Course Calendar
Within courses, resources can be planned. Resources include classrooms and devices, but also tutors or catering, for instance. Resource planning occurs directly upon creating or editing media.
An overview of simultaneous resource bookings of multiple courses is possible and is helpful when, for instance, an administrator supervises multiple courses simultaneously.
Upon opening a page, it can be selected which courses are to be viewed in which time period, with which resources, and which status. The selection can be modified at any time during the editing process.
Functions in the Course Calendar
Display
For each course, an entry comprising multiple lines is displayed. The time periods that have already been taken for the course are visible.
There is an option to zoom in or out by intervals, i.e. from weekly view to monthly view, or vice versa. Another zoom function available for each resource booking shows an automatically optimised view of the time period in which a booking was already made in a given line. (Example: The calendar shows a week in February, but in a line displayed as empty, a booking would apply to the whole month of August. In this case, the view jumps to August and displays the monthly view.)
Individual colours are used for the individual booking statuses ("booked", "pre-booked", "planned"). Depending on this, multiple options are available upon clicking on the bar in the calendar, such as "Cancel" or "E-mail to booking manager".
View
The viewing options define the displayed courses, resource statuses, and the date and time periods for the course calendar display.
