Overview

The visual schedule view (calendar view) organizes your ongoing sessions into blocks based on the time that they take place. 

By default, the system creates these automatically, but you can also choose to create them manually.

Tapping a time block opens a list of the sessions within.

The visual schedule view helps attendees orient their personal schedule in the context of your meeting. For example, users may not realize you have a 6 am early morning yoga session when browsing the program as a list, but would notice it when checking their itinerary in the visual schedule view. 

In addition, the visual schedule view helps your attendees identify gaps in their schedule and easily find sessions that take place during those gaps. 

Personal Schedule

When users schedule sessions, they appear in full color on the visual schedule view and overlay the event's schedule at a glance. 

Users can use the layer toggle to hide their personal schedule to see the event schedule at a glance. 

EventPilot allows attendees to schedule as many concurrent sessions as they want. When looking at the schedule view on a typically-sized screen, attendees will be able to see up to 3 individual concurrent sessions, however, if an attendee schedules 4+ concurrent sessions the time block becomes one block for a better UI experience.

Controlling Time Block Generation

If you have selected 3 timeblock columns in the App Builder > Agenda > Visual Schedule, the system will automatically start with the first session type and generate a column if one or more sessions exists. 

If you wish to ensure that one session type will always be displayed as its own block, drag the session type to the top in Agenda > Session Types. 

In the example below, the number of columns to display is set to 2. Keynotes, education sessions, and social events are higher in the Session Types list. Depending on what other sessions are going on at that time and the overlaps across sessions, blocks with a session type higher in the list are then displayed as their own blocks.
