I can't find enough information on the user manual on how to configure the headers on the Equipment Schedule component, if at all possible, other than styles.

> **[Perspective - Equipment Schedule | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-display-palette/perspective-equipment-schedule)**
>
> The Equipment Schedule component is a mix between the Status Chart, Gantt Chart, and Calendar components.

This is the image shown on the manual for example.

Which is already slightly different from what I currently get on **8.1.42**

For example, the dates on the manual are just numbers, which is cleaner, and that was my first goal. My second desired configuration, if possible, would be to display primary/secondary/tertiary headers in different scales and/or different formats. The current scale is out of proportion for certain applications like mine, where it's more oriented to a weekly, monthly, and quarterly schedule. Currently it jumps from days to months, and it would be nice to have more granularity in between.

For example, here are some suggestions:  
Days: primary = month-year // secondary = fiscal week // tertiary = day of month.  
Weeks (new): primary = quarter-year // secondary = month // tertiary = fiscal week  
Months: primary = year // secondary = quarter // tertiary = month

The application is for internal use in the company for resource allocation. I understand that this component might have been originally designed for a different type of application, but it's close enough that I can make it work with just a few adjustments. I'm adding some workarounds to accommodate different styles for weekends, holidays, etc. So, please consider my perspective (pun intended) and the above stated as a potential use for improvements on the component.

I'm pretty close to getting it to where it does everything that I need, but please let me know if there's a better component for this type of application such as on ignition exchange.

I can only help you with your first desire, just change your session props \> locale to "es-EN".

I see your intention, but I didn't mean to switch to Spanish. Or did you mean a different locale?
