Calendar
The Calendar gives you a clear visual overview of all individual lessons, course sessions, and room bookings across your school. You can switch between week, month, and day views, filter the schedule by teacher, student, location, or room, and sync everything with your personal calendar app.

Calendar views
TutorManager offers three views accessible from the top-right corner of the calendar:
| View | Best for |
|---|---|
| Week | Managing weekly schedules, spotting open time slots, and checking teacher availability |
| Month | Long-term planning, holiday scheduling, and seeing course start dates |
| Day | Managing daily room utilization and hour-by-hour classroom traffic |
Use the < and > buttons in the top left to move backward and forward, or click Today to return to the current date. The calendar persists your selected view and date in the URL, so reloading the page or bookmarking it keeps your place.

Filter the calendar
Staff members (admins, receptionists, and teachers) can use the filter bar above the calendar to focus on specific people or facilities:
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Select location | Show lessons scheduled at a specific school branch. |
| Select room | Filter by a specific room within the selected location. |
| Select subject | View lessons for a specific course or subject. |
| All Students | Filter by one or more specific students (multi-select). |
| All Teachers | Filter by one or more teachers (multi-select). |
Student & parent view
Students and parents do not see the filter bar. Students only see their own lessons and enrolled courses, while parents see the combined schedules of all children in their family.
Event colors
Events on the calendar are color-coded so you can distinguish them at a glance:
- Individual lessons: Displayed in the student's assigned color (configured in their profile), or the system default.
- Course lessons: Displayed in the distinctive Color set in the course settings. This makes it easy to separate group classes from one-on-one sessions.
Create or edit a lesson from the calendar
Staff members can add lessons directly from the calendar without opening the lessons list first.

Click any event on the calendar to open its details:
- Individual lessons: Shows the student, teacher, subject, scheduled time, duration, location/room, status, and notes. Click Edit to modify details or update the lesson status.
