Both are settings: the short form comes from an object, and the grid comes from an <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/hourly-calendar\/\">hourly calendar in a Planfix Planner<\/a>. This 1.5-minute video shows the idea, and the steps below set it up in a current account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Compact form to add events, similar to Google Calendar\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wemlrLNirFg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you&#8217;ll learn: a compact event form in the Planfix Planner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How an Event object keeps the form down to a name, a time, a place and participants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where to switch a Planner card from the full form to the short view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How clicking an hourly calendar creates the event for that exact time slot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How a list&#8217;s own parameters fill in the project and the assignee for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What changes once the calendar is synced with Google Calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to add events to a calendar in Planfix, step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1. Create an Event object<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to <strong>Account Management<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>Types of objects<\/strong> and click <strong>New Object<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/help\/Objects\">Objects in Planfix<\/a> are digital twins of a real process \u2014 a contract, a meeting \u2014 and each one carries its own form, statuses, scripts and buttons. Every account has at least one object, the standard task; an event deserves its own, so its form can stay short. The video builds the form on a task template: older accounts keep that option for backward compatibility, but Planfix now recommends objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Keep the object form short<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new object opens with a standard set of fields. Select the ones an event needs, or click the plus button to create a missing one \u2014 for a meeting, usually the time, the place and the participants. Drag fields to change their position and width, and group them in panels. Deleting a panel also removes its fields from the form, so move anything you want to keep out of it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Build an hourly calendar list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/planner\/\">Planfix Planner<\/a>, add a list and choose the <strong>Hourly calendar<\/strong> display view. The first item in <strong>Display data<\/strong> is <strong>Task dates<\/strong>: select it, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/help\/Hourly_calendar\">hourly calendar<\/a> shows the events themselves, by start and due date and time. Tasks longer than one day are not shown there, which suits events well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. Switch the card to the short view<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the list settings, the <strong>Use full form<\/strong> option decides what a click opens. <strong>Full<\/strong> opens the object&#8217;s full form in a panel on the right; <strong>Short<\/strong> opens a short card \u2014 the compact view you want for events. You also choose what that card shows: standard and custom fields, attached files, the font and text size, and where each field sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5. Add an event by clicking the grid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click an empty spot in the hourly calendar and drag the new box to the length you need: Planfix creates a task for that interval. With <strong>Task dates<\/strong> selected, the click sets the start and due date and time and adds no data tag, and moving or resizing the block later changes them. Dragging an existing task into the grid works the same way. Every list also has a quick creation field \u2014 type a name, press Enter, and the event inherits the list&#8217;s selection parameters, including the date of the block you typed it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6. Sync with Google Calendar, if you need it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the prepared calendar&#8217;s three-dots menu, choose <strong>Edit<\/strong>, go to <strong>Integrations<\/strong> and click <strong>Synchronize<\/strong>, then allow Planfix to manage your events. After that, the <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/integrations\/google-calendar\/\">Google Calendar integration<\/a> works both ways: tasks from Planfix appear in Google Calendar, and events added in Google Calendar appear in Planfix. Synchronization is available on paid and premium accounts, and the calendar&#8217;s selection parameters should stay as they were when you switched it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What an Event object looks like in practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say your team books client calls. The Planner list is an hourly calendar that selects this week&#8217;s calls, with the project already set in its selection parameters. Someone picks 11:00 on Thursday, drags the box to half an hour and types the client&#8217;s name \u2014 the event exists. A click opens the short card: name, time, place, participants \u2014 no description editor and no status picker, because the Event object&#8217;s form never had them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who it&#8217;s for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sales and account managers:<\/strong> client calls booked in the slot where they fit, without leaving the week&#8217;s view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team leads:<\/strong> stand-ups and one-to-ones added during the planning meeting itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Office managers:<\/strong> meeting rooms and equipment held as time blocks the whole team can see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service teams:<\/strong> visits and appointments entered by time, then handed to an assignee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teams moving from Google Calendar:<\/strong> the same click-and-drag habit, with events and work in one system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-can-i-create-an-event-by-clicking-a-calendar-in-planfix\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>Can I create an event by clicking a calendar in Planfix?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.
