Unplanned Events

24Planning allows you to work with unplanned events that appear in a sidebar on the planning board. From the sidebar, they can be dragged and dropped onto the canvas. The fields shown in the unplanned events sidebar is configurable via Dynamic Fields.

You can set the following parameters for unplanned events:

Enable unplanned events: Enable/disable unplanned events for a particular datasource.
Type: The type determines the behaviour when dropping unplanned events on the canvas:
- Resource: Assign a resource to an unplanned event. The dates of the event are known upfront. E.g. assign a meeting room for a meeting (=event) for which the time schedule is known. You are unable to drop this event on an alternative date. The event should have a valid start and end date.
- Time: Assign a time slot for an unplanned event when the resource is already known. You will not be able to allocate the event to another resource. The event should have a valid resource.
- Resource and Time: You can allocate both a timeslot and a resource to the unplanned event.
Limit records: limits the number of unplanned events for a datasource. When the number of unplanned events exceeds the limit, only the first set of events will be loaded and search is limited to those events that have been effectively loaded in the planning app.
Event filter: when a filter is applied, only events that match the filter will show up in the unplanned events sidebar.
