Calendars in Cynoia help you organize events, meetings, and reminders across your workspace.

You can create multiple calendars to separate personal schedules, team planning, or specific workflows.

What Is a Calendar in Cynoia?

A calendar is a container for events.

Each calendar:

• Has its own color

• Can be shown or hidden

• Can be personal or shared

• Can include meetings, reminders, and project-related events

You can manage multiple calendars at the same time.

Creating a New Calendar

You can create custom calendars directly from the Calendar view.

Steps to create a calendar

1. Open Calendar from the left sidebar

2. In the Accounts & Calendars panel (right side), click Create new

3. Choose:

   • Calendar name

   • Calendar color

   • (Optional) Description

4. Click Create calendar

Your new calendar appears instantly in the list and is enabled by default.

Inviting Members to a Calendar

Calendars can be shared with specific workspace members.

How calendar sharing works

• You can invite members when creating the calendar

• Or invite members later from calendar settings

• Each member can have a different access level

Typical use cases:

• Team calendars

• Department schedules

• Shared availability planning

Managing Calendar Visibility

You can control which calendars are visible at any time.

Show or hide calendars

• Use the checkbox next to each calendar in the Accounts & Calendars panel

• Hidden calendars do not display events in the main view

This is useful when:

• You want to focus on a single calendar

• You’re filtering noise from multiple sources

Editing Calendar Information

You can update a calendar after it’s created.

What you can edit

• Calendar name

• Calendar color

• Description

• Shared members

Changes apply instantly and affect all users with access.

Calendar Colors & Event Clarity

Each calendar has a unique color.

Why this matters:

• Events are color-coded in the calendar view

• You can quickly distinguish between:

  • Personal events

  • Team meetings

  • Project deadlines

💡 Tip: Use consistent colors across teams or workflows.

Deleting a Calendar

If a calendar is no longer needed, it can be removed.

Important notes:

• Deleting a calendar removes all events inside it

• This action cannot be undone

• Only users with sufficient permissions can delete calendars

Calendars vs External Calendars

Cynoia calendars work alongside external calendars.

• Cynoia calendars are fully editable

• External calendars (e.g. Google Calendar):

  • Can be shown or hidden

  • Are synced automatically

Best Practices

• Create separate calendars for teams or purposes

• Use clear names and colors

• Hide calendars you don’t need temporarily

• Keep personal and team calendars separate

• Use project-linked calendars for deadlines and milestones
