How to access Scheduling Assistant
Planner's old scheduler has been given an update and renamed to Scheduling Assistant. It is only available if you have the secretary right in Planner. You can access it by clicking the button Scheduling assistant in the black bar at the top. The default view will be on the day you open it, but you can change the view to another day, or to get an overview of the entire week by clicking the buttons.
How to get an overview
The point of the scheduling assistant is to give you a quick overview and a fast way to book a meeting. Here you can see which rooms are occupied and when. It also shows how many attendees the meeting has, so you can move the meeting to a room with a more fitting capacity.

How to use the filters
The filters can be a very powerful tool to get a quick overview. By clicking "Filters" you can see your options
In that picture we only chose one location, but you can choose multiple locations. It can show rooms with a specific capacity or specific criteria. As an example, I wanted a room for 5 people, with chrome cast on the DK - lyngby location. So I filled out the filter and clicked "Apply filter"
That gives me this view of rooms that fulfil these criteria
You can instantly remove all filters so you can see all the meeting rooms by clicking "Clear all"
