Media Calendar
Within media of the type "Event", 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. A simultaneous overview of the resource bookings of multiple media can be provided here and is helpful if an administrator simultaneously supervises multiple media. Upon opening the page, it can be determined which media are to be viewed in which period with resources of which status. The selection can be modified at any time during the editing process.
Functions of the Media Calendar
Display
For each medium, an entry comprising multiple lines is displayed. The time periods that are already taken for the medium 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 media, resource statuses, and the date and time periods for the resource-calendar display.
