taken place.
Timeline
— Indicates a 4-hour span of time, in half-hour increments, starting from the
current half hour. The panel displays the controls and indicators for a selected half-hour
block. Unless you have selected a different block, the current half hour is the time block
displayed. The bottom edge displays the availability of the room for the entire 4 hours;
green is free, red is reserved.
The block selected (white) is usually the current half-hour. To select a different block
of time, touch the desired half-hour increment for approximately 5 seconds. The
other panel controls, such as
Reserve
(
) and
Release
(
), are displayed for the
selected block of time, whether the current or future half hour block.
NOTE:
The timeline increments are half-hour blocks, but the display of availability
and unavailability along the bottom edge is not limited to half hours. See the brief
meeting in the 9:00 block on the
