# Calendar Navigation and Controls

### Navigation

ShiftApp makes it easy to navigate and view the schedule throughout time. The schedule can be viewed up to 12 months in advance and up to 12 months in the past.  
  
Click the <u>Week</u> or <u>Month</u> menu buttons to change between the _weekly_ and _monthly_ view of the schedule.

### Display Mode

_Display Mode_ changes the screen display so that the page header and footer areas are hidden. This is useful for when displaying ShiftApp live in an office on a large screen or projection. Click the <u>Display</u> button to activate _Display Mode_. Click the <u>Display</u> button **again** to de-activate _Display Mode_.

### Compact Display

Shifts with a _Title_ and _Info_ normally have this information displayed on separate lines below the shift header.

On a busy schedule, the display of _Title_ and _Info_ can take up a lot of visual space. Click the <u>Compact</u> button to display the schedule with these details compacted on the shift header line.
