Calendar Preferences
Calendar Preferences is where you tell ScheduleForward when you like to work. Days of the week, time of day, and how many days in a row — three knobs that shape the schedule around you.
Three knobs that matter
Most schedule conflicts come down to timing. Calendar Preferences captures yours.
Days
Rank the days of the week from “love” to “avoid”.
Times
Rank day shifts, evening shifts, and overnight (night) shifts.
Consecutive days
Pick the smallest and largest streak of days in a row you’re comfortable with.
Ranking your favorite days
Drag to reorder
Each day is a draggable row. Drag your favorite day to the top, your least favorite to the bottom. Saturday-fan or Monday-loathers welcome.
Save when happy
Hit Save. Your ranking carries forward to every future draft and scheduling run.
Time of day
The three buckets
Time is grouped into three buckets: Day Shifts (morning to afternoon), Evening Shifts (afternoon to night), and Night Shifts (overnight hours). Rank them like the days.
Mix and match
Night owl on weekends but day-shifter on weekdays? You can’t set per-day-time yet, but your day and time rankings combine for a strong overall preference signal.
How many days in a row?
Drag the dual-slider
The minimum and maximum days you’re willing to work in a row. Some people want 1–2 (short bursts, frequent days off), others want 5–7 (work hard, then a real break).
Common questions
How is this different from Shift Preferences?
Shift Preferences is about locations and tags (the “what” and “where”). Calendar Preferences is about timing — days, times, and how many in a row.
Does this guarantee I get my favorite days?
No — the system uses your preferences as one input among many. But the more you tell it, the better it can balance your schedule. Strong preferences carry more weight.
What does the consecutive-days range do?
It tells the system how many days in a row you’re happy to work. Set a small range if you prefer single shifts; a big range if you like long stretches and then long breaks.
