Tracking deadlines in a separate app or as a plain bullet list makes it easy to lose sight of important dates. This guide shows how to switch a Loop table into a calendar layout and how to connect an Outlook calendar event so your team's schedule stays visible in one place.
01Deploy a tracking matrix
Move your cursor to a free line in your Loop page and type /date or /task list to drop a dynamic tracking block onto the canvas.
02Switch to calendar view
Click the layout switching icon on the table header and change the display to Calendar view.
03Populate your milestones
Open the date picker to add your specific project milestones and assign ownership to each one.
04Link an Outlook calendar event
Open your connected calendar event on office.com and choose Insert Loop Component to bring the schedule into your page.
05Confirm the sync
Review your rendered layout and let Loop auto-sync the calendar components across all active channels.
Frequently asked questions
Can I switch back from calendar view to a table?
Yes, the layout switching icon lets you toggle a Loop data grid between table, board, and calendar views at any time.
Do calendar updates in Loop reflect in Outlook automatically?
Linking to an Outlook calendar event brings shared scheduling data into your Loop page, though updates should still be verified across both apps.
Can multiple people update the calendar view at once?
Yes, since it's built on the same live multiplayer data grid, calendar changes sync in real time for everyone viewing the page.
What kind of data appears in the calendar view?
It reflects the date fields from your underlying table or task list, so any milestone with a date assigned will show up on the calendar.
