[[File:Last one.png|thumb]]One of the most significant challenges in scheduling events is finding a time that works for all participants.
= Integrated Availability View =
In this post, we will explore our solution for preventing the user from navigating separate windows or assistants for finding out about availability of participants while creating a new event. And why this is important.


== The Need for Availability Insights ==
To enhance user experience, we propose integrating participant availability directly into the New Event dialog.


* '''Time Conflicts''': Users often struggle with scheduling conflicts when trying to coordinate with multiple participants. Visualizing availability can alleviate this issue significantly.
This integration would include:
* '''Enhanced Decision-Making''': By providing real-time availability data, users can make informed decisions about when to schedule events without back-and-forth communication.


== Our solution ==
* Availability indicators while typing/searching participant names
* A comprehensive table showing globally all participants' availability with color-coded status indicators:
** All available
** No information
** Some available/some not
** Blocked


* '''Availability Indicators''': We use color-coded indicators next to each participant's name (e.g., green for available, red for busy) to provide immediate visual feedback on their status.
* Tooltip functionality on hover, displaying detailed availability information
* '''Hover Tooltips''': When users hover over these indicators, tooltips can display detailed information about each participant’s availability (e.g., "Available 2 PM - 4 PM"). 
 
* '''Availability table:''' Below the list of participants, expanding the label 'Availability of participants' we included a colorful table that shows the free slots for everybody. <br />
