Moving Walls Planner
Availability View User Guide
This guide walks through the Availability View in the Moving Walls Planner — checking inventory booking status, filtering the inventory list, changing the time granularity, sorting, exporting availability data, and drilling into spot-level detail across both Digital and Classic inventory.
Overview
Feature | What it does |
Digital / Classic tabs | Switch between digital (screen/spot) inventory and classic (static/billboard) inventory — each has its own list and granularity options. |
Date Range & Granularity | Choose the period to view and the zoom level: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, or Daily. Classic inventory only offers Yearly and Monthly. |
Filter Inventories | Narrow the list by type, media owner, tags, venue type, location, panel specs, deal type, creative type, and more. |
Sort by | Reorder the current page by Default, Least Availability, or Most Availability. |
Download | Export the currently visible availability data as a CSV file. |
Part 1: Viewing Availability (Digital)
1. From the left-hand menu, go to Inventory › Availability. The Availability View opens on the Digital tab by default, showing Daily granularity for today's date.
2. The main table lists every Digital inventory on the left — name, % Available, and Spots open — next to a color-coded hourly timeline, with a legend for Available, Reserved, Booked, and Unavailable.
Availability View — Digital tab, Daily granularity, hovering a cell shows its status
3. Hover over any cell in the timeline to see a tooltip with the exact date, hour, and status for that inventory.
4. Hover over a colored (booked) block to see which campaign occupies that slot.
Hovering a booked block reveals the campaign name — here, “Testcampaign”
Part 2: Choosing a Date Range and Granularity
5. Click the date-range field at the top left to open the calendar. Pick a start and end date across one or two months, then click Apply.
Date range calendar — selecting a range spanning July and August 2026
6. Use the Yearly / Monthly / Weekly / Daily buttons to change how the timeline is bucketed. The “Showing …” label at the top right and the column headers update to match.
Yearly granularity — one column per month
7. In Weekly view, each column is one day across the selected week; in Daily view, each column is one hour across a single day.
Weekly granularity — one column per day
8. Use the ‹ › arrows next to the period field to step to the previous or next period without reopening the calendar.
Part 3: Filtering and Sorting Inventories
9. Click the filter icon next to the search box to open the Filter Inventories panel.
Filter Inventories panel — Type, Media Owner, Tags, Venue Type, Locations
10. Scroll down for more criteria: Panel Resolutions, Deal Types, Creative Types, Display Formats, Player Counts, Illuminated, Orientation, Sizes, and Status.
Additional filter fields further down the panel
11. Set the criteria you need and click Apply Filters, or Cancel filters to discard changes and close the panel.
12. Use the Sort by dropdown at the top right to reorder the current page by Default, Least Availability, or Most Availability. A note under the toolbar reminds you this only reorders the current page — a full cross-page sort needs server support.
Sort by — Least Availability selected
Part 4: Exporting Availability Data
13. Click Download at the top right to export the currently visible availability data.
14. Your browser's Save As dialog opens with a suggested file name (bookings-calendar_digital_<date>) and file type set to CSV (Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File). Confirm the location and click Save.
Save As dialog — CSV file name and type
15. A download confirmation toast appears in the bottom-right corner once the export finishes.
Download confirmation toast
Part 5: Classic Inventory and Spot-Level Detail
16. Click the Classic tab to switch to classic (static/billboard) inventory. This list has its own inventory count and only offers Yearly or Monthly granularity, since classic sites don't need hourly detail.
Classic tab — Monthly granularity, separate inventory list
17. Switch back to Digital, then click the chevron (ˇ) next to an inventory's name to expand it and see its individual spots, each with its own open/total spot count.
Expanded inventory — individual spots with open/total counts
18. Scroll to the bottom of the table for pagination controls: choose Page Items per page (e.g., 10) and use the first / previous / next / last buttons to move through all pages of inventories.
Pagination — 1 to 10 of 71, Page 1 of 8
