Color Coding Bookings To Aid Scheduling
Scheduling can be very complex. It is important then for scheduling software
to incorporate way to cut through this complexity. CyberMatrix scheduling
software uses color-coding to make the scheduling process easier to
follow.
In Pro Schedule appointments can be assigned a color to the appointment
itself, to the appointment status, to the appointment topic, to the person
the appointment is with, the client the appointment is with, the room the
appointments is in or to the category of the person. If you are using the
simple payment feature then all unpaid appointments will be red. If you have
set the "Show current time" colored bar will be shown across the schedule
grid indicating the current time.
The different Pro Schedule color options have a priority. The priority
listing is as follows:
Status
Appointment
Topic
Person
Client
Room
Category
Similarly, in Meeting Manager bookings can be assigned a color to the booking
itself, to the resource that is booked, to the booking topic or to the person
who made the booking.
The different Meeting Manager color options also have a priority. The
priority listing is as follows:
Booking
Resource
Topic
User
In both Meeting Manager and Pro Schedule, if you have set the "Show current
time" colored bar will be shown across the schedule grid indicating the
current time. If you have set the "Show current items options" then the
bookings taking place right now will be colored green.
In the CyberMatrix Class Scheduler software the classes seen in the class
schedule can be color coded. Classes can be color coded by Class, Class Type,
Student and by Group. The Class Type color takes precedence over the Class
color. That is, if you assign colors to both the Class and the Class Type the
Class Type color will be used. The Class color takes precedence over the
Student and Group colors. You can change colors in the form view of the Data
Manager.
In the CyberMatrix Employee Scheduler software the work periods seen in the
work schedule can be color coded. Work periods can be color coded by
Employee, Category and by Shift. The Employee color takes precedence over the
Category color. That is, if you assign colors to both the Employee and the
Category the Employee color will be used. The Category color takes precedence
over the Shift color. You can change colors in the form views of the Data
Manager.
