To **see tasks and deadlines on a calendar**, the same records that appear on a board are laid out by date instead of by phase. Deadline pressure becomes visible in a way a column never shows.

## Why boards hide timing

A **Kanban** answers where work sits. It does not answer when work is due, which is a different question with different consequences.

- Three deadlines landing on the same day, unnoticed
- A quiet week followed by an impossible one
- Overdue work invisible among everything else in a column
- No way to plan capacity across the month

## What a calendar view should cover

- **Tasks by deadline**, laid out across the month
- **Subtasks by deadline**, viewed separately from their parents
- **Past months**, to review what was delivered on time
- **Future months**, to see what is coming
- **Filters**, narrowing to one person or one type of work

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open the tasks table in **Jestor** and add a calendar view.
2. Point the calendar at the deadline field.
3. Add a second calendar for subtasks, so both levels can be reviewed.
4. Navigate back to previous months to check delivery against deadlines.
5. Filter by responsible person to review one individual's load.

## Why choose Jestor for deadline visibility?

In **Jestor**, the calendar is another view over the same records, so a task edited on the board updates on the calendar instantly. There is no synchronization and no separate planning tool.

Because subtasks are records in their own right, they can be laid out on their own calendar — useful when the parent task has a single deadline but its parts are staggered.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I see subtasks on a calendar too?

Yes, separately from their parent tasks. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can I look at previous months?

Yes, past and future months are both navigable.

### Does the calendar duplicate my data?

No, it is a view over the same table.
