The scheduling tool is set up to give you instant access to the information you need while making a block schedule so you don't waste any time.

The main block scheduling window shows each resident's schedule and each rotation's roster of residents. See the screenshot below:

When a resident is put on a rotation in a given block, that rotation's list of residents is immediately updated.

Eliminate the tedious task of collecting each person's requests by taking advantage of the Scheduling Tool's online requests feature.

Once the requests are in the system the program then reminds you of each resident's vacation preferences when relevant and warns of conflicts with rotations that do not allow vacations.

The Vacations column in the editing area gives an "at-a-glance" overview of the vacation status for your residents by showing the number of requests that have been granted and denied.

Also visible at a glance is the way vacations stack up in a rotation for each block, as shown below:

The software helps you create your schedule by flagging the rotations that cause a conflict before you even assign a rotation to a resident.

In the image below the only adequate rotation is "Elective". Reasons why the other rotations cause conflicts can be seen by moving the mouse pointer over the rotation.

Once your Block Schedule is done invite all residents and staff to view it online in a clear and readable page. More information about publishing online is available here.

You may also create a hard copy of your schedule using the export to PDF function.

PDF files (Adobe's Portable Documents Format) can be viewed on any computer and are great for printing, reviewing and emailing.

Once you have created a block scheule you can easily start working on the Call/Shift schedule for a rotation.

The program automatically adds residents to the appropriate blocks in the Call/Shift Schedule based on when they are on the rotation in the Annual Rotations Schedule.

You can sync multiple rotations to the the same Call/Shift Schedule, and the block dates don't have to match.
