new calendar under Settings → Company → Calendar and appointments → General in the Calendar Version section.

Prerequisites

• You have activated the new calendar: Settings → Company → Calendar and appointments → General, section Calendar Version, toggle Use new calendar.
• The change takes effect the next time you reload the page.

Switch views

1. Click one of the view buttons at the top of the calendar: Day, 3 Days, Work Week, Week, Month, or List.
2. The calendar switches to the selected view immediately.

Change column grouping

1. Click the grouping switcher at the top of the calendar.
2. Choose an option: All, Practitioners, Resources, or Locations.
3. The calendar columns rearrange accordingly.

Navigate dates and periods

The left sidebar contains the date navigation:

1. Click Back or Forward to jump to the previous or next period.
2. Click Today to return to the current period.
3. Click any date in the mini-month to jump directly to that date.

Collapse and expand the sidebar

1. Click the arrow icon on the left edge of the calendar.
2. The sidebar collapses or expands.

For more sidebar features (quick search, filters) see the article [Sidebar, Quick Search and Filters].

Set the visible time range

1. Drag the time-range slider at the bottom of the sidebar to narrow or expand the displayed time range.
2. Click Save as default to keep this setting permanently.

Note: The saved time range applies to your account and is automatically restored the next time you open the calendar. For more ways to save views, see the article [Save and Set Calendar Views as Default].

Move an appointment by drag & drop

1. Click an appointment in the calendar and hold the mouse button.
2. Drag it to the desired time slot or a different column.
3. Release the mouse button.
4. A confirmation dialog appears. Review the new time and confirm with Apply or cancel with Cancel.

Note: Use the [Find Free Slots in the Calendar] feature to quickly spot available slots before moving an appointment.

Automatic updates for appointments

The calendar updates automatically as soon as appointments are created, changed, or deleted, without any manual reload. This applies to appointments in all columns and companies currently shown in the calendar.

Only appointments within the currently visible time range appear automatically. Deleted appointments disappear from the calendar right away.

Note: If the live connection drops briefly, for example because the tab was in the background for a long time, a single change can arrive with a delay. As soon as you return to the window or tab, the calendar automatically reloads.

Common issues
