Scheduler Views

General overview of what information is shown in each subview of the new scheduler.

Key goal of the scheduler is to provide relevant context to schedulers so that they can make the best decisions for when to schedule games and optimize their limited ice time as much as possible without automatically scheduling their games for them

	Day	Week	Month	Season

	Day	Week	Month	Season
Context questions/goals	What’s going on at each surface on that day? When exactly can a game be scheduled?	What are both teams doing on each day? What days are available to be scheduled?	Where can games be most optimally scheduled?	Similar to the month view, but on the scale of a whole season Birds eye view to comparatively show when teams have available time and when they’re not available
Design	Single day with surfaces as each column and time along the y-axis to show a side-by-side view of what’s going on at each surface	Days of the week as each column, time along the y-axis. Could show surfaces as repeated time along y-axis (third dimension)	Traditional month calendar view that shows events as a list on each day	Teams (of the schedule) as columns, days (with available time slots) as rows Able to click on a time slot and select the opposing team (based on unscheduled games). Team will be based on if it’s a home or away time slot
No game selected Schedule page	N/A (not enough context about which arenas to show)	N/A (too much data)	N/A (too much data)	Each cell shows the available time slots for a home or away game (marked distinctly), along with any other event slots (game, draft game, practice, activity) or scheduled tournament
No game selected Office page	All surfaces of the office as if a game is selected (see below)	?	N/A	N/A
Game selected	Surfaces are based on the home team office (or configured schedule override office for tournaments) Availability shown as base layer; gray for unavailable and green for available Time slots shown as first layer; designed as droppable spots Games, drafts and practices shown as top layer based on all events and data of the surfaces Selected game: dark blue Current schedule game: blue Current schedule draft game: blue slashed? Other schedule game: light blue Other schedule draft game: light blue slashed? Practice: purple Other team practice: light purple	Availability - green if any home team rink has availability Time slots - ? Games, drafts, practices shown as top layer based on the selected game’s home/away teams	Availability - green if home/away team have availability, grey if they have unavailability Time slots - show a ratio of time slots available to home/away teams Potential to play with a ratio design to highlight deficiencies and surpluses Games - list of home/away games Multi-day design (like Google Calendar) showing other schedules these teams are playing in Highlights other tournaments and concurrent schedules to be aware of	No changes compared to selected state. Allows drag and drop into a time slot
