Details on the Mini View

Click on a day that has at least one event booked to bring up a window that lists the times, status colors and names of the events booked on that day. You can click on an event's name to load its event details page. Shadowed events will appear lighter than other events.

3. Enter a number (up to 92) into the field for Number of days to show under the Mini View heading.

Quickly Switch Between Number of Days

You can use settings presets to quickly switch the number of days being displayed on your mini view. For example, you can create settings for 31 Days, 62 Days and 92 Days to quickly switch between a condensed month, two month or three month view.

7. Click the drop-down for settings presets.

Shadowing on the Mini View

Shadowing causes events to display on calendars that are the parents or children of the calendar on which they are booked. For example, I have a calendar called Meeting Rooms that has a child calendar called Room 6. If shadowing is on, events booked on the Meeting Rooms calendar will display on the Room 6 calendar and vice versa. Shadowed events will display with a dashed border instead of a solid border.

Without Shadowing

With Shadowing

To toggle shadowing:

1. Click Settings in the upper-right.

2. Click General on the left.
3. Click the on or off button.
4. Click Save.
