What is the difference between Personal and Work?

Compare what each schedule type records and when to use it.

2 min read

Personal and Work do not indicate how important a schedule is. Choose the type based on what you need to record and how you want to use it later.

Personal schedules

Personal is a good fit for appointments, errands, medical visits, workouts, and other plans that only need a few details. It is designed for quick entry around a title.

  • Title
  • Date and time
  • Location
  • Checklist items
  • Notes
  • A date range or repeat

Work schedules

Use Work when you need to keep customer details, job records, amounts, or assignees with a schedule. The form you choose controls which fields and record-keeping tools are available.

  • Use Quick form to record only a title, location, checklist items, and notes.
  • Use a custom work form for customer details, addresses, amounts, and fields you define.
  • Depending on the form, use checklists, timers, and before-and-after photos.
  • Preview and share a document or PDF from supported completed work schedules.
  • Assign team members and use shared forms in a team calendar.

How calendars affect the schedule type

  • My Calendar can contain both personal and work schedules.
  • Team calendars can contain work schedules only.
  • A work schedule saved to My Calendar remains your private schedule and is not shared with a team.
