2.5 Viewing Schedules
After the user has clicked the "view" button from the main menu, they are presented with a new window containing a dropdown menu presenting the available schedules that have been generated and are ready for viewing, as shown below. Schedules are listed in the dropdown in order of term and year. For "view attributes", see section 2.4.4.
Figure 2.5.1: Schedule Selection.
After they have selected a schedule to view and pressed "view schedule", a new window opens with three selectable lists, which allow the user to filter any of the subsequent views by checking or unchecking given items.
Figure 2.5.2: Filters.
If the user leaves all the checkboxes empty, the tool treats the views as if all checkboxes are selected, and presents the full schedule to the user. The primary view for a schedule is the "list" view tab, shown in figure 2.5.3.

At any time, the user may return to the "filter" tab and apply a new filter to the view.

Once the user has selected items, all the other viewing tabs reflect this filter, as shown in figure 2.5.5.
