Scan Client (Horizontal Format) Window

The Scan Client (Horizontal Format) window displays all bookings for one client for a day, week or month in a horizontal format, with the date and time listed across the window and resources listed down. The bookings appear as horizontal bars representing the time they occur.  If the System Administrator has chosen to use multi-day bookings,  the horizontal format can also display bookings for a quarter or year.

The display is controlled by the values entered at the top of the window. Initial values are taken from Scan settings in the Update User Preferences window. Click the Go button to display the bookings using the values in the fields at the top of the window. If the word Go is red, the display no longer reflects those values and needs to be refreshed.  

If you have assigned status colors and then assigned a status to any booking, the chosen color will appear in the scan display for that booking when you select Status as the option in the Color Source drop-down list.



Color Source Drop-down list to select whether the colors of the booking, resource, or booking status are used in the display.

Client   The client to be scanned. Enter the name of the client or click the Down Arrow button to select from a table of existing clients.


Time Scale The period to be displayed.  Day, week, month, quarter or year.

Text  The text to be shown for a booking. You can choose among showing no text, the booking name, the resource name, or mixed, which is a combination of booking and the primary resource of the booking.

Begin Start of the workday.  Bookings that occur before this time are not shown.

End End of the workday. Bookings that occur after this time are not shown.

Height  You may change the height of the rows shown.

To view or change the details of a booking, double click the bar representing the booking.

To add a new booking, click the Add button. If a client has been selected in this window, that client's name will appear in the Add/Update Booking window.

You may add a new booking simply by placing the cursor on a desired, empty time slot and then double clicking. The Add/Update Booking window will appear and the date and client information will be filled in. Confirm by clicking the OK button.

You may also drag an existing booking to another time slot. The Add/Update Booking window will appear and display the existing booking, but with the new date information. Confirm by clicking the OK button. In this window, the start time is not automatically changed when an existing booking is moved to another time slot. NOTE: You cannot drag an existing booking if 'Use multi-day bookings' has been turned on in System Preferences. See: Multi-day and Repeat Bookings for more information.

Existing bookings cannot be dragged and new bookings cannot be inserted by clicking a time slot if you are accessing ResSched through the Web module.

To quickly scroll up and down the window, click above or below the slider button in the vertical scroll bar rather than using the arrow buttons or dragging the slider button. Scheduling Software home
