The schedule

In progress

Practices, meets and closures on a facility day board — and the one thing you cannot do to a repeating block yet.

In progress. Part of this works today. The article says which part.

What you can do today

Schedule (needs manage_schedule) shows a facility day board: for a given pool on a given day, every block of water time, who has it, and which lanes.

This is what a facility manager, a head coach and the front desk all look at, and it is the same board — there is no coach's copy that drifts from the pool's copy.

Blocks

A block is a piece of water time with a squad or a purpose attached. Blocks repeat, which is what makes a season's schedule a handful of entries rather than four hundred.

Lanes

Lane allocation within a block is shown on the lane sheet.

What families see

Families see the sessions that apply to them, sliced by squad — the Today and This week cards on the family home come off this schedule. There is no second calendar to keep in agreement.

What is not built yet

Schedule exceptions are coming soon. Today a repeating block repeats. You cannot yet:

  • Skip one occurrence (a public holiday, a closure)
  • Move one occurrence to a different time
  • Modify one occurrence without touching the rest
  • Edit "this and all following"

This is the biggest gap in the schedule and it is known. Until it lands, handle a one-off closure by telling people — a site alert on the club website is the fastest way to reach everybody at once.

Also still to come: staff resources, which would let a coach be booked into a block the way a lane is.
