Summary
Sometimes the Cloud 9 schedule rows or columns can end up too large or too small, making it hard to read or requiring too much scrolling. This article explains how to quickly adjust both to get your schedule looking the way you want.
Overview
Cloud 9 allows you to adjust the row height and column width on the schedule, which is a helpful feature for tailoring the view to your screen size or personal preference. This can also happen by accident, causing the schedule to look different than usual when you open it. Either way it is an easy fix.
Prerequisite Reading: Before working through this article, make sure you are familiar with the Scheduling window in Cloud 9. See the Cloud 9: Navigating the Schedule article here for more information
Adjusting the Row Height
The row height controls how tall each time slot appears on the schedule. If the rows are too large you may find yourself scrolling more than usual. If they are too small the schedule can be hard to read.
If your schedule rows are too large:
Place your cursor on one of the lines between the time slots on the left side of the schedule grid. When you are in the right spot your cursor will change from a regular arrow to a double-headed arrow pointing up and down. Click and drag upward to reduce the row height. See the video below that shows how to adjust it.
Tip: A little goes a long way. Make small adjustments and check the result before dragging further.
If your schedule rows are too small:
Follow the same steps as above but drag downward instead of upward to increase the row height. Because the rows are already close together it may take a little more patience to get the cursor in exactly the right spot, but the same double-headed arrow will appear when you are in position.
Once you have the row height where you want it you are done. Cloud 9 will save the setting automatically so it will look the same the next time you open the schedule.
Fine Tuning Your Schedule View
You do not have to wait until something looks wrong to make adjustments. Even small changes to the row height can make a noticeable difference when you are looking at the schedule all day. If the current view feels slightly off, try adjusting it until it feels comfortable for your screen and workflow.
