  • Click on the period displayed to call up the "Determine time period" function. Now you can select the period of the planning board. If you select the option "Current week", then the planning board shows the current week divided into hours. For the "Next two weeks" and "Next four weeks" options, the time periods are displayed in days. When selecting "Zoom", you can set the subdivision of the planning board. The options "Hour", "Day", "Week" and "Month" are available. The option "Fit to screen" has the effect that the planning board is displayed without a horizontal scroll bar. If the selected period is too large for the screen, alternatives will be suggested. Without activating the option, a cell in the planning board is as large as set in the User settings . With a click on the images/download/thumbnails/378767698/%C3%9Cbernehmen_EN_magenta_img.png button, the planning board is adjusted according to the filter settings.

    To adjust the displayed time period you can also click directly on the time lines in the planning board. For example, if you want to reduce the view to a calendar week, simply click on the desired "CW".
