How to Use the Calendar in NextMinute to View Staff Schedules and Tasks

The Calendar in NextMinute is your mission control for knowing who’s doing what, when, and where. Whether you're a manager planning workloads or a team member checking your day, here's how to use it like a pro.

✅ Step 1: Access the Calendar

  1. Log in to your NextMinute account.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click on “Calendar.”

  3. You’ll land on a view showing either your personal calendar or the team calendar depending on your permissions.


👥 Step 2: Choose the View That Suits You

At the top-right of the calendar screen, you’ll see options to toggle between:

  • Day View – Ideal for a detailed look at what’s happening today.

  • Week View – Great for planning out workloads across the week.

  • Month View – Best for a high-level overview of all activity.

We'd recommend using the Week view here!

🔄 Tip: We'd recommend using the Week view here so you don't get too overwhelmed with the number of tasks going on each month.

🗓️ Step 3. To get the best view of your staffs schedules

On the top right of your screen, select Filters. This will give you a number of different display options, but we recommend to begin with;

  • Selecting users and pick out who you want to keep track of:

  • You can break this further down by their roles and particular job/task categories (e.g. status, type) if necessary.
  • When viewing your calendar, it will now break it down by user so you can easily distinguish what tasks and jobs they have in store for the week:

🔄 Tip: This is a great way for you to adjust and assign new tasks or jobs. Even creating things like annual leave or sick leave tasks is a great week to keep an eye on where resource re-allocation is needed!!
