# Side By Side View

> Side by side explained!

The Side By Side View functions the same as the Calendar View but presents shifts in a condensed format, allowing you to see shifts for the same day or over the weekend side by side. In Side By Side View, all events from the current day onwards are visible.  It shows details: the event date, name, earliest shift start time, the number of workers scheduled, and the total number of workers needed.

As shown above, the 3 events have available spots - 6/7, 8/10 & 10/23. To see multiple events, you can simply click each event and they will appear side by side:
