Re: NOC Calendar

[Chris Garrett <chris () aperturefiber com>]

The readability of this would depended entirely on  your ticket volume. 

What we have run into is that once you get to a point where you have more than 10-15 events per day that you are 
tracking, then the large screen display becomes pretty useless if you want to show them all. 

I attached a weeks worth of display from our ticketing system calendar for reference, and this is only the maintenance 
tickets displayed in this view. 

You would need to aggregate them to a simple number happening that day to show more than a week at a time if you are a 
high volume shop.
