TE Core Side Menu explained

Views Panel

The views panel allows you to select a view that helps you schedule reservations efficiently.

Views that are public, above the line, are available for all users of TE Core. The views below the line are available for personal use only.  Select the view that suits your needs for scheduling or viewing reservations.

‍

The settings panel allows you to adjust the settings for each calendar section in the view. 

Note that these settings are saved with the view when a view is created or updated.   They can be altered by the user within each session using that view.   When the view is opened again the settings revert to the saved ones.

‍

The top calendar section is where you make changes to the whole calendar.

Function selection allows you to select between different booking functions:‍

• Reservation  represents a standard reservation booking (default)‍
• Availability allows you to set available times on a resource‍
• Info reservation allows you to schedule an information only booking.

Interval type allows you to select from a variety of ways to set the search interval for this calendar view.‍

• Relative to today’s date  allows you to set a moving range based on today’s date by setting the interval as the number of days before and after today’s date.   ‍
• Absolute period sets a fixed interval by setting a fixed start and end date.

Daily time interval, define whether we are looking for reservations scheduled between 00:00 – 24:00 (default) or a defined portion of the day.

The x- and y- axis sections allow you to limit what is displayed within the search criteria by selecting:

• The number of visible days – 14 is default.
• The weekday pattern:  Monday to Sunday; Monday to Saturday; or Monday to Friday.
• Check the overlapping side by side to see the reservations in parallel rather than overlaid.

‍

Draft mode allows you to copy some reservations into a ‘sand pit’ to make changes and test ‘what-if’ scenarios. These can then be saved back into the dataset if desired.
