Layout
The view renders a matrix with one row per resource and one column per time bucket. The view mode controls the bucket size:
- Day - one column per day. Weekends are always shown.
- Week - one column per week.
- Month - one column per month.
In the week and month views, weekends are hidden by default. Toggle the Weekends checkbox to include them.
Navigating the date range
The toolbar exposes the standard navigation:
- < / > shifts the visible range one period back or forward.
- Today resets the range to a window centred on today.
- The date range picker lets you pick an arbitrary start and end date.
The Search box on the right filters the matrix by resource name or resource number; pagination at the bottom keeps large rosters responsive.
Editing capacity
Click any cell in the matrix to edit the capacity value for that resource and time bucket. Setting a value to 0 removes the corresponding capacity entry. Edits save automatically as soon as you commit the cell.
Generate from calendar
The Generate from calendar button (calendar icon, top-right) opens a dialog that produces capacity entries from the selected resources' calendars. In the dialog:
- Pick the date range to cover.
- Pick which resources to generate for. By default every resource currently in the matrix is selected; the search field lets you narrow the list.
- Confirm.
The generation runs in the background and overwrites existing capacity entries for the selected resources within the chosen range. Capacity comes from the resource's regular working pattern and any calendar overrides - the same source of truth used elsewhere in the application.
Generating from a calendar overwrites capacity entries for the selected resources and date range. Tweaks made manually in the matrix are lost for the affected cells.
