Planning in freispace
freispace has a range of different planners that allow you to plan your resources, staff and rooms in a way that suits your needs. Whether you want to plan on a day-to-day basis, or get an overview of the next few months, there is a planner for you.
Overview of planners
The following types of planners are available. Select one to see more details about its features and how to use it.
∞ Continuous
Main, default view. Provides a continuous timeline that allows you to plan across days, weeks and months without interruption. The timeline can be zoomed in and out to show more or less detail as needed.
Unlike the other planners, the ∞ Continuous planner does not have a fixed time range. Instead, it allows you to scroll infinitely in either direction, giving you the flexibility to plan as far into the past or future as needed.
Depending on the zoom level, the timeline will show different time increments, ranging from hours to days to weeks to months.
Month
A monthly planner that shows an overview of the entire month. This is useful for getting a high-level view of your bookings and availability.
Week / Work Week
A weekly planner that shows a week at a time. The work week view is similar but only shows Monday to Friday, which can be useful for office environments.
Day
A daily planner that shows a single day in detail. This is useful for planning out the schedule for a specific day.
Vertical Day
A variation of the day planner that shows the resources in columns and the time in rows, allowing for easier comparison of resource availability throughout the day.
Gantt
A Gantt-style chart view of one or multiple projects, including phases, milestones and dependencies. This is useful for project planning and management.
Milestone
A planner that focuses on milestones, showing them in a timeline view. Great for tracking important dates and deadlines.
