The Zoom functionality in PADS4 Scheduler allows you to adjust the level of detail displayed in the Calendar View. This is especially useful when working with dense schedules or reviewing long-duration presentations.
Note: Not all Calendar modes support zooming. Zoom functionality is available in Day, Work Week, Week, and Timeline views, but not in Month view.

​
Zoom In

To increase the zoom level (view finer time details):
  1. Go to the View tab in the ribbon bar.
  2. In the Zoom group, click Zoom In.
This narrows the time scale, showing smaller intervals (e.g., 15-minute blocks instead of 30-minute blocks).

​
Zoom Out

To decrease the zoom level (view a broader time overview):
  1. Go to the View tab in the ribbon bar.
  2. In the Zoom group, click Zoom Out.
This expands the view, displaying more hours or days at once.

​
Select a Specific Zoom Level

To jump directly to a predefined zoom level:
  1. In the Zoom group of the View tab, click Zoom Level.
  2. A dropdown menu will appear with available levels.
