How to Read the Timetable
Choose the best time for your meeting using the color coded results table.
The color-coded system shows the most and least convenient times for your meeting (See Figure 3):
if the local time in ALL* of the selected cities is in the typical first half of the day when most people are at work (Monday – Friday).
if it is day time in ALL* of the selected cities.
if it is night time or normal sleeping hours in one or more of the selected cities.
if the time-slot has already passed. These rows will be marked with “In the Past”.
*Exception: If you have a large number of locations, there is a chance that you could get green or yellow rows, even if one or a few of the cities fall outside the given rules.
