Drag & Drop Calendar

The Drag & Drop Power Tool is a calendar view that displays Function Types, dates, rooms and default capacities for each room, and is used to create Functions.  This tool is best used when

you have the outline or a skeleton schedule of your event.  When using this tool, you will create Functions, which serve as an overall container encompassing the date, time, and room.

To use the Drag & Drop Calendar, navigate to the Power Tools by selecting the icon at the top center on any Logistics page.  Then, select the "Drag & Drop Calendar" icon (Fig. 1).

To create a Function, drag a Function Type onto the calendar.  When a new a Function Type is added to the calendar, it is assigned a room, date and time.

Additionally, if a duration was entered for the Function Type, the Function will automatically have the appropriate time length.  This process creates a Function.

A Function is needed in order to assign presentations, resources and team members.

After your Functions have been created, you can return to the calendar at any time to adjust rooms, dates, or times for the Functions by dragging the Function Types on the calendar.  Remove a Function by dragging the Function Type toward the upper left-hand corner where the trash can icon is displayed.  Functions can also be edited individually by double clicking on a Function Type that has been added to the calendar.  Or, within the Function editor, after navigating to the Functions page (Fig. 2).
