The Teamer App serves to organize different types of events for channels. For this purpose, it is divided into three tabs, including Calendar, Events and Projects.
The Events tab in the Teamer app provides a dashboard-style view for monitoring all types of Teamer events and projects, which are displayed across multiple sections.
The Calendar tab, in turn, allows to create and schedule events into the calendar, while Projects are created and managed in the Projects tab:
Under Sections (1), there are various sections that all represent different event categories or data sources. Those categories can be shown or hidden and individually configured.
The view is time-based and can be navigated freely across any date range via the date and day pickers (2).
It is also possible to activate the edit mode (3), which allows to move the sections as desired.
