Warnings

Classifications help you to quickly identify the most appropriate entries for a current selection, e.g. those who have been used for certain assignments less frequently or not recently. The range of values is divided into subranges, which are represented by unique symbols:

<span>Frequency range</span> 
<br><span>The frequency range of assignments or selections is indicated by the number of checked boxes:</span> 
<br><span>☐☐☐☐☐ no record of an assignment or selection yet</span> 
<br><span>☑☐☐☐☐ low</span> 
<br><span>☑☑☐☐☐ below average</span> 
<br><span>☑☑☑☐☐ average</span> 
<br><span>☑☑☑☑☐ above average</span> 
<br><span>☑☑☑☑☑ high</span>

<span>Time range</span> 
<br><span>A time range is represented by one of the following moon phase symbols:</span> 
<br><span>🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕 (shortest to the longest time range)</span>

<span><a id="lookup_control_details_timeline">Timeline</a></span> 
<br><span>A timeline, representing 4 weeks before and after the selected week, may accompany the symbol of the time range classification, and highlights the most recent filtered assignments.</span> 
<br><span>The closest assignments, independently of any filters, are displayed as an arc below (weekend) or above (midweek) the week's marker. The highlighted part of it represents the assignment's meeting section.</span> 
<br><span> Assisting or supplementary parts are displayed as outlined symbols.</span> 

<span><a id="lookup_control_details_history">History</a></span> 
<br><span>Up to three additional lines may be used to display a brief historical record in the details. The number of displayed lines can be adjusted in the settings [6].</span> 
<br><span>In case of assignments, a checkbox indicates completed assignments. Canceled assignments have no checkbox and other labels are striked through. If the role of an assignee in a meeting part is assistant or supplementary, the checkbox is displayed behind a vertical bar.</span>
