The Merge Calendar feature will combine all individual Resource views into one view and is useful for many of the views:

In the example below the view is set to Work Week, two Resources are selected, and the Merge Calendar option is not selected:

This is the same view with the Merge Calendar option selected:

The Timeline view will list the Tasks and Service Orders assigned to the selected Resources in a granular level of time, shown below is the Timeline view, not merged:

The default is half hour increments but you can change that via the "Change your interval duration" link:

Editing

 

Tasks and Service Orders can be edited directly in the Calendar view. You can either double-click the Task or Service Order on the calendar itself or in many of the views there is also a list of Task and Service Orders at the bottom of the interface that display for the selected day.

Tasks/Service Orders can also be dragged to different dates on the calendar if you don't need to open them for additional edits:

The only exception here is if the Task was created from our Gantt View interface, all date changes must be done in the Gantt interface.
