Learn about how to configure your Calendar view in AroFlo Office

Updated on May 23rd, 2024

Layout settings control the visual layout of your calendar and allow you to customize a range of calendar elements, such as the times displayed, whether or not weekends are shown, the default view type and much more.

Using the standard calendar view?

You'll need to create your own calendar view before you're able to customize it. See Calendar Views - Overview.

 

To access the layout settings for your calendar, click the (three dots) icon in the top left of the calendar.

 

 

Timespan

The Timespan setting allows you to set the time intervals displayed on your calendar (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes).

Common Intervals

Most clients use either a 15 or 30-minute interval. 

 
  1. Click the Timespan drop-down list.
  2. Select the preferred time interval.
  3. Click Save.

 

 

Time visible from and time visible to

The Time Visible From and Time Visible To settings allow you to choose the start and finish times of your calendar view.

  1. Enter a start time into the Time Visible From box.
  2. Enter a finish time into the Time Visible To box.
  3. Click Save.

Times can also be entered in 24-hour time, e.g 0600.

 

 

First scroll hour

The First Scroll Hour setting allows you to choose the time your calendar will automatically scroll to when you first open and view the calendar.

  1. Select the First Scroll Hour from the dropdown list.

    The times in the list are displayed in 24-hour time.

First day of the week

The First Day of the Week setting allows you to choose the day your calendar will start from. You can choose any day of the week or opt for your calendar to always start at 'today' or 'yesterday'.

  2. Click Save.

 

Show All-Day Slot

If you've added special calendars such as Public Holidays or Industry RDOs, the All-Day slot is helpful and frees up your calendar, as these events will be shown as a header to your calendar, as opposed to taking up the full height of the column.

The All-Day slot is only applicable to time-based views.
