Changing your Scheduler Views

Follow

Summary

The Scheduler has great features allowing you to easily change your views, flip between favorite and dynamic searches, share views, and modify your Bookings, Orders, and Projects. This article walks you through the different ways to manipulate the appearance of Scheduler

 

Expanding and Collapsing the Scheduler Wings

The Scheduler has a collapsible left and right wing which allow you to either access more space on the Scheduler or more information about Projects or Orders.

The left wing: After selecting and loading search criteria, you can collapse the left wing by clicking on the gray arrow to the right of the Last Search. This will create additional space on the Scheduler

View Scheduler by Date

You can personalize your Scheduler view by picking a specific date or time range (single day up to 48 months) and zoom in or out of your display.

Tip: if you don’t see what you should/want to see, confirm that you have the correct dates and timeframe chosen. Click the Refresh button to reload the Scheduler. For automatic updates to the Scheduler, you can also turn on the Timer function by clicking the drop down arrow to the right of the Refresh button and selecting the frequency of automatic updates

Setting Alerts in Scheduler

Setting alert configurations help schedulers manage Order and Booking conflicts. Alerts are located at the top of the Scheduler.

1. Click the mceclip1.png button at the top right hand of the menu to turn on Alerts. You can modify the Alert Preferences by clicking on the arrow next to mceclip3.png and selecting Config  

2. Note: A conflict icon will show up when the Element is booked on more than one Order while an unassigned icon will show up for Orders that have a generic Booking assigned but no specific Booking has been assigned. You can always change the Elements that will cause a conflict icon or an unassigned icon to show up

1. Click the arrow of the Header drop down in the top menu bar
