Contract calendar

The calendar shows all your contract dates in one place, coloured by how soon they are, so you can see busy periods coming.

What the calendar shows

Open Calendar from the main menu, or click the Calendar tab on the Contracts page. It shows four kinds of date:

Renewal Dates: when a contract next renews.
Act by: the last day to give notice, when the contract states it.
Notice deadline: the last day to give notice, worked out from the renewal date and the notice period.
Expiration Dates: when a contract ends.

Beside the calendar, Upcoming Renewals lists the contracts whose key date falls in the next 90 days.

Colour coding

Each date is coloured by how soon it is:

Red: the date has passed, or is 30 days away or less. Deal with these first.
Amber: 31 to 90 days away. Start planning.
Neutral: more than 90 days away. Nothing to do yet.

"Act by" dates are always shown in amber, so they stand out.

Click any date on the calendar to open that contract.

Navigating the calendar

Month, quarter and year views

The calendar opens on the current month. Click Quarter or Year to see further ahead, and use the arrows to move backwards and forwards. Click Today to come back to the current month.

Filters

Click Filters to narrow down what the calendar shows:

Search: type part of a contract name.
Event Types: show or hide renewal dates, act-by dates, notice deadlines and expiration dates.
Urgency Levels: show only Expired, Critical, Warning or Normal dates.
Tags: show only contracts with the tags you pick.

Click Clear all filters to see everything again.

Exporting

Click Export and choose:

Export to iCal: a file you can import into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. This is a one-off copy; it does not update itself.
Export to CSV: a spreadsheet file (Starter plan and above).

Both need you to have confirmed your identity with a passkey or authenticator app.

Calendar view vs. calendar sync

Renewly has two calendar features that do different jobs:

Calendar view (this page): the calendar inside Renewly, with colours, filters and a link to each contract.
Calendar sync: puts your contract dates into your own Google or Outlook calendar and keeps them up to date, so you see reminders without opening Renewly. It is included on Starter plans and above.

Many people use both: the calendar view for the full picture, and calendar sync for reminders in the calendar they already use. Set up calendar sync.

Tips for effective use

Check weekly: look at the calendar at the start of each week to plan your contract work.
Filter by tag: if you look after one team's contracts, filter to their tag.
Watch for busy months: the year view shows months with many red or amber dates. Plan ahead for them.
Use with Insights: the Portfolio insights page flags contracts whose time to act is open or closing.
