Calendar

One calendar for everything the firm is committed to: meetings, hearings, task deadlines, client calls and court dates.

Unified calendar

Calendar in the left sidebar. Rather than a separate diary per module, the Calendar is a single view of every commitment in the firm. Colour separates the kind of commitment, so a court date does not read like a team meeting.

The Calendar in eFirm on its week view, showing client calls, hearings, task deadlines, court dates, and meetings in one hourly grid, with a week and month toggle and an Outlook connection.
  1. One calendar for everything the firm is committed to: meetings, hearings, task deadlines, and court dates.
  2. Week or month, plus a two-way Outlook connection. Each member connects their own Microsoft account, and events created in either place appear in both.
  3. Events flagged billable generate a timesheet entry on their own. Scheduled client calls stop being unbilled time.
  4. Colour separates the kind of commitment, so a court date does not read like a team meeting. Firm holidays sit on the same grid, and leave balances respect them.

What lands here without being typed

Most of what fills a firm calendar is not created in the Calendar. A hearing created in the Hearings module appears here on its own, with automatic reminders whose notification days are configurable, and shows in the calendar of the team that has to appear. A task carrying a Reminder date surfaces here at that date. Firm holidays sit on the same grid. The week view totals the day's logged time in a "Total time spent" counter, which is the quickest check that the day's work actually reached a timesheet.

Outlook two-way sync

Bidirectional sync with Microsoft Outlook: events created in HAQQ appear in Outlook and vice versa, and changes sync automatically in both directions. Each team member connects their own Microsoft account from User Settings → Microsoft Integration, independently of the firm-level connection an administrator makes. The workspace-level side of the integration is described on Legal Market.

Calendar permissions

ModeWho sees what
RestrictiveMost users see only their own events. Partners and admins see everyone's calendars.
PermissiveAll users can view all calendars across the firm.

Holiday calendar

Calendar → Holiday Calendar. Administrators configure the firm's holidays — public holidays and firm-specific closures — and they appear as all-day events on the same grid as everything else. The HR module's leave management respects these holidays when calculating leave balances, so a closure is not deducted twice.

Where to go next

Court dates originate in Hearings, deadlines in Tasks, and the workspace settings behind the permission modes are on Settings and Customizations.
