Schedule & Calendar
Overview
The Schedule section is where you view availability, plan time, and manage bookings across shared resources in Colabmacs.
There are two distinct views, each designed for a different purpose:
- Schedule (Resources view) ā Used to explore availability and create new bookings across one or more resources
- My Calendar ā A personal calendar showing only your bookings, with tools to manage and subscribe to them
Understanding the difference between these views will help you book resources efficiently and avoid conflicts.
Schedule (Resources View)
The Schedule view is a resourceāfocused calendar. It allows you to see availability and bookings for multiple resources at once, grouped by location.
This view shows everyoneās bookings, not just yours.
