I have a pre-sales question concerning creating a custom calendar layout. Currently we use Excel spreadsheets as employee calendars to show where an employee will be on a particular day (in the office, PTO, at a client site, etc...) and quite frankly, it sucks for a number of reasons. I am thinking about getting a Silver Membership and using the Managed People/resources add-on to better manage the data side of things, but I am concerned about getting a layout that will be close enough to our current layout in excel to be both useful and visually appealing (aka not a huge mess).

Our current layout in Excel looks something like this:

         Emp1      Emp2      Emp3     Emp4    
Oct 5 PTO Client1 Office Client2
Oct 6 PTO Client1 Client1 Client2
Oct 7 Office Client1 Client1 Office
Oct 8 Office Client1 Client1 Office
Oct 9 Office Client1 Client1 Office


So basically I am trying to do something similar, a list of resources across the top, a list of dates down the side. Is that or something similar possible? I can rotate the table if required but would prefer not to if the above is an option. The problem with a standard calendar layout for this is that by the time you hit twenty employees (which is one of our smaller groups), each day is just a cluster that becomes nearly impossible to read.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Hello Mason,

you could do this with the JEvents List views. Adding the above into the JEvents Custom Layouts -> List Row

And use some CSS to hide the headers i.e. EMP1 etc and show it only on the first occurrence.

Many thanks
Tony
