Avonni Calendar's Time Spans let you configure custom calendar views to match your workflow. Instead of forcing users into a single calendar view, Time Spans give you control over zoom level, layout, and data density.

What are Time Spans?

Time Spans are viewport configurations that control three dimensions of calendar display:

  • Time Range: Single day, one week, multiple weeks, months — whatever window makes sense for your use case.
  • Layout: Standard month grid, week view, or timeline format.
  • Granularity: What header levels appear — show hours for day view, show weeks for month view, etc.

Common Scenarios

Here's where Time Spans unlock value:

  • Sales Reps: Create a "This Week's Closes" view to track daily activity, then switch to a 30-day deal forecast for pipeline planning.
  • Sales Managers: Build a 12-week forecast view for team rollup, then swap to a 2-day coaching calendar for 1:1 scheduling.
  • Customer Success: Use a 60-day renewal calendar for batch outreach planning, or a 14-day onboarding timeline for step-by-step tracking.
  • Sales Operations: Run campaign analytics across a 21-day window to isolate weekly performance variation.

Configuration Basics

Each Time Span requires these settings:

  1. Label: Human-readable name like "Weekly Close" or "Next 30 Days"
  2. Icon: Visual identifier for quick switching between Time Spans
  3. Duration Unit: Days, weeks, or months
  4. Duration Value: How many units to span (e.g., 2 weeks = 2 weeks of data)
  5. Timeline Headers: For timeline view, specify which date breakpoints to show

The Key Point

Avonni Calendar adapts to your workflow, not the reverse. Experiment with different Time Spans to build the views that surface the insights you need. Track what works and what doesn't — the configuration is flexible enough to accommodate most operational models.
