At the top left of the Schedule Simple Calendar, you will notice that the viewing options has been updated. These viewing options includes DAY, WEEK, MONTH and MORE. Each option has a dropdown to display the events on your calendar in ways that will fit your needs.

Day

As you navigate through the View Options within the Schedule Simple Calendar, you may have noticed that we have changed and added more options for the views you select. The options to view the Day List calendar now includes Day, Staff, Timeline Day, Grid Day and Map Day.

• Day -The Day Schedule view (shown at right) puts all of the work orders and events on the calendar in the hour they occur. If you have multiple events at 9:00 am, they will be positioned next to each other.
• Staff – The Staff Schedule view will reflect the events under the Users that they are assigned to along with the hour the event occurs.
• Timeline Day – The Timeline Day Schedule view is similar to the Staff view but, positions your Users to the left of the calendar as the timeline reflects on top.
• Grid Day -The Grid Day Schedule View allows you to view the events reflected for the day as a list that will show the event’s dates times and descriptions. This Grid view can be sorted by Date, Time or Description.
• Map Day – The Map Day Schedule View is similar to the Grid view but includes a Map that will display location of the event as well. This is very helpful when working with technicians and their Work Orders.
  

The triangle icon next to Day gives you a pop up menu so you can choose another viewing option.

Month

Just like the Day and Week Schedule Views, we have also included changes to our Month Schedule Views as well. These options include Month, Timeline Month, Grid Month, and Map Month

• Month – Essentially, the Month Schedule View is a month list view, with each event and work order displayed in time order. When a week has no events, the calendar squares will shrink in height to make more space available for weeks with many events. Likewise, the square for a particular day with many events will expand so that all events and work orders are visible.
• Timeline Month – The Timeline Month Schedule View displays the associated Users of the event to the left hand side of the calendar with the timeline of the month displayed at the top. The timeline is broken down to Weeks and Days of the month.
• Grid Month – The Grid Month Schedule View allows you to view the events reflected for the Month as a list that will show the event’s dates times and descriptions. This Grid view can be sorted by Date, Time or Description.
• Map Month – The Map Month Schedule View will list your events similar to Grid view but includes a Map that will display the locations of the events for the month.

What if you want to see more than a Month’s worth of events in your Calendar? With the new Simple Schedule Calendar, the More View can provide this option! The More dropdown includes Year, Timeline and Grid Future.

• Year – the Year Schedule View will reflect each month and their days. The days will reflect in Bold if an event has been scheduled on that day. if the day’s date is not Bold, that indicates no events are scheduled on said day.
• Timeline – The Timeline Schedule View will list the associated Users to the left of the calendar displaying the Timeline on top. The timeline reflects by months of the year. The amount of months that displays is determined by the Dynamic Timeline option you have applied in your User Calendar Preferences.
