Time Line View for EGC

Time Line View for EGC is an additional view for Exchange Group Calendar Graph. It shows your existing group calendars as a clear timeline. Employees or resources are shown on the left, time runs across the top, and appointments appear as colored bars.

This is useful for reception, planning, internal support, service desks or an in/out board on a shared screen.

What you see

  • multiple selectable group calendars
  • employees on the vertical axis
  • time on the horizontal axis
  • Outlook states such as Busy, Free, Out of Office and Working elsewhere
  • EGC category colors
  • search field
  • day, work week and week views
  • automatic refresh
  • clear legend

Category colors leading

EGC has its own category management. Time Line View can therefore show appointments in the colors of the EGC categories. The status color remains visible as a narrow bar on the left side of the appointment, so you can see both the meaning of the appointment and the availability state.

Beta version

This is a beta version with basic functionality. The tool is already usable, but it will be expanded based on customer feedback.

Do you need something specific for your organization, such as extra filters, different colors, a customized reception view or extra columns? Let us know. Targeted extensions are handled free of charge during the beta phase.
