Adjusting the layout of the schedule grid
Back to topYou can adjust the layout of the schedule grid by columns, rows, and groups.
Columns define data attributes, rows determine the vertical stacking of sessions, and groups organize sessions according to the selected attribute segmentation.
Adjusting the layout by columns
Back to topFollow these steps to adjust the layout by columns:
- Go to the Schedule Grid (Calendar > Schedule Grid).
- Select the Layout button.
- Open the Columns dropdown menu.
-
Choose from the options listed: None, Date, Start time, Product, or Product Category. The Date option applies by default.
You can find the description of the column options below:Option Description None The attribute is not displayed. For example, if you choose None, the schedule grid does not display columns. Date The date of a given session, e.g., April 25. Start Time
A session’s start time, e.g., 8:00 a.m. Product Name of the product, e.g., Advanced Sailing Lesson. Product Category Name of the product category, e.g., Sailing Lessons.
The grid automatically refreshes to reflect your choice, e.g., Start time.Know the following:
- To prevent redundancy, if you select an attribute as a row, column, or group, it does not display on the session tile.
For example, if you choose Date as a column, the session tile does not display the date since you already have it as a column header.
- If you select an attribute already in use for another option, it is automatically removed from the previous selection and applied to the newly selected option.
For example, if you select Product Name under Rows and then select Product Name under Columns, the system automatically removes Product Name from Rows and assigns it to Columns instead.
- The grid includes sessions that link to deleted/updated timeslots (orphan sessions), which are no longer available unless you have bookings tied to them. This logic ensures you can still review guest and booking data for sessions with bookings.
For example, you update an 8 a.m. weekend session for a boat tour to 9 a.m. However, before this update, the 8 a.m. session had two bookings for April 20. The 8 a.m. session then displays on the schedule grid only for April 20 with those two bookings, and you can open the drawer to view the booking details.
- To prevent redundancy, if you select an attribute as a row, column, or group, it does not display on the session tile.
- Close the layout menu by clicking outside of the menu or pressing [Esc] on your keyboard.
