Details
The dashboard marketing calendar widget is a quick and easy way to share relevant communication dates with other users at your organisation, as well as assign and manage tasks, view upcoming sends and so on.
In the example below, you can see that we have two tasks set for a particular date. One is a design task to create an EDM, and the other is a scheduled email send. You can click on the tasks to view more details.
Dates with tasks are highlighted with a yellow dot and dates with email sends (either past sends, or scheduled upcoming sends) are highlighted with a green dot.
