# Calendar settings

Choose what each day of the Market Rates calendar shows, how the day detail opens, and how far back movement is compared.

The **Calendar** tab controls how the [Market Rates](/revhero-docs/roompulse/market-rates.md) calendar reads. Open it from the **gear** icon, then click **Calendar**.

Nothing on this tab changes a rate. It changes what you see first. That matters, because the calendar is the screen you look at fastest.

![A month of dates, and what one tile carries](https://272652298-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnzEa7YGji6t92Mfc0ZJ1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-63766c6b111cfd0444884a137c8be46d1c3c591b%2Fwhat-a-calendar-day-carries.svg?alt=media)

*The calendar shows one tile per stay date; this tab decides what that tile carries.*

## Default display

* **Median** — the median competitor rate for the day.
* **Availability** — how much competitor availability is open, in the ranges you set in [Availability settings](/revhero-docs/roompulse/rate-settings/availability.md).
* **Ranking** — your position against your competitors, measured against the target you set in [Price settings](/revhero-docs/roompulse/rate-settings/price.md).
* **Sold Out** — highlights the days your competitors have closed.
* **None** — a plain calendar, with no overlay.

Most revenue managers keep **Median** as the everyday view. They switch to **Sold Out** or **Availability** when they work on a compressed period.

## Room mapping or room name

**Room Mapping** labels every cell with the shared category. The category is consistent across competitors, so you can compare cells quickly.

**Room Name** shows exactly what each competitor calls the room. Use this while you check that your [room mapping](/revhero-docs/roompulse/rate-settings/room-mapping.md) is correct.

## Day-popup trigger

**On Click** keeps the calendar still while you read it. **On Hover** is faster once you know what you are looking for. Choose the one that suits how you work.

## Median price deviation

A day that deviates from the median can be marked in 2 ways: with an **icon alone**, or with an **icon and a coloured cell background**.

The coloured background makes an unusual week easy to see from a distance. The icon alone keeps the calendar quieter. You set the ranges themselves in [Price settings](/revhero-docs/roompulse/rate-settings/price.md).

## Past days for comparison

This setting is the reference point behind every movement arrow in RoomPulse. Set it to **3**, **7**, **15** or **30** days. A day's price and availability are then compared against that many days earlier.

{% hint style="info" %}
Choose a value that matches how often you look at the calendar. If you compare against 3 days ago but review weekly, you will keep missing moves that happened on the days in between. If you compare against 30 days ago but review daily, today's change is hidden inside a month of other movement.
{% endhint %}
