# Schedule

The home personal schedule displays events connected to the currently logged in User and can also be used to create new items or modify existing ones.

The events potentially displayed are personal Work order item scheduled User records, Review and Reminder records.

The personal schedule form only displays information for the currently logged in User unlike the Service schedule form.

## Views

There are multiple views available:

### Month view

### Week view

### Four Day view

### Day view

## Menu options

The personal schedule menu provides quick access to the currently logged in User's Reminders, Reviews, Work order item scheduled user and Work order item Labor data tables for viewing or reporting.

In addition it has the option to create a new Customer record to be used prior to creating a work order.

## Settings

The settings dialog (access by clicking on gear icon at top) controls what is displayed in the schedule. Schedule settings are device independent and saved to the server as a personal User setting so that any device used by this same User account will use these same settings.

### First time in day view

This controls the starting hour to display in day views. Use it to hide unused hours to reduce the need to scroll down.

### Show

This controls what types of items show in the schedule.

### Work order color source

Choose where the color comes from that is displayed in the schedule:

The Schedule is technically showing Work order item scheduled user records however a Work order has several different colors associated with it.

This setting controls which color to use for display in the schedule.

Note that you can always click on an event to view a summary of the Work order including all the status and priority color based properties regardless of what is set here.

## Items with no date set

The schedule shows dated items only, any Work order item scheduled user records with no date set can be viewed through the Work order item scheduled Users data table (Service -> Work orders -> Items menu item -> Scheduled Users menu item) which will display undated items.

## Review events

A Review object does not have a time period associated with it as it only has a single Review Date field. For this reason all Review items will display in the schedule starting at their Review Date as a 15 minute interval.

## Opening an event

Clicking on an event displayed in the schedule opens a pop up display with more detailed information about the object selected including links to open it directly.

### Work order more info box

### Review more info box

In addition to opening the source Review with the Open button you can also open the source object by clicking on it's icon beside the name of the object being reviewed (in the image above it's the Customer icon).
