Display classes by time with gaps
When I view or print my schedule for the week, without lesson details, I would LOVE to have it display in relationship to TIME, not all bunched together at the top of the page. This would help my colleagues visualize empty periods in my schedule (I'm a librarian)! When one class is 90 minutes and takes up the same amount space as a 30 minute class, or I have a break of 25 minutes, it is hard to read that across a week.

This way I we can easily see when we have a spare or duty, and for how long.

I was wondering if you could add a print feature so that I could print just my classes by day/time Monday thru Friday. I usually have to create a separate schedule in excel to add to the sub folder, but it would be nice to just get this from Planbook since the info is already all there. Thanks!

Hi there, As a teacher I find it very helpful to have my day in coloured blocks of time. For example; a 1 hour class would have a bigger chunk of coloured time than a 30 min class would. Sometimes when you have to shift your lessons in the week quickly it's helpful to see where I could slot something in. It is also extremely helpful for substitute teachers coming in.
I am currently in my trial period but will be subscribing for this year. Would love to see the proportional time slots though. -

Under "Plans" I would like to be able to see my day or week in the same way I view my classes in "Schedule View." Then when I look at my day, I only see the classes I have in the time blocks assigned (and not any plans underneath). When I want to look at the plan for a class, then I could click on the class and it would take me to my plan.

Yes! I completely agree. I really want to like Planbook, but this issue is really frustrating! I hope it can be fixed ASAP! In Google Docs, you can "merge" and "unmerge" cells to make the blocks the size you need. Would love that option here!

This says "Planned" as of October 15, 2017. Planned for when? Teachers have been asking for it for years! I hate that one class being a double period messes up the alignment for the rest of the day. PLEASE add the ability to display via the time scheduled!

Please get onto this suggestion ASAP.

A horizontal line running through the background to show visually how much time is left in the class period and the day. Potentially the line could move from one day to the next in week and month views to highlight the current day as well.

YES PLEASE! I was literally just thinking this. Is there a reason this hasn't been resolved yet? It's been years.

I agree. This also gets scrambled easily if you're choosing to view events. Even when those events are hidden/unchecked, it can throw one days lessons further down that another. I hate it when a specific class doesn't line up across so that I can easily view the plans for the class across the week.

Why hasn't this been resolved?! It's so frustrating constantly scrolling up and down and I get lost. The classes should line up across the week. Fix this please!

I'm a librarian too and I'd also love this.

For those in Elementary or Early Childhood, allow ability to enlarge/shrink classes to reflect the length of time. That way, even if my morning meeting has more written than math on a particular day, the morning meeting doesn't look like it's massive.

Yes, it would be awesome to be able to see my day with non-contacts and different length lessons. To have the day/week with regular setting out would be great. Thanks for considering this important upgrade!

I would like my times for the week to be straight across.

For example. I have some kids who go to band so I put a band class in but at the same time I have a class doing something else. If they are scheduled at the same time I’d like to see them side by side rather than one after the other.

I would like the option to make the boxes for each class to shrink and expand based on the length of the class. For example, the class that is an hour long should be larger than the class that is 20 minutes long. I am very visual and this would help me a lot! Having the option to go back and forth would be helpful when I am printing so it doesn't take up as much space.
Also, the ability to have a class split up during the day would be helpful. I teach elementary and I start a lesson and have to finish it after my kids go to specialist. Right now, I have to put these in as two separate classes. Having them be one class with split times would make "bumping" and "extending" lessons much easier.
Thanks!

Yes yes yes! Please! I'm a visual planner and need to see the gaps.

Yes, Please add this feature. I think it would be a great benefit and encourage some of the folks I work with who like the traditional paper plans to try planbook. If you could see the same class and time straight across the screen it would be so much easier to look at the week view to see where you are headed. I'm presenting planbook to my colleagues at an in-service soon and would love to see this feature added.

I agree this is my biggest frustration with Planbook. For many of my colleagues that try planbook then quick THIS is the KEY reason. Please add this as quickly as possible
