The Advanced view of the Schedule Editor has the features of the Basic view with some additional capabilities. All the tasks that you can perform in the Basic view, you can also perform in the Advanced view.

Unlike the Basic view, the Advanced view lists the exception and weekly events in an event tree. In addition, there is a Combined option that displays all the weekly and exception events for a selected date.

Two toggles provide additional options:

  • Mode : Switches between an editor or preview mode.

  • View : Switches between a graphical or text view.
