Every household runs a bit differently. Your calendar settings let you set the day your week starts on, the view PAM opens to, how long a new event runs by default, and whether tasks sit alongside your events. 💜

1. Open Settings in PAM.

2. Tap Calendar.

Start of the week

Choose Monday, Saturday or Sunday. This sets how the days are laid out in your month view.

Default calendar view

Pick what PAM opens to each time you tap Calendar. Schedule, Day or Month.

Default event duration

Set how long a new event runs before you change it, anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Handy if most of your events are school runs and quick appointments rather than hour long blocks.

Show completed tasks

Turn this on to keep finished tasks in view, or off for a tidier calendar.

Show overdue tasks

Turn this on and anything past its due date keeps showing up until you deal with it.

Time zone

This is the time zone your household calendar runs on. If you're the account owner, you can tap it to change it, and everyone in your household sees their events in that time zone.

1. Open Settings → Calendar.

2. Tap the setting you want to change.

3. Pick an option from the menu, or tap the switch to turn it on or off.
​

That's it! 🪄 Your change saves as soon as you make it, so there's no Save button to hunt for.

Labels group your events and tasks by what they actually are, like school, sport or appointments, so your calendar is easier to read at a glance.

Turning labels on

1. Open Settings → Calendar.

2. Under Calendar smarts, tap the switch next to Enable labels.

3. PAM has a look through your calendar and suggests labels that suit your household. Tap See labels.

4. Choose the ones you want to use.
​

Once they're on, that row becomes Manage labels and shows how many you have. Tap it any time to add, edit or remove them.

Show labels on events and tasks

Turn this off if you'd rather your labels did their work quietly in the background without appearing on every event and task.

📝 Labels are available on selected PAM plans. If you see a padlock next to Labels, tap it to see your upgrade options.

Do these settings change things for everyone in my household?

Mostly no. Your start of the week, default view, event duration and task settings only change what you see. Time zone is the one exception. It belongs to the whole household, and only the account owner can change it.

Why can't I tap the time zone?

Only the account owner can change it. If you're a member you'll see the time zone but can't edit it, so ask your account owner to update it for you.

Do my settings follow me across devices?

Yes. They're saved to your PAM account, so your phone, tablet and desktop all stay in step.

I can't see the Calendar smarts section

Labels are still rolling out and are only on selected plans. If the section isn't there yet, it's not available on your account just yet. Keep an eye out, it's coming.
