Calendar and Inbox

Calendar

Calendar shows every dated task, milestone and meeting across your projects on a month grid. Tasks sit on their due date (or their start date if that is all they have); milestones show as diamonds; meetings show at their time (click one to open it — see Meetings); anyone away that day is listed at the top of the day. If you have connected your Google or Outlook calendar (My settings → Calendar), your own meetings from it appear too, as quiet dotted items — only on your Calendar, never anyone else's.

• Choose one project or all of them, tick Only mine to see just your own tasks, and Show completed to include finished ones.
• Drag a task or milestone to another day to move it. A task with a start and a due date keeps its length.
• Click a task to open it.
• The chips at the foot switch between projects.

Your calendar app

You can see all of this in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook too. Under My settings → Calendar there are two subscription links — My tasks (yours, plus milestones and meetings on your projects) and Everything on my projects — with instructions for each calendar app. Calendars refresh every hour or so. Treat the links like passwords: anyone with one can read that calendar. For the other direction — your meetings into Think Projects, and your planned tasks written into your calendar — connect the calendar itself (see Your settings). Export PDF prints the month.

Inbox

Inbox is where notifications collect: mentions, replies on threads you follow, comments on your tasks, new messages on your projects, tasks assigned to you, and being added to a project. The bell in the top bar and the sidebar show how many are unread.

• Click a notification to go to the thing — a thread opens at the newest reply.
• Filter to Unread or Mentions, mark one as read or unread with the button on its row, or Mark all read.
• Which of these also reach you as a pop-up or an email is up to you: see Notifications.
• Snooze (the clock on a row) puts a notification to sleep until a time you choose — in three hours, this evening, tomorrow morning, next Monday, in a week, or a date and time of your own. It leaves the list and the unread count, waits in a Snoozed section at the foot of the page, and comes back to the top, unread and marked back from snooze, when the time comes. Wake now brings one back early.
