Applying Filters
- Diane Momongan (Unlicensed)
NOTE
Applying filters will affect the contents of your main calendar view. Hidden events will either appear with a semi-transparent overlay or be outright hidden based upon your user profile settings (refer to this page on how to make it transparent or hidden: Calendar Edit Preferences).
The event types, resource types, and all the other variables used to filter more the sessions and events view are highly customisable. Please feel free to contact our Support Team if you have any questions to the default types and variables mentioned in the examples below.
