Getting Started
Hello,
DayBack helps you make better decisions by showing your resources and events in context, specifically within the context of your other projects and your Google Calendars. Once you know that you're making plans and promises you can keep, you can start blocking off time for your most important work.
We're looking forward to your feedback. And thanks for checking out DayBack!

Getting Started in Salesforce
1. No setup is required to see Events or Service Appointments
After you install DayBack, it will show you the Events, Tasks, and Campaigns in your org, and will create a folder of your users as resources. If you're using Salesforce Scheduler instead, DayBack will show your Service Appointments.
That's it; you're ready to start using it.
2. Add a tab for DayBack
You may want to add DayBack to your tabs for easier access.
3. Customize your setup for your unique workflow
To see more objects in DayBack or customize it to better suit your workflow, these articles will help you get started:
Learn how to ...
- Integrate your Objects
- Show your custom objects in the calendar.
- Add your Resources
- Schedule your people, rooms, trucks, or other assets that are often over-scheduled.
- Set up Status Filters
- Organize and color-code your events.
- Add Unscheduled Items
- Browse and filter a list of unscheduled items, dragging them into your calendar when you find an open resource.
- See your Google Calendars
- See and edit your Google Calendar events along side your Salesforce objects.
- Create Custom Actions
- Call your own scripts and workflows.
- Change DayBack's Appearance using CSS
- Change the calendar's appearance.
- Translate DayBack's Terminology to Your Own
- Change the text and button labels to match your business vocabulary.
Getting Started for FileMaker
The new DayBack for FileMaker 19 makes it very easy to add DayBack to your own FileMaker files and see your FileMaker records in the calendar alongside your Google, Office 365, and Basecamp sources. The same integration and layout works in FileMaker Client and in WebDirect.
You'll find an introduction to DayBack and step-by-step instructions here: Integrating DayBack for FileMaker.
Getting Started for Basecamp
There's nothing to set up! DayBack will automatically pick up your Events and To-Dos, creating a filter for each project in your calendar's left-hand sidebar. Since Basecamp is a newer integration for us, please get in touch and let us know what features you'd like to see.
Going further, you might want to:
- Add your own buttons to the calendar.
- Change the calendar's appearance.
- Learn how to publish schedules to people who aren't DayBack or Basecamp users.
After connecting to your Basecamp source, you may want to visit the settings page to:
- Add your Basecamp team members as resources.
- Include To-Dos.
- Authorize with a different account.
We hope DayBack can make a big difference for your team!
Getting Started with Google Calendar
As soon as you give DayBack permission to see your Google Calendars, DayBack will show each of your calendars in the left-hand sidebar and you're ready to go. DayBack adds a resource and status field to your Google Calendars so you can start categorizing events and making sense of your busiest calendars.
- Add Resources
- Schedule your people, rooms, trucks, or other assets that are often over-scheduled
- Add Status filters
- Color-code your events
- Add Custom fields
- Add fields to Google Calendar for filtering or reporting
Going further, you may want to add your own buttons to the calendar, change its appearance, and publish schedules to individuals that aren't DayBack users.
While Google lets you share whole calendars, DayBack's sharing lets you share just a portion of a calendar and then set that share to expire. More here: sharing.
Getting Started with FileMaker Server CWP
Here is the integration you'd use for versions prior to FileMaker 19 if you wanted to use DayBack in WebDirect. For the new DayBack for FileMaker 19, check out this article.
