Viewing all booked rooms in week/month view?

Hello for the first time on this hopefully wonderful mailing list 

Is there any way to view an entire week/month for one area, which contains
bookings for all meeting rooms?

I can view a week/month for a particular room easily enough, but can I get a
week/month view for all rooms?

If this isn't built into the system, is there a custom PHP script that could
be included that lists all bookings?

The reason for this is that I have slightly altered the system to be a
vacation tracking system (as well as using it as a meeting room system as
well, at a different web address). Instead of booking rooms, you book
people. Each booking is actually a vacation period. I simply changed the
lang.en file to make these changes. My boss would like to see an entire
month containing all the people that are off each day.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance, your help with this matter is greatly appreciated 

Hobbs.

Calendar view for entire area?

Hello All,

I've been evaluating MRBS for potential use at my church and am really pleased
with what I see here.  I do have have a couple of questions and would really
appreciate any feedback.

1)  Can you display a calendar view for an entire area rather than room by room?
 If not then would you consider this as a feature request?

2)  the n-Weekly repeat type doesn't appear to be working correctly in this
version:  I think I'm scheduling rooms for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for n
weeks, however I only see the initial week displayed in the calendar.

3)  Why is the Repeat End Date necessary if you define a "Number of Weeks"? 
This appears redundant.

4)  Can rooms be color coded?  Feature request?

thanks!

best,
sean

Thanks and a question

Sean

To answer your questions in turn:
1) Can you define calendar view?  Do you want all rooms on the month
view or are you looking for full year view?  There has just been a
similar query about showing all rooms in an area on the month view.
Generally, the issue with these sorts of views is the amount of data
that has to be displayed.

2 & 3) As you have discovered by now n-weekly defines the repeat
interval.  So if you say n-weekly = 2 then a meeting will happen every
other week.  I think that you want to say weekly and then set an end
date.  I have created a new version of the edit page, which is still to
be implemented that will make this clearer.

4) No, rooms can't be coloured at the moment.  But you could add it as a
feature request.  In the interim you could use the entry type to help
colour thinks.

Hope this helps

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

Outstanding, thank you for your reply.

What I was really looking for was to display all of the rooms in a 
given area in a single week.  I think that you're right that a month 
would be an enormous amount of data, and a year would be simply 
unusable.  A week however would be very useful to me.

Thank you for the explanation, I'll try this again with your comments 
in mind.

Setting a different type would do fine, thanks for the tip!

Re: Calendar view for entire area?

Hi Sean 

In a week view I presume that you would like it to look something like:

|  Sunday   |  Monday   | ...
|rm1|rm2|rm3|rm1|rm2|rm3| ...

Note if you were to have very long "room" names then the table would get
very wide.

Regards

Gavin.

Re: Viewing all booked rooms in week/month view?

Richard

Please indicate what sort of format you are looking for in a single day
cell.  Is it something like this:
"person"
time: description
"person"
time:

Actually I had imagined something more like:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday  |  rm1:
   1    |  rm2
        |  rm3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Monday  |  rm1
   2    |  rm2
        |  veryLongRoomName3:

RE: Viewing all booked rooms in week/month view?

Hello,

I think that's what I want, but just to clarify, I could do with something
like this...

(A Person is really a Room of course :D)

Week view:
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Mon           | Tue | Wed | Thu           | Fri | Sat | Sun |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Person 1      |     |     | Person 4      |     |     |     |
| 12:00 - 13:30 |     |     | 09:00 - 13:30 |     |     |     |
| <--- hr --->  |     |     |               |     |     |     |
| Person 2      |     |     |               |     |     |     |
| 09:00 - 17:30 |     |     |               |     |     |     |
---------------------------------------------------------------

Month view:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Mon     | Tue     | Wed     | Thu     | Fri     | Sat     | Sun     |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|         |         |         |         | 1       | 2       | 3       |
|         |         |         |         | Person2 |         |         |
|         |         |         |         | 12:00-13:30 |     |         |

|         |         |         |         |<--hr--->|         |         |
|         |         |         |         | Person4 |         |         |
|         |         |         |         | 12:00-15:00       |         |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
