> Lay the Week view out with each engineer's days side by side under their name and the hours down the left, so you can see everyone's gaps across the week on one screen.

The usual Week view gives each engineer a row and each day a column. If you'd rather see the week the way you see a day, with the times running down the left and every job at the hour it's booked for, switch the week to **Engineers across the top**. Each engineer gets a band with their name, and under it a column for every day of the week.

## Switch it on

1. Open the [**Schedule**](/schedule) on a computer and tap **Week**.
2. Press **View** at the right-hand end of the row with **Day**, **Week** and **Month**.
3. Under **Week layout**, pick **Engineers across the top**.

Your computer remembers it, so the week opens that way next time. Pick **Engineers down the side** to go back. Each computer keeps its own choice, so the screen on the office wall can show the week one way and your laptop the other.

## Reading it

- **The band over each engineer's days** carries their name and how many bookings they have that week. It's in the engineer's diary colour if you've given them one in [**Settings → Team → People**](/settings/team/team), and charcoal if not.
- **Unassigned** comes first, on the left, in a week that has jobs with nobody on them.
- **Today** is underlined, and a red line across today's columns marks the time now.
- **A kept-free or closed day** is hatched, the same as on the Day view.
- **Click a day's heading** to open that day in the Day view.

## Move a job

Drag a job up or down to change its time, sideways to another day, or into another engineer's band to hand it over. Mucka asks before it double-books anyone, exactly as it does on the Day view. Click an empty spot to book a job or an appointment for that engineer, on that day, at that time.

## Make it fit

A team's whole week is a lot of columns, so it scrolls sideways to keep each one readable. In the same **View** menu:

- **Fit to screen** squeezes every column onto the screen, and the hours to its height. Hover a job for its details when the columns get narrow.
- **Weekends** adds Saturday and Sunday.
- **Working hours only** shows your working hours, stretched to take in anything booked outside them. Untick it to see the whole day.

The **View** menu also has the key to what the job colours mean, if you colour jobs by where they're at.

<Callout>
Travel times between jobs, and the "likely to run late" notes, show on the Day view only.
