Filling in the plan

What this is

You fill the plan in the way you would colour cells in the spreadsheet: pick a colour from the key, then click or drag across the days.

There is no Save. A day is written the moment you let go of the mouse, and it records who set it - hover any square to see.

The colour stays picked until you put it down, so you can paint several people in a row without picking it again.

Painted over the wrong days? Undo puts them back. It remembers your last 30 paints and clears until you leave the page.

You need a connection to make changes. If Clarity Resource cannot reach the server it reloads the page, so you always see what was really saved rather than a change that never arrived.

What it looks like

Start to finish

1. Pick a colour from the key along the top. It gets a gold outline.
2. Click a day, or drag along a row or down a column.
3. Carry on with the same colour as long as you need it.
4. Click the picked colour again to put it down.

How to

• Paint one day: pick a colour, then click the square.
• Paint a run of days: pick a colour and drag along the row. You can also press on the colour itself and sweep straight onto the days in one movement.
• Paint the same day for several people: drag down a column.
• Change a day: paint over it with a different colour.
• Clear days: pick × Clear and click or drag over them.
• Pencil someone in: use TBC (the grey ?) until it is confirmed, then paint over it.
• Put the colour down so you cannot paint by accident: click it a second time.
• Undo a mistake: press Undo - the curved arrow beside the pin at the right of the ribbon - or Ctrl+Z. It puts the squares back exactly as they were and saves that. It goes back through your last 30 paints and clears; a Who's free booking is cleared by hand instead.
