THE BASICS

ResSched is used to schedule resources. The five basic elements of the program are: Resources; Bookings; Browses; Scans; and Printing.

A resource is anything that you want to schedule. It can be a piece of equipment, a meeting room or even people. The first thing you do with a resource is add it to ResSched. (See: Resource, Add).

If you are scheduling resources for a person or organization, you must add them as clients. (See:  Client, Add).

Once you have added resources to the program, you can begin to make bookings that involve those resources. A booking is an event or activity that will occur. Like resources, the first step is to create or add a booking. (See: Booking, Add/Update).

After you have made several bookings, you will need to browse through them to find one in particular. This is done with the browse features of ResSched. Browse is a text listing of all bookings that have been made. (See: Bookings, Browse).

If you would rather see a graphical representation of your bookings, you can do this using the scan features. Essentially, scan is another way to browse, except your bookings appear in charts or calendars. In this format, not as much information is presented as in the browse mode, but scan does make it easy to quickly see your bookings. (See: Bookings, Scan).

Finally, you may need to print information about your bookings. For single day bookings, you may print through the browse options (See: Booking, Print Single). For multiple-day bookings, you use the calendar feature of ResSched. (See: Calendars, Print).

And that's all there is to it.

To let you get started quickly, the key concepts, windows and instructions have been grouped together. Going through the topics listed below will give you enough information to start using ResSched right away. While these core functions will give you benefits immediately, you will gain more by knowing the many other ResSched functions.
