# Save your own view of a calendar (My view)

Product: Virto Calendar App
Updated: 2026-11-14


A shared calendar opens the way its manager set it up: in its default view, with the sources it shows and all categories. With **My view** you keep your own version of it, for example the **Week** view with only your team's sources and without holidays. The calendar then opens that way for you on all your devices: in SharePoint, in Teams and in the browser. Your colleagues keep seeing the calendar's own view.

## What My view remembers

- The view, such as **Week** or **Month**.
- The sources you switched off in the legend.
- The categories you switched off in the **Categories** filter, and its **Filter with OR** setting.

My view does not store a date: the calendar still opens on the current period. Sources and categories that are added to the calendar later are shown in your view.

## Save your view

1. Open the calendar and set it up the way you want it: choose the view, switch sources off or on in the legend, and set the **Categories** filter.
2. Select the **My view** icon, a person, in the calendar toolbar next to **Print**. The menu starts with a short note on what it saves.
3. Select **Save as my view**.

While you have a saved view, the **My view** icon stays highlighted.

## Switch between your view and the calendar's view

The menu has two choices, and a check mark shows the one you see now:

- **My view** shows the view you saved.
- **Calendar's view** shows the calendar as it is set up for everyone: its default view, its sources and all categories.

Switching to **Calendar's view** does not delete your view. The next time you open the calendar, your view opens again.

## Change or delete your view

- To change your view, set up the calendar differently and select **Update my view**. The command is available only when what you see differs from your saved view.
- To stop using your view, select **Delete my view**. From then on, the calendar opens in the calendar's view.

## Good to know

- Your view is saved for you and for this calendar only. Each calendar can have its own saved view.
- It is saved with your Virto Calendar App settings, not in the browser, so it applies on every device and in every place where the calendar is shown.
- If a link opens the calendar in a particular view, you get that view; your sources and categories still apply.
- When the data source legend is turned off for the calendar (**Show Data Source Legend** in the calendar settings), nobody can switch sources, so the calendar's sources apply. Your saved view type and categories still do.
- While your organization's settings are being moved to another storage region, a view cannot be saved.
- My view changes only what you see. To change what everyone sees, a calendar manager changes the [calendar settings](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/calendar-overlay-pro/settings/calendar-settings/index.md).
