Toolbar

Each of the components has a toolbar.

Note: Depending on how your system is configured and on which privileges you have, you may not see all of these buttons.
Tip: If the toolbar contains enough elements, it might not fit the window’s size. However, you can scroll the toolbar to access the buttons and controls that are not currently visible. Click the arrow button at the end of the visible toolbar to scroll to the right (end) of the toolbar.

When the toolbar is scrolled all the way to the end, a left-arrow button is displayed so that you can scroll the toolbar back to the left.

The following table describes the buttons and other controls that may be available on the toolbar.

Note: By default, all controls are displayed on the Web Component toolbars. However, you can customize the layout of the toolbar--for example, to hide controls that you do not use. See Customize the Toolbar.

  • Booked in Visible Period: Displays only assignments that have bookings in the visible period.
  • Booked or New in Visible Period: Displays assignments that have bookings in the visible period, and also includes assignments in the visible period if they have no bookings at all—in other words, new assignments.
