Calendar View Update Summary

Overview

Updated the Calendar.vue component from a weekly view to a daily view with foremen as columns and 30-minute time slots as rows.

Key Changes Made

1. Layout Structure

• Before: Weekly calendar with 7 day columns
• After: Daily calendar with 10 foreman columns

2. Header Changes

• Changed from "Sprinkler Service Calendar" to "Daily Schedule - Sprinkler Service"
• Navigation changed from week-based (previousWeek/nextWeek) to day-based (previousDay/nextDay)
• Display shows full day name instead of week range

3. Grid Structure

• Columns: Now shows foremen names instead of days of the week
• Rows: Still uses 30-minute time slots from 7 AM to 7 PM
• Grid template updated from repeat(7, 1fr) to repeat(10, 1fr) for 10 foremen

4. Foremen Data

Added 10 foremen to the system:

• Mike Thompson
• Sarah Johnson
• David Martinez
• Chris Wilson
• Lisa Anderson
• Robert Thomas
• Maria White
• James Clark
• Patricia Lewis
• Kevin Walker

5. Event Scheduling Logic

• Events now filter by foreman name instead of day
• Drag and drop updated to assign services to specific foremen
• Time slot conflict detection now checks per foreman instead of per day
• Preview slots updated to show foreman-specific scheduling

6. Visual Updates

• Foreman headers show name and job count for the day
• CSS classes renamed from day-column to foreman-column
• Updated styling to accommodate wider layout for 10 columns
• Maintained all existing drag-and-drop visual feedback

7. Functionality Preserved

• All existing drag-and-drop functionality
• Service priority handling
• Unscheduled services panel
• Event details modal
• Time slot highlighting for current time

Technical Implementation Details

Data Flow

1. currentDate (string) - tracks the currently viewed date
2. foremen (array) - contains foreman ID and name pairs
3. Services filter by foreman name and scheduledDate matching currentDate
4. Grid renders 10 columns × ~24 time slots (30-min intervals)

Key Methods Updated

• getEventsForTimeSlot(foremanName, time, date) - filters by foreman and date
• isTimeSlotOccupied(foremanName, startTime, duration) - checks conflicts per foreman
• getOccupiedSlots(foremanId, startTime, duration) - preview slots per foreman
• handleDragOver/handleDrop - updated to work with foreman IDs
• Navigation: previousDay(), nextDay(), goToToday()

CSS Grid Layout

.calendar-header-row, .time-row {
  grid-template-columns: 80px repeat(10, 1fr);
}

This provides a time column (80px) plus 10 equal-width foreman columns.

Benefits of New Design

1. Better resource allocation - See all foremen's schedules at once
2. Easier scheduling - Drag services directly to specific foremen
3. Conflict prevention - Visual feedback for time conflicts per foreman
4. Daily focus - Concentrate on optimizing a single day's schedule
5. Scalable - Easy to add/remove foremen by updating the foremen array

Usage

• Use left/right arrows to navigate between days
• Drag unscheduled services from the right panel to specific foreman time slots
• Services automatically get assigned to the foreman and time slot where dropped
• Current time slot is highlighted across all foremen columns
• Each foreman header shows their job count for the selected day
