Enhanced Scheduling
Posted May 20th, 2008 by vetmpcosta
The objective of this group is to provide a detailed specification for changes needed to the existing workflow modules to enhance the usability of these work spaces in regards booking efficiency, consolidated scheduling views, resource allocations and availabilities.
The first glimpse of the Enhanced Scheduler is available for testing! 
So we can get our first glimpse of version 1.3 on the Demo site at the moment. The requirements document has been worked on by Tim and Tony and their first incarnation is up on the Demo site: demo.openvpms.org/openvpms/login/.
Features include:
- Graphical Workflow -> Scheduling
- Enhanced Click/Mouse behaviour
- Clicking on a slot shows the summary for that appointment and allows editing.
- Double clicking allows a new appointment to be added.
- Double clicking allows a new appointment to be added.
- There are a number of new drop-down boxes allowing;
- Easy Filtering of the schedules into morning/afternoon etc
- There is a View selector (far-left) that allows groups of schedules to be viewed.
- Individual schedules can still be viewed in row format.
- Individual schedules can still be viewed in row format.
Yet to come:
- Context menus or Right-click functionality
- This functionality will require more work. The current solution is seen as an interim solution that can be delivered within a reasonable cost and time frame.
Your opinions and impressions are needed!
The time for funding this project has arrived 
The sticky end of the development has arrived. In order for this functionality to be released it has to be paid for. Please contact me directly via email if you are willing to contribute in this regard. Currently we are considerably under our projected rough budget (more details for interested contributors), but further development can not occur until we attract some working funds.
My experiences with the new Enhanced Scheduling
Posted October 9th, 2008 by vetmpcostaHi everyone,
Sorry I've been quiet for a while. Tony and Tim have not! Don't forget to visit the Community->Enhanced Scheduling Group pages - I've updated the main post inviting for comment on the new functionality and also requesting people interested in contributing to the development financially to contact me via email.
So I've been playing with the new enhanced scheduling on the website and here are my impressions;
The look:
Is good. Clear and clean just like the OpenVPMS app to date.
