Scheduler Pro Description

Scheduler for Windows is a complete scheduling application developed for scheduling resources using drag and drop technology with a full simple to use graphical interface. As it uses FileMaker to store the scheduling information, it can simply be integrated into your own FileMaker solution, or you can built your own solution around the sample database provided with Scheduler. Scheduler for FileMaker is just what you've been looking for. It interfaces seamlessly with FileMaker using ODBC and automatically updates the records in FileMaker instantly. Scheduler gives you full drag-and-drop capability when creating and managing your resources with data directly from FileMaker. It can be used over a network or VPN. In fact as long as you have IP access to your database, you can access the data within your solution. You don't have to have FileMaker open on your local machine to utilise Scheduler as long as you have access to the hosted database on FileMaker Server Advanced. If hosting FileMaker locally, the database file must be open. It can be used with FileMaker Server Advanced and is scaleable to as many users as you care to use (within the capabilities of FileMaker). Scheduler can be fully customised for the colours of the scheduled items and you can create your own categories to suit your particular application. It also comes with a selection of different attractive interface colour schemes to choose from and a FileMaker database with full access so it can be fully integrated into your own solution or used as a stand-alone application. Get Scheduler Pro and take it for a test drive to see what it can actually do for you! Main features: Graphically schedule events and resources with drag and drop: Create as many schedules for your resources as you like. There are an unlimited number of resources that can be created to suit your requirements. Once a schedule has been created, it can be rescheduled by selecting the schedule and dragging it to another resource or time of day. Scheduling of unlimited resources: Create as many resources as you require. Each type of resource (e.g. Engineers/Vehicles/Staff) can have there own category and have as many resources in that category as you so like. Different resource categories can be viewed in Scheduler at the click of a button. Custom mouse over tooltips: When a user hovers over a schedule with the mouse while holding the shift key, a tooltip pops up with developer defined text from the schedule record can be customised to your choice. Custom schedule text: The text displayed in the grid for each schedule can be customised to display any information from the schedule record. When the mouse hovers over the schedule, the text for the schedule is displayed in a popup (useful for a lot of text). Custom Event Types: Create and manage custom event types for each resource category within Scheduler. Below is an example of two categories of resources (Vehicles and Engineers) with different event types: The resource category "Vehicles" could have the following event types: Maintenance, Leased, Booked, Out of Order, etc. (Unlimited) The resource category "Engineers" could have the following event types: Call out, Meeting, Onsite, Holiday, etc. (Unlimited) The number of resource categories available is unlimited. Here are a few examples; Vehicles, Engineers, Stock Items, Inventory, Staff, and each with their own set of event types. Manage Resources within Scheduler: The resource categories can be administered within Scheduler. Create as many resources as required and categorise them to manage them all efficiently. You can then switch between each resource category at the click of a button to view the difference schedules. Each resource category can have its own customised set of events - See "Custom Event Types". Group resources together: You can group your resources together in as many groups as you like and give the group a name (for example a department or team). Also a resource can belong to more than one group. Email Individual Schedules: Scheduler will send an email to any resource and show the current schedule in view. This can be sent has an HTML email or as an attachment with an HTML web page. Print schedules as HTML. Send as HTML email/attachment or publish HTML page to the web Scheduler has the ability to generate an HTML page of the current schedule in view. This can be of a month schedule/ day by day or up to 3 months in advance. This could be uploaded to a web server for all visitors to view or used with the FileMaker 8.5 web viewer. The HTML can also be emailed and zipped. Inherit FileMaker privileges: As each Scheduler user logs in with their FileMaker username and password, the privilege set is inherited while using Scheduler. For example, by limiting the 'edit/create' privileges in the 'Schedule' table the user will only have view privileges of the scheduled data. Scheduler Toolbar - Switch to FileMaker, Scheduler, or Mail Client at the click of a button The Toolbar gives users quick options from the top of the screen. The Toolbar has two views, a larger, colourful view or a simple, smaller compact view. The tool bar is optional and does not need to be displayed at all. The following commands can be run from the Toolbar: Customise start/finish time of day: You may not run a 9-5 business, therefore the start/finish time of the day can be customised to your needs, in 15 minute time slots.

Simply change the name of the database to access at login. Click "Options" on the login screen, then change the name of the database solution in the "FileMaker DB Name:" box. Note: Ensure the I.P. address matches the host of the FileMaker Solution.

As a result, no one resource can be booked in more than one place at any one time! Multi-day scheduling. Schedule resources easily across multiple days: Select a start date and time and a finish date and time for a schedule to be booked (e.g. a two week holiday/business trip/maintenance) and the schedule will unavailable for the duration of the booking, allowing you to easily manage the resources time.

For example, switch to Engineers, and then to Meeting Rooms, and then to Projectors (Inventory Items) at the click of the mouse. Scheduler has the ability to switch the current resource category without restarting FileMaker or Scheduler. The number of resource categories is unlimited as well as the number of resources!

Find schedules by Reference ID, name of booking, date, time, resource name or event type: Cannot find a schedule that has just been booked? No problem, Scheduler has its own built-in search facility that will search the database from a set criteria. If you enter the schedule ID, Scheduler will jump to the day the schedule is booked and flash to alert you of its location. Monthly/Weekly view of schedules for all/selected resources: As well as a day-to-day view, Scheduler has a monthly and weekly view. A monthly view can be display a selected resources schedules for the selected month, or all schedules for all resources for the selected month. The weekly view can display the schedules for a selected resource from one day to 90 days. Multi-Day (Custom) view of schedules for all/selected resources: By selecting Multi-Day view (from the 'View' file menu in Scheduler), a custom number of days (up to 90 days) can be selected to view all schedules for the current resource category. So for example, you will be able to display all schedules for all engineers for the next 90 days. Each day is colour coded to graphically represent the number of schedules a particular resource has on that day. Within each day, all schedules can be listed or simply the number of schedules the respective resource has for the day, giving immediate indication of the resources availability. There is the added option to exclude weekends, if so desired. Show and Hide Resources: When viewing many resources, it may be necessary to hide certain resources in Scheduler , especially during busy periods. It will make the current view more meaningful and simplistic on the eye. Even more so if comparing schedules. The resources that are hidden can also be inverted at the click of a button. Run FileMaker scripts from within Scheduler: Create your scripts in FileMaker and select which scripts to display in a drop-down menu in Scheduler (each script can have its own custom name). Select from the drop-dwon menu in Scheduler which script you would like to run and FileMaker will execute it. NOTE: FileMaker must be open on the client machine for the scripts to run. Monitor user logons: The Audit Trail monitors when a user logs in and out of Scheduler. This can be toggled on/off. Lockout Scheduler users from FileMaker: Lock users from using Scheduler. For example: If essential updates are needed to your application. If set to Yes, users will not be able to log into Scheduler. NOTE: This will not affect users that are currently logged in.
