Schedule grid fields

The Schedule grid displays days for:

  • objects that have not been booked in yellow
  • objects that have been booked by you in a green block
  • objects that have been booked by other people in a blue block

Each available object is represented by a row. To keep the grid readable even with many objects, SynWeb only displays a limited number of objects per page. You can navigate to a particular object using the Schedule area buttons.
