It helps care team members manage their time and coordinate with patients. ## Calendar Views ### Day View Shows all encounters and appointments scheduled for a single day, displayed as time blocks. Hover over an event to see a summary; click to open the full encounter detail. ### Week View Displays the full week with all scheduled events. Use this view to get an overview of your workload and identify open slots for new appointments. ### Month View A high-level monthly overview of all encounters. Useful for scheduling planning and identifying busy or light periods. ## Navigating the Calendar * Use the **arrow buttons** to move forward or backward in time * Click **Today** to return to the current date * Toggle between Day, Week, and Month views using the view selector ## Calendar Events Events shown on the calendar include: * **Encounters** – scheduled patient visits or calls * **Blocked time** – non-patient time marked by you or set by an administrator * **Availability windows** – your configured working hours ## Syncing with External Calendars If your organization has configured calendar synchronization, your Welkin calendar can sync with Google Calendar or other calendar tools.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.welkinhealth.com/care/calendar/calendar.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
