# Schedules Overview

The Schedules Overview provides a list of every Schedule where users can see at a glance who is currently on-call, what Escalation Policy the Schedule uses, and upcoming shifts. Users can filter all schedules by date range, participants, and escalation policies, and they can easily search and compare schedules.
