Scan Project Window

The Scan Project window displays all bookings for one project for a specified day, week or month. Time slots are listed across the window, with resources listed down. Bookings are displayed as boxes at the intersections of the relevant resources and time slots. You can view or change the complete booking information by double clicking the box.

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.  




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

Project   The project to be displayed. Enter the name of project or click the Down Arrow button to select from a table of existing projects.

Time Scale   Choose a time period from the options.

Date A date to be included in the scan. Enter the date directly or click the Calendar button to call a look-up calendar for selecting the date.
 

Begin/End  Beginning and end of the period you wish to scan.

Text  The text to be shown in the booked time slots. 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.

Height  You may change the height of the rows.


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

To add a new booking, click the Add button. The name of the project will appear in the Add/Update Booking window. If Time Scale is limited to one day, the date will be passed on to the Add/Update Booking window as well.

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 start time, date and resource information will be filled in as deduced from the cursor position. 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 and time information. Confirm by clicking the OK button. 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.

If your System Administrator has assigned status colors and there is 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.

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.
