Calendar view timezone

Welcome to the community, @Oleksandr_Nikitin!

Time zones can be very tricky to work with in Airtable!

That’s why I created this sample time zone base & training video to help you completely master time zones in Airtable:

Hm, that’s a nice one! And a nice workaround, as well. However, only the “official” TZ is ultimately draggable, so it does not answer my question directly

I’m thinking of using N+1 date fields (N local + 1 ISO), and an automation that compares which one effectively differs from ISO and overwrites all others. Not sure it won’t start running in circles though ))

Yeah, you can’t drag formula fields.

As long as your GMT option is turned OFF, and as long as you’re ALWAYS typing in times of your events as the LOCAL TIME TO WHERE YOU ARE AT THE CURRENT MOMENT WHILE DOING DATA ENTRY, then you’ll only need one calendar — because Airtable will automatically update the time to reflect everyone’s time zone (based on where they’re logged in from).

Loosely related, in case it would help someone who also stumbles on it, to subscribe to Airtable calendar on iPhone\iPad, you have to create a subscription FROM YOUR MAC (not icloud website, not the iphone itself)

No, that’s not true. Just go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Add Account > Other > Add Subscribed Calendar.

Also, most calendar apps will let you add a subscribed calendar as well.

Sadly, no.

1. This will add a calendar just on that device, and you’ll have to add it everywhere else manually as well
2. Sometimes, you’ll get an error saying “subscribed calendar already exists” even when you clearly can’t access the calendar from that device (ridiculous, I know. Spent half a day trying to figure this out today)

You really have to start with OS X first if you want to use native Apple calendar.

Right, that’s all I was giving you instructions on how to do. You didn’t originally mention anything about simultaneously adding that calendar across all of your devices, although it’s interesting what you have discovered in those regards!

Thank you for this resource! I am trying to make a calendar for a global team, and it would be very helpful to not only be able to see events in your own time zone, but to toggle between time zones of colleagues. Something like picking a time zone from a drop down menu or filter, and being able to see the calendar that your colleague in another time zone sees. But it looks like, in Interfaces, you can’t change/filter what date field is being used to populate the calendar. Any tips or workarounds here?

Hmm, really convoluted but may work, but what if you linked all your date records to a single helper record in another table, and that record contained the timezone that you wanted to display stuff in?

In your main table, you’d add a lookup field to display the timezone you’ve selected, and you’d have formula fields to convert the date fields into the selected timezone

You’d then create a Blank Interface layout with:

1. Record picker for that one helper record
2. Field element so you can select the timezone you want
3. Calendar element that displays the formula field output
