•The Size and Time options in this edit form will vary, particularly depending on the View Type and Group Type you selected.
•Many of these settings and options can also be found in the Venue Calendar and Event Calendar views. You can review those instructions and examples under Calendar Views & Settings > Customize Calendar Views > Sizes/Times.
1.Resource Height/Width and Resources Per Page: These fields are activated only if you select a Group Type other than None.
a.These two settings control the appearance of the row or column of cells containing Resources.
b.The "Resources" referred to in these field captions are the "Group Type" items by which the calendar view is grouped. So, if this view is grouped by Room, the Rooms will be the "Resources"; if grouped by Status, the Statuses will be the "Resources". (NOTE: The text that appears in the Resource cells is defined by built-in defaults or customized text, explained in Text & Hints.)
2.Resource Height/Width: The Resource cells appear along the left column or the top row of the Calendar, depending on the View Type. In this field you can specify the Height (if Resource Cells are in a row) or Width (if the Resource Cells are in a column).
3.Resources Per Page: This determines how many "Resources" - e.g. Rooms or Statuses - are visible in the view without scrolling. If you leave this number as 0 (zero), the Calendar will squeeze all of the available Resources onto the screen, which may result in very tiny rows or columns. (Remember that you can still use the Control Panel Filter to hide resources from the calendar view.)
a.In this example, the Timeline by Room week view shows 5 resources.
b.In this example, the Timeline by Room week view shows 10 resources.
4.Cell Width Best Fit: This field appears if you select Timeline as the View Type. Choose what type of "Best Fit" you want to use: Month, Week, Day, or Manual.
a.Month: Select Month to best fit a Timeline view to a full month, meaning that the Timeline will automatically adjust cell sizes to continue displaying a full Month, even if the window is re-sized.
b.Week: Select Week to best fit a Timeline view to a full week, meaning that the Timeline will automatically adjust cell sizes to continue displaying a full Week, even if the window is re-sized.
c.Day: Select Day to best fit a Timeline view to a day, meaning that the Timeline will automatically adjust cell sizes to continue displaying a Day, even if the window is re-sized.
d.Manual: If you are less concerned about having a certain number of days displayed at once, and more interested in keeping the cells larger than a certain size, select Manual, and enter the Min Cell Width below. When you manually set the minimum cell width, the number of days displayed on the Timeline may vary if the window is re-sized, since the Timeline will work to keep the cells at minimum width, instead of displaying a set number of days.
5.Min Cell Width: This field only appears if you select the Manual Best Fit option. Enter the preferred minimum cell width.
This example shows a Timeline Week View by Room with a Resource Width of 120 and a manually set Min Cell Width of 250.
6.Time Scale:
a.This field only appears for certain View Types, and will be named Timeline/Gantt Time Scale or Day View Time Scale, depending on the View Type.
b.Select the Time Scale you want to use for this view: Day (for Timeline/Gantt only), Hour, Half Hour, Quarter Hour, Ten Minute, Six Minute, or Five Minute.
7.Days of the Week:
a.If you want to identify certain days as "Days of the Week", select the checkboxes next to the applicable days from the Days of the Week drop-down, and click OK.
b.If left visible, non-Days-of-the-Week will be a darker shade of the background color compared to Days of the Week.
8.Hide Unselected Days of the Week:
a.Select this checkbox if you want the unselected Days of the Week to be hidden in this calendar view.
b.If you do not select this checkbox, the unselected days of the week will be visible, but in a darker shade of the background color, as noted previously.
9.Visible Start and Visible End: If this view uses a time scale less than a Day, you can define Visible Start/End times.
a.In the Visible Start and Visible End Time fields, enter the time range you want visible in the calendar view.
b.If the Work hours (next setting) are shorter than the Visible hours, you will see that the visible non-work hours appear in a darker shade of the background color.
10.Work Start and Work End: Enter the time range of your working hours in the Work Start and Work End Time fields. These could be the same as the Visible hours, or shorter, depending on your organization. If the Work hours are shorter than the Visible hours, you will see that the non-work hours appear in a darker shade of the background color.
