View options for the new Object Tree

Draw Cancelled: Will show Bookings with Cancelled Substatus

Draw Planning: Will show Bookings with Planning Substatus

Draw Preliminary: Will show Bookings with Preliminary Substatus

Draw Tasks: Will show Task Bookings

Draw Hour Boundary: Enabling this option will display Bookings as small rectangles aligned with the time of day they occur. If unchecked, Bookings will be stacked on top of each other, occupying the entire day's space.

Note Icon: Displays the Booking Note in the Longform and the Object Note through the Note icon. 

If the setting: Draw Hour Boundary is used the Note Icon will only be displayed if there is enough space. 

Add Object To The List: When selecting the Object in Toolbox > Objects tab > Add To Tree the Object will be added below all the other Objects in the Objects Tree. 

Mouse Over Bookings: Will show the Mouse Over when hovering over a booking.

Use Container/Project/Client Colors: Will show any of these colors, if there are set and overwrite the Booking Status colors.

Always Force Preliminary Colour When Preliminary: Will overwrite all other colors and show the color that is selected for Preliminary in Toolbox > settings tab > Display.

Always Force Planning Colour When Planning: Will overwrite all other colors and show the color that is selected for Planning in Toolbox > settings tab > Display.

Draw Multi Day Events Without Actual Time Range As One: Only works if "Draw Hour Boundary" is set. It will show multiple day Bookings as one, even if they don't go through the night and have: "Use Actual Time Range" set.

Draw Same Projects Consecutive Events As One: If you have an Object with single-day Bookings for the same Project on consecutive days, click this setting to display the Project name across all the days.

Auto Adjust Objects Height: If ticked, the Objects line height will extend to make room for the stacked Bookings. If not ticked, the Booking rectangles will adjust themselves to the line height given.

Break Event On Days With Multiple Events To See More Text: This setting is only available, if the checkbox "Auto Adjust Objects Height" is not selected. With this new setting it will be possible to see more text of overlapping Bookings, so it displays it similar to the Classic Mode.

Expand Events Height: Will expand the Booking height to occupy the entire height of the Object line. Useful if e.g. on some days you have 2 Bookings that are stacked on top of each other and on other days you have only 1 Booking, this Booking height will then be increased to meet the Object line height of the two Bookings.

Show Number In Name: Will add the Project's Number in () after the Project Name.

Show Conflicts: Option to show or hide any conflicts on Booking. If ticked "Draw Large Conflicted Days Warning" is accessible to be ticked as well.

Draw Large Conflicted Days Warnings: When enabled will show the conflicted days with larger red rectangles instead of small lines at the bottom.

Small and large conflict:                                                                   

Classic Mode: Activating this option restores the traditional view of the Object Tree, including all its settings as they were prior to version 7.1.

Draw Division Icon In Object Tree: If the Division module is licensed it will draw the Division icon on the Booking.

Line Height: Set a default line height which only applies to the Object Tree.

Crop Text: If there not enough space on the Booking to display the selected text, FW can crop the text from Start, Middle or End of the text value. The default of this setting is to crop from the End.

Booking Text Line 1 (When Object): Let's you choose what text to display on the first text line when  Objects are selected in the Tree. 

Options are: Binder Name, Booking Name, Client Name, Project Name. 

If you choose multiple values, they will be separated by a '/'. Example: Booking Name / Project Name

Booking Text Line 2 (When Object): Let's you choose what text to display on the second text line when Objects are selected in the Tree. 

Options are: Binder Name, Booking Name, Client Name, Project Name. 

If you choose multiple values, they will be separated by a '/'. Example: Booking Name / Project Name

Booking Text Line 1 (When Project): Let's you choose what text to display on the first text line when Projects are selected in the Tree. 

Options are: Binder Name, Booking Name, Client Name, Project Name. If you choose multiple values, they will be separated by a '/'. Example: Booking Name / Binder Name

Booking Text Line 2 (When Project): Let's you choose what text to display on the second text line when Projects are selected in the Tree. Options are: Binder Name, Booking Name, Client Name, Project Name. 

If you choose multiple values, they will be separated by a '/'. Example: Booking Name / Binder Name

Text lines will only be displayed if there's enough heigh on the Booking timeline. So even if you selected to display Text Line 2, if there's not enough space, FW will not display the text.

Focus is now set on the Booking that the mouse is hovering over, double click or single click will open the Booking.

Objects Tree Menu > View Mode > will only show: Verified and Verified/Checked Out. Will also show those colors in the new Object Tree.
