sheet numbers

planned

Chris

When creating a schedule, the sheet numbers and letters are fixed. It would be nice to be able to edit these when not all sheets are in use. For example: there are 8 sheets in total, we are only using 4 of them and we desire to use sheets 3,4,5 and 6. IO is locking us to 1,2,3 and 4.

Thanks!

Will this be implemented in time for this curling season?

Dave Rapin: Thank you very much Dave!  The comma delimited closed list would work but indicating the closed sheets may be confusing for some.  If that makes the backend easy though, by all means, it will work.  
As a suggestion, I do think a "use sheets" model selected by check boxes would be ideal.
Rationale is long term idea of clubs possibly using IO one day for complete ice scheduling with overall sheet availability.  Thought being if 4 sheets are in use for an event, other sheets could be used by another event at the same time.  The "use sheets" model would secure those sheets against one event leaving the remaining open for scheduling. 
Our interclub can also play at multiple facilities, so integrating the ability to select the rink and sheets would also be ideal, but one day maybe.
Thanks again for looking into this, looking forward to seeing it!

Chris: Chris: Most of the time a club will use all of its sheets for a league or competition. We only want to handle the abnormal case of excluding sheets, so that it can be safely ignored most of the time (which will be 100% of the time at a lot of our clubs).

Yes I agree that eventually it can fit into a capacity calculation for ice rentals / booking (something we eventually plan to have).

Dave Rapin: Fair enough. Thank you again for looking into this!

I think the best way to handle this is to have a comma delimited list of sheets that are closed.
So if you wanted 3,4,5,6 you would specify that "1,2" are closed. If you wanted to use sheets 1,2,4,5, then you would specify that "3" is closed. etc.
This will also allow you the flexibility to exclude the edges in a competitive league for example. E.g. "1,8" to use only 2,3,4,5,6,7 (or B,C,D,E,F,G).
