Creating Calendars and Layers
Regular and external users can create calendars and, by default, calendar layers. In shared calendars, users’ access roles may prevent them from creating layers.
Calendars help you keep track of what needs to be worked on and when. In Wrike, calendars consist of layers. Each layer displays tasks or projects according to filters and other parameters you set when you create them.
Navigate to the Calendars section.

You can only add calendars to spaces in which you're a space admin.
