Filter by Time Frame

The following list describes the options at the top of the rental items panel that you can use to specify the time frame of the rental item availability that you want to view:

  • View

    Select the Go to Date list item from the View list and enter a date to move the display to the date that you specify. If no contract or reservation extends to the date that you enter, the system moves your cursor to the end of the farthest extending contract or reservation.

    Select the Time Scale list item from the View list and specify the time period of the major and minor axes. For example, if you select Month for the major axis and Week for the minor axis, the chart shows each week in a month.

  • Zoom To

    Select a list item from the Zoom To list to specify the time period to view. For example, if you select Month, the display changes to show availability for the next month. You can use the scroll bar to view a longer time period or select a different Zoom To list item to change the display again.

  • Zoom In and Zoom Out icons

    You can click the Zoom In and Zoom Out icons to change the time scale of the chart. Every time that you click Zoom In, the time frame changes to a greater level of detail. For example, if your chart is set to display information for three months and you click the Zoom In icon, the chart changes to display the item availability using months as the major axis and weeks as the minor axis. If you click the Zoom In icon again, the chart changes to display the item availability using weeks as the major axis and days as the minor axis. Likewise, if you click the Zoom Out icon, the chart changes to a less detailed time frame each time that you click the Zoom Out icon.
