The Axsy Scheduler UI consists of three main sections:
- The list of Visits available to be scheduled
- The list of Resources who can be assigned Visits
- The schedules of each Resource, represented as a horizontal "swim lane"
For more information on the object model that supports Axsy Scheduler, please see the following article: Axsy Scheduler Object Model
The Scheduler UI displays the list of Visits, the list of Resources and the schedule for each Resource
Working with Visits
Visit List and Details
The Visit records displayed in the Visit list are those that have their Is Schedulable field set to true and that are also within the date window configured via the applicable Axsy Scheduler Custom Settings.
For each Visit in the list, the following details are displayed:
- Visit Name/Number
- Status
- Location
- Planned Start and End Times
- Assigned Tags
Please see the following article for more information on managing Scheduler Tags: Managing Scheduler Tags
Each Visit will also have a colored bar which represents its status, allowing for users to quickly determine a Visit's status at-a-glance. The mapping between color and status is given below:
- Blue: Planned
- Yellow: In Progress
- Green: Completed
- Purple: Unscheduled
- Red: Abandoned
- None: Grey
- Error: Orange
Additionally, clicking on a Visit in the list will expand it to show additional details and actions for the Visit.

Editing Visits
Clicking a Visit in the list will give an expanded view for that Visit, including the ability to edit a subset of that Visit's fields. The Edit button and resulting pop-up is also where a user can manage the Tags associated to the Visit.

Determining Visible Hours
By default, Axsy Scheduler determines how many hours of the day should be visible based on the availability hours of the active Scheduler Resources. However, this behaviour can be overridden using the Axsy Scheduler Custom Settings.
For a given Resource, any displayed hours that are outside that Resource's availability will be shown in light grey.
Please see the following article for more information on managing the availability of Resources: Managing Resource Availability
