The calendar gives you a visual overview of upcoming deadlines and tasks across all your matters. See what is due at a glance, spot scheduling conflicts, and click any event to jump straight to the relevant matter.
The calendar displays a full month at a time, with each day cell showing the deadlines and tasks that fall on that date. Navigate to the calendar from the sidebar or by pressing Ctrl + 4 .
The calendar displays two types of events, colour-coded for instant recognition:
Deadlines (Red)
Date fields marked as "deadline" on your matter types. These are firm dates that must be met — convention deadlines, examination response deadlines, renewal dates. Missing a deadline can have serious legal consequences, so they are the most visually prominent on the calendar.
Tasks (Blue)
Tasks with due dates appear on the calendar in blue. These are internal work items — review a document, prepare a response, follow up with a client. Tasks can be rescheduled more easily than deadlines.
High Priority Tasks (Orange)
Tasks marked as high priority display in orange to stand out from regular tasks. Use high priority for time-sensitive work that, while not a statutory deadline, needs urgent attention — like preparing renewal documents before the deadline date.
What appears on the calendar
Only date fields marked as Deadline in the matter type configuration appear on the calendar. Regular date fields (like "Filing Date") do not show on the calendar unless you flag them as deadlines. All tasks with due dates appear regardless of their configuration.Click any event on the calendar to navigate directly to the associated matter. The matter page opens to the relevant section — clicking a deadline opens the Fields tab with the deadline field highlighted, while clicking a task opens the Tasks tab.
Quick matter access
The calendar acts as a visual navigation tool. Instead of searching for a matter by name, you can find it by its deadline date. This is especially useful during busy filing periods when you know a convention deadline falls in a particular week but cannot remember the exact matter reference.Hovering over an event shows a tooltip with additional detail: the full event name, the matter reference, the matter type, and the time remaining until the deadline or task due date.
When a single day has more events than can fit in the day cell, a "+N more" link appears at the bottom. Click it to expand the day and see all events in a popover list.
This is common around popular filing dates and convention deadline clusters. For example, if your firm filed 10 provisional applications on the same date, the 12-month convention deadlines will all cluster on the same day.
