Home Calendar view

Allocation bar
When you set up your Home Calendar, you specify the number of hours you typically work in a week (see Configure your Home Calendar view settings). Adobe Workfront uses this number to determine your total allocable work hours.
The Allocation bar is a visual representation of the number of hours in your work week and how you are using them.
The colors in the Allocation bar indicate the following information:
-
Grey: Number of hours scheduled for events from integrated calendars. For more information about integrating calendars, see the section Configure your Home Calendar view settings in Configure your Home Calendar view settings.
-
Blue: Number of hours you have scheduled for Workfront work items assigned to you. You can schedule work by dragging items from the Work List and dropping them into your calendar. For more information about scheduling work, see the Schedule work items in your Home Calendar section in Use the Home Calendar view.
-
Light Blue: The number of free hours available for allocation.
-
Red(not shown above): Scheduled events and work items that have exceeded the number of hours you have available for the week.
Due bar
The Due bar on your Home Calendar displays the items that are due for the week currently displayed, according to their Planned Completion Date.
