Utilization of locations

To open the utilization of locations, choose Event managementUtilization of locations.
Avendoo® shows the Gantt diagram regarding the utilization of locations.

This Gantt diagram shows you the utilization of your rooms per location in the appropriate event dates, whereas the colored marking of the weekend is always set by default. You can show the utilization of a whole month about one day. Also you can show all event dates of the day in the gray field on the right side by clicking on the room or location title (see second screenshot).

Furthermore you can restrict the selection in the Gantt diagram via multiple filter. Further you can sort the diagram by the shown columns if you click on the heading of the appropriate column.

The meaning of the colored marking of the entries you find in the legend below the Gantt diagram.

To display the details of an entry, click on the box of the appropriate entry. You get the title and further information of the event date at the right margin.

To sort the diagram by rooms, click on the column Room. Avendoo® sorts the rooms under the sorting of the locations alphabetically up or down. To redo this sorting, click on the column Location.

To display the time of utilization on a certain day, click first on the month and then on the day. If you click then on the hour, you get the event dates of all filtered elements for this hour listed in the right, scrollable window.

In the left menu area you can use the filter with the following search functions: Location, room designation, street address, city, country room with a minimum capacity of, active venues and rooms only, by location type (event location, hotel), equipment, event date template and starting date, end date and only resources being used. If you filter by active locations and rooms, Avendoo® shows you these locations, which are selected as Active location on the tab Parameters in the Venue assistant, and these rooms, which are selected as Active room on the tab Parameters in the Room assistant.

Via the filter Event date template you can restrict the display to these locations or rooms, which are in a certain event date template. Thus you can check, if all locations or rooms are available for the planning of an event date.
