  # Overview: Amplenote Calendar on Desktop
  Amplenote's calendar is the fourth step of the [Idea Execution Funnel](https://www.amplenote.com/blog/jots_unify_four_apps_ideas_into_idea_funnel) . It provides a drag-and-drop way to schedule your most important tasks to your calendar. In this section, we'll look over how the Amplenote calendar works when used on a desktop computer. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Let's walk through the different sections individually, starting at the top-left and moving approximately clockwise.
  
  ## Selected Task Domain
  In this screenshot, there are three active [Task Domains](/help/using_calendar_task_domains) , with the "Work" Task Domain selected:

  Task Domains can be renamed, defined, and enabled/disabled under [Account Settings -> Task Domains](https://images.amplenote.com/c5a402ac-90e1-11eb-bbea-1e34e7aa6740/6c9b065a-e759-41c0-b88d-4d8870f7ed96.png) . This is where you will set up the default **tags** and **notes** that define which tasks are shown in the calendar sidebar.
  
  ## Date Selector
  > ![](https://images.amplenote.com/c5a402ac-90e1-11eb-bbea-1e34e7aa6740/073f1749-4aee-48ba-9ddb-0d5beef5e03d.png) Click the date selector to change the date being viewed
  This one is pretty self-explanatory.
  
  ## Domain options/Sync indicator
  > ![](https://images.amplenote.com/c5a402ac-90e1-11eb-bbea-1e34e7aa6740/a01bd058-28fc-4185-b081-c5bdd7bb449b.png) Click sync icon to see synchronization status from external calendars & display available Task Domain options.
  The sync indicator will be green only if we have parsed all known tasks from the tags and notes in the selected Task Domain, and we have recently synced to all connected external calendars. You can click the "Sync" button to manually initiate a sync, but this shouldn't ever be necessary since we automatically sync whenever you update a task.
  
  This menu also allows you to choose from 3 different ways to configure how your tasks are displayed on the calendar pane:
  The default setting, all toggles **disabled**.When no toggle is enabled, **only tasks from the current Task Domain** will be shown on the calendar.
  "Show all scheduled tasks" is **enabled**.In this case, the calendar pane will **display all tasks that have a start date set **across all of the notes created by you
  "Include tasks from notes created by others" is **enabled**.With this setting, the calendar pane will also **display tasks with a start date from notes created by other people**.
  
  ## Date View Selector
  > ![](https://images.amplenote.com/c5a402ac-90e1-11eb-bbea-1e34e7aa6740/bef10aef-0e5a-4de5-ae77-e2c79299c36a.png) Choosing date view in Amplenote calendar, upper middle of calendar
  Configure which calendar to show: per-day, per-week or per-month.
  
  ## Active Note Selector
  > ![](https://images.amplenote.com/c5a402ac-90e1-11eb-bbea-1e34e7aa6740/dc8921bc-4c27-4394-93f8-05dd0312bb11.png) Clicking the Active Note Selector offers a list of notes associated with the Task Domain by virtue of being explicitly included, or having a tag that is in the Task Domain
  The Active Note Selector lets you hide tasks from notes that aren't relevant to you. The maximum set of notes that will be shown in the Active Note Selector is "every note you added to the Task Domain, and every note that contains a tag you included in the Task Domain." However, notes are excluded from the list of "Active notes" under two different conditions:
  
  The note has been [auto-archived or explicitly archived](/help/organizing_notes_archive_note)  
  The note does not contain any tasks
  
  These limitations help to keep the "Active Notes" list manageable even when daily-jots is included as a Task Domain tag.
  
  **To focus on the tasks from a single note and disable all other notes**, hold shift while clicking the note's checkbox.
