Health Calendar - Options and Views
Our online health calendar is a versatile tool to facilitate tracking your daily health events, and to review your tracker data in a variety of formats.
Calendar Tracker Option - All or Specific Tracker
You can view your tracker data on the calendar for
All of your active trackers, or for a specific tracker.
Use the Tracker drop-down to set your calendar option:
Often, the tracker option is automatically set on entry: for example,
if clicking into the calendar from a tracker, or from your tracker home page,
that tracker is automatically selected in the drop-down.
The calendar's data, its toolbar (shown just below), and date-cell
helpers are contextual to the tracker option you select.
Note: Some options, such as Appointments, are global to all trackers, and
are not affected by tracker option.
All: Your calendar displays
data for all of your active trackers, within the calendar's date range; Date-cell
helpers list All trackers, etc.
Specific Tracker Examples (assumes these are active trackers):
Select Blood Pressure and the calendar and date-cell helpers are contextual only
to blood pressure tracker data.
For instance and
(month cal) apply only to the
blood pressure tracker, making it simple to add/edit blood pressure for any date.
Similarly, select Sleep Tracker for a dedicated Sleep Calendar, Weight for the
Weight Calendar, etc.
Calendar Tracker Option - Access and Auto-Set
Often, when accessing the calendar from a tracker, or tracker related tools, the tracker option, and therefore the calendar, will automatically be set for that tracker. For instance, if accessing from the Calendar link within the Weight tracker, the weight tracker is automatically selected, and the calendar is dedicated to your Weight tracker.
Also, when accessing the Daily or Weekly Calendar from the Month Calendar, or vice-versa, the tracker option carries over, making it particularly easy to zoom into date detail for a specific tracker.
Calendar Tracker Views
There are 3 calendar views: month, daily, and weekly. Month view is the default, and where you'll land when you click site links for calendar.
Health Calendar - Month View
Easily view a summary of tracker data for any month.
In All mode, the color-coded date cells make it simple to
see when you've tracked, and how much:

If abbreviations are used, make sure to view the details window, outlined below, for full descriptions.
