Filtering Reservations in the calendar

The calendar displays Reservations as bars from their Reservation Date From to Reservation Date To. The Status pane in the right side bar enables you to filter them by status. The calendar will display only those that are in one or more particular lifecycle phases, i.e. having the selected Status values.

• To filter Reservations:

  • Under Status, select the check boxes that correspond to the desired Status values.

  NOTE: The <Unassigned> check box allows you to decide whether the calendar would display reservations with an empty value in the Status field.

• To remove filtering:

  • To remove filtering by Status, select the <All> check box under Status. This will select all other check boxes in the pane, and the calendar will show Reservations having any statuses.
