Inline Editing Details Fields

Security Note

You need Edit object security permission for an event, location, or organization to be able to edit it. In addition, if your user does not have permission to view Contacts (Basic: 7.0 View Contacts), the default scheduler or some object contacts may not be accessible. If you're unable to edit a field you think should be available to you, contact your 25Live administrator.

You can inline edit details from any of the following object views:

Many details can be quickly edited inline from the details view, including text-based fields, image fields, and more.

Some comment fields are large text fields and can only display plain text, such as those used in event details.

Some comment fields use rich text editors for inline editing that can render styles, images, and some HTML (such as links or embedded elements). Examples of uses include adding emphasis to text, images of resources, or 360-degree views of locations. Look for the rich text menus and controls to tell if the field accepts styled elements.

Image URL Fields

Dropdown Menu Fields

To edit any fields in Details views displayed as a drop-down menu, simply tap or click on the menu then scroll to select a choice. Some fields, such as Event Type, contact roles such as the Scheduler and Requestor, and Organization use a search field to make selecting your choice easier.

How To Configure a Location For Express Scheduling

The location details view provides an inline editable capability to configure a location to be used with Express Scheduling.

  • Use the Edit icon edit icon to set the Maximum Event Duration allowed for express events in this location.

Express Scheduling does not bypass Object Security or Assignment Policy.  Users reserving a location using Express Scheduling must have object security permission to see and assign the location, and the Assignment Policy for the location must be set to Assign/Unassign or higher. You may want to adjust the location security settings.
