Overview

You can use

...

 Display Contexts to conditionally display reservation information on a calendar, depending on factors such as the reservation type or the current view the user is on.

The information you can display in this way, can be found in two areas on the calendar:

1. A Reservation Title Group, which is a collection of fields shown on the reservation block

An explanation of Context

A Reservation's context consists of four parts

...

1. Resource Type

...

2. Reservation Type

...

So for example a reservation of type: Meeting, with B25__Resource__c = MeetingRoom 1 (of type MeetingRoom), being viewed on the Calendar called Resources on the View WeekView, would have the context of :

...

But if the user changes to the view DayView the context would change to:

...

Determining what context will be used to determine what hover and what titles wil lbe shown.

When determining what context to use, Booker25 compares the reservation context to all contexts that have been defined.

First, all contexts with conflicting values are discarded. This means that if the Reservation for example has Reservation Type: Meeting room, all Contexts that have Reservation Type filled in with a different value wil be discarded.
If a Context has no value in the Reservation Type field, it will not be discarded.

Second, the remaining contexts are ranked in the following way:

1. Matching resource type
2. Matching reservation type
3. Matching view
4. matching calendar

Empty values do not count as a match.

...

Now follow a few examples of what context would match in certain situation using the following contexts:

...

1. Resource Type

...

A Reservation with Reservation Type: Meeting on the Resource Calendar will use the Meeting Context. The Staff Meeting Context is discarded because the Calendar has a conflicting value and the Fallback Context has no matches to add to it's rank.
