Side Blocks in the Calendar Views

When displaying a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly calendar view, the left side of the display contains some side blocks that are used to configure what is displayed in the main calendar views. Not all of the calendar views have the same side blocks, according to what is appropriate for the given calendar view.

There are several different types of side blocks.

  • Date block - Quickly jump to a certain date
  • Location and Filters block - Set the buildings/locations to display on the calendar and apply any filters to the rooms to be displayed
  • Navigation Calendars block - Small calendars to quickly go to a certain day, as longis the day is within a month or so of the currently displayed day
  • Room Legend block - Block that shows on weekly and monthly calendar views that show correspondance between colors and rooms
