The Calendar section is the main component of the landing page in Labor once you login.
Analogically, the Calendar is simply just what the name implies. It is an array of dates, along with appointments on a specific date (resource schedule/ leave schedule/ events and so on), Also, these tasks are color coded on the basis of whether the resource has accepted, confirmed, or declined them.
The activities displayed on the calendar includes the position assignments to jobs and resource calendar updates. The Planner can also add calendar events to a resource’s calendar.
There are four options to view the activities:
Month: Displays the activities for the entire month. By default, you will see the activities in month view.
Weekly: Displays complete 24 hours details for seven days (Sunday to Saturday) in vertical bars.
Day: Displays the activities of an entire day (24 hours).
Agenda: Displays the data based on the events.
Timeline: Displays the activities based on the timings.
When you mouse hover on each of the assignments, a popup displays all the relevant information related to the assignment. As obvious, since this is a dashboard, all information is a view-only. And any changes to there-of must be made via Planning Order, Graphical Scheduler, or Whiteboard.
