When creating a new view, you must select a view type of Standard, Columns, Calendar, Gantt, List, or Block. This article will give examples of the different view types and basic properties.
To create or edit a view, first navigate to View Manager.
1. Click Create New View in the top left of the Views page or hover over the row of the view you want to edit and select Edit.
2. The Basic Properties page is the first step in creating or editing a view. Give the view a name under the View Name* field. This is required. It is helpful to give the view a brief but descriptive title to differentiate your views.
2. Choose a view type of Standard, Columns, Calendar, Gantt, List or Block.
3. Choose a Display Range if the view allows and choose a Group By of either By Assignment or By Personnel. This means that the data incased in each schedule slot shows the opposite of what you grouped by. For example, if you group by assignment the assignments will show as the header of the rows and the slots will be filled in by the personnel working.
4. Choose a Data Type. The Both data type will show both Requests and Schedule data on the same schedule.
