Scheduling Module - Weekly View
    
(For in-depth data on each appointment, click here.) View of scheduling screen
Special Features:

1.  On-screen schedule displays one week at a time, with days down the left side and times across the top.

2.  The tools across the top are used to change the week being viewed. Previous / Next week buttons move the display one week at a time; the "+ weeks" drop-down list allows you to select a number of weeks to jump forward.

3.  Appointments are displayed as colored bars positioned on the day/time grid. "Drag-n-drop" functionality makes it easy to adjust your schedule by pointing your mouse at the appointment bar and dragging it to a new time or date.

4.  Adding a new appointment is also easy: simply drag the mouse in the appropriate area of the grid where you want the appointment to appear. The Appointment form will then open for you to enter additional details. Click here to see Appointment form.

5.  Buttons across the bottom of the schedule allow you to print the information, or to switch to a monthly view of your schedule. The "Options..." button gives you control over the appearance of the schedule, including your standard start / end times for workdays, and the specific information you want to see in the appointment bars. For example, you can have each bar display the customer's phone number, how many horses you'll be working on, their street address, city, and more.

Additional Features...
  • Appointments can be scheduled any day of the week, from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm.
  • Appointment collision processing prevents appointments from overlapping.
  • Schedule appointments with yourself to visually block out personal and vacation time.
  • Appointments are linked to a contact or location.  Optionally, you can then specify which horses are to be worked during the visit. Click here to see Appointment form.
  • Schedule can be printed in two ways:
    1. Daily: One day per page to take on rounds. Includes client names, phone numbers and outstanding balances. Optionally can include detailed information on the horses to be worked.
    2. Weekly: One week per page, formatted very similar to this screen.
