What the Calendar view is
Action Plans is where Verinode HQ tracks network initiatives already in flight: decision plans you've activated, interventions in progress, consent requests you've approved, and program flags you're working. The Gantt view lays those out as horizontal bars across a timeline. The Calendar view is the other way to read the same set: a macOS-Calendar-style monthly grid, with each due plan step showing up as a small colored pill on the day it's due. Same underlying plans, same steps, same statuses. Gantt answers "how is each initiative pacing over its whole run." Calendar answers "what's landing today, and what's landing this week."
Both views read from the identical started-plan set, so switching between them never changes what's counted, only how it's arranged.
Where to find it
Open Action Plans from the HQ sidebar (hq.verinode.ai/actions), in the same nav group as Feed and Decisions. Action Plans opens to the Gantt view by default. In the filter bar, use the view toggle in the top-right (a two-button segmented control) to switch to Calendar.
Note
The view toggle only appears when you aren't in multi-select mode. If you've clicked Select to bulk-cancel plans, click Done first to get back to Gantt/Calendar.
The pending plans strip
Above the month grid, a Pending plans strip lists initiatives that don't have a due date yet, so they don't vanish just because the calendar is organized by date. Two kinds show up here:
- Planning (copper dot): the row has an active agent run still generating. This applies to decision plans HQ is drafting.
- Ready (green dot): a plan exists with steps, but you haven't activated it yet. Shows the step count, e.g. "4 steps."
The strip's header reads "Pending plans · N not yet scheduled." Each card shows the mode label, the initiative's business area, the step count when relevant, the title, and, where applicable, the franchisee or program name. Up to 6 show at once; beyond that a "+N more" button expands the rest, then collapses back with "Show less." Clicking any card opens it in the full workspace, the same as clicking a tile anywhere else in Action Plans.
If nothing is pending, the strip doesn't render at all.
The month grid
Header. The current month and year (e.g. "July 2026") on the left. On the right, a previous-month arrow, a Today button that jumps back to the current month, and a next-month arrow.
Weekday row. Sunday through Saturday, matching the standard macOS Calendar week start.
Day cells. A 5- or 6-row grid of days, hairline-separated, no card frame around the grid itself. Days outside the current month (the trailing days of last month, the leading days of next month) render at reduced opacity so the current month reads clearly. Today's date carries a filled copper circle around the day number instead of plain text.
Each day cell shows up to 3 pills, one per plan step due that day. A pill is a single truncated line of the step's title, colored by status:
| Status | Color | Meaning | |---|---|---| | Overdue | Ember Red | Due date has passed and the step isn't marked complete | | Due today | Copper | Due today | | Due tomorrow | Steel Blue | Due tomorrow | | Upcoming | Deere Green | Due later than tomorrow | | Completed | Deere Green, struck through | Step is marked done |
If a day has more than 3 steps due, the extra pills collapse into a "+N more" line instead of overflowing the cell.
Click anywhere on a day cell (not just a pill) to open that day's overlay.
The day overlay
Clicking a day opens a card titled with the day's task count: "Nothing due" if the day is empty, or "N tasks" ("1 task" when there's exactly one). The eyebrow above the title is the full date, e.g. "Monday, July 20, 2026."
If nothing is due that day, the body reads: "No plan steps land on this day."
If tasks are due, each is listed as a row with:
- A status-colored dot (dimmed for completed steps).
- The initiative's business area (Governance, Compliance, Operations, Growth, or Risk) and, where the step belongs to a specific franchisee or program, that name after it.
- The step's title, struck through and dimmed once marked complete.
- The plan title underneath, so you can tell which initiative the step belongs to when several are due the same day.
- A template count on the right ("N templates") when the step has any attached, plus a chevron.
Click a row to open that step's task detail card, stacked on top of the day overlay. Closing the task card returns you to the day list without a re-render flash; closing the day overlay clears both.
The task detail card
Opening a task shows:
- Eyebrow: the step's status label (Overdue, Due today, Due tomorrow, Upcoming, Not started, or Completed).
- Title: the step's title.
- Meta strip: business area, the franchisee/program name if any, and the full due date on the right.
- Description: the step's longer description, when the underlying record has one.
- Templates: any communication artifacts attached to the step (email drafts, call scripts, checklists, and similar). Each template card shows a type badge, its own title if it has one, and action buttons: Copy (copies the content to your clipboard, with the To/Subject lines prepended for email templates), Share (uses your device's native share sheet if available, otherwise falls back to Copy), and, for email-type templates only, Open in Mail (opens your default mail client with the recipient, subject, and body pre-filled).
- If no template is attached, the card reads: "No template attached to this step. Open the full plan to add one or mark this step complete." For Action Plans specifically, HQ's own initiatives (decision plans, interventions, consent requests, program flags) move through their steps automatically as the underlying record's status changes: a step gets marked complete when you approve, activate, resolve, or escalate the record itself, not by checking a box inside this card.
A footer shows which plan the step belongs to ("Plan: [title]") and an Open Full Plan button that closes both overlays and opens the initiative in the full workspace, where you can act on it directly.
Empty state
If nothing on the network has a started plan and there's nothing pending either, the Calendar view (and the Gantt view beside it) shows: "No plans on the calendar yet. Action plans appear here as soon as you click Act on a decision. Each plan step lands on the day it is due." This is the same empty state the operator-side IQ Action Plans surface uses; on HQ it means no decision plan has been activated, no intervention flagged, no consent request sent, and no program flag raised in the lookback window this page reads.
The privacy boundary
Calendar entries never expose a franchisee's private business data. What you see is limited to network-governance and compliance context: the plan step, its due date, its status, and, where the step concerns a specific member, that member's location name (shown in anonymized form unless your group is structured as a single legal entity). You will never see an individual franchisee's margin, cash position, vendor terms, or job-level detail from this view. Interventions and consent requests reference a member by name because the initiative is about that member's engagement with the network; they carry no financial or operational detail beyond what's needed to track the initiative itself.
