# Calendar

## What is it?

The calendar shows planned and actual test case entries, maintenance,
milestones, and station reservations for the organization in a month, week,
day, or list view. Filter chips let you show
or hide test cases (planned/actual), maintenance, milestones, and
reservations; clicking a day shows its details below.

## How to use it

- **Filtering:** The chips at the top ("Test cases (planned)", "Test cases
  (actual)", …) toggle each event type on or off. You can also filter by
  station and project.
- **Configuring display fields:** Under Settings → Calendar you can configure
  which extra information a test case entry shows: project, test object,
  station, and time.
- **Scheduling mode (work calendar):** Also under Settings → Calendar,
  "Scheduling mode" determines organization-wide how test durations are
  converted into calendar entries — "Continuous (24/7)" (default) counts every
  duration calendrically, even over weekends; "Working hours only" schedules
  test cases only within the working days and hours defined there. Individual
  test cases can override this mode — see "Overriding working-hours mode per
  test case" under `testsequenzen`.
- **Sequences in the calendar:** The test sequence itself no longer appears
  here as its own combined entry — only its individual test cases. The
  schedule bar for a whole sequence still shows on that project's page.
- **Station occupancy calendar:** On the stations overview and the station
  detail page, the occupancy calendar shows which test cases and
  reservations occupy a station and when — one bar per test case or
  reservation, not per sequence — including detection of double bookings:
  when two bars overlap, each shows on its own row instead of stacking into
  one. A booking's tooltip also names its sequence, or for a reservation,
  its reason and who reserved it. How to resolve a detected double booking
  directly is described under `pruefstaende`.

## Common issues

- **"I don't see one entry for the whole sequence."** That's intentional —
  the calendar only shows the individual test case entries of a sequence.
  The sequence bar as a whole shows in the schedule on the project page.
- **"Events far in the past or future are missing."** The lab calendar loads
  reservations, milestones, and maintenance in a window of about 6 months
  back and 18 months ahead. Very many concurrent projects can additionally
  limit the test case view to the most recently active projects — the page
  then shows a notice. If you only want one station's occupancy, the
  station detail page is faster; for a single project, the schedule on the
  project page is enough.
- **"An entry appears twice (planned and actual)."** That's intentional:
  planned shows the schedule, actual shows what really happened. Both views
  can be shown/hidden independently via the filter chips.
