The Scheduling Calendar is where the flight schedule is built and where the Flight Coordinator will spend most of their time. It is where flight requests can be assembled into flights, or where flights can be created from scratch. It contains all the necessary crew and aircraft availability information so that good scheduling decisions can be made.
From any page, click on Scheduling Calendar on the menu.
Or if you have set the link as a shortcut, from the Home page click on Edit Schedule.

The center part of the page is the flight schedule. Scroll up or down to see days within the selected date range.
Change Day View to Week View using the toggle above the mini calendar.
Click Edit Range to change the date range. The calendar on the left highlights the selected date range in blue.
Clicking on a date in the calendar takes you to that date and moves the selected Range around that date.
