- THE SCHEDULER
-
- an
- Employee schedule program

-
-
- Scheduler is a program designed to allow entry of employee's
- work schedules, with easy modification and printing of the
- schedules. The program will make a 1 week schedule, for up
- to 60 employees. The program will also display graphs of the
- schedule for each day.
-
- ========================= TYPES OF FILES ========================
- Scheduler consists of four files that must be on the same
- disk or in the same directory; SCHEDULE.EXE, WEEK.FRM,
- GRAPH1.SCR, and HELP.SCR. Schedule.doc, Changes.txt, and
- a sample schedule file, should also be on the disk (or in
- the archive) when you receive it.
-
- Two other types of files will appear on the disk when using
- Scheduler; filename.SCH and filename.BAK. The .SCH is the
- latest version of a schedule. When you "Build a new schedule"
- the program will produce a .SCH file. When you "Load an old
- schedule" the program will save the .SCH file as a .BAK file,
- and save the new changes as a .SCH file. If you make a mistake
- when modifying a file that has a matching .BAK file it is easy
- to recover from the mistake by exiting the program and erasing
- the messed up .SCH file and using the DOS command
- "RENAME filename.BAK filename.SCH" and pressing the Enter key.
- The filename in the line would be the name of your file, and
- you would not type in the quote marks.
-
-
-
- This small manual will take you through the steps of making a
- new schedule, altering it and printing the finished schedule.
-
- ========================= STARTING SCHEDULE ========================
- At the DOS prompt, type SCHEDULE and press enter.
- A>SCHEDULE
-
- PAGE 2
- ========================= PATH INFORMATION ========================
- You will be asked for the path to the schedule files. That
- simply means to type in the drive and directory names that
- have the data files. If you have a dual drive disk, you may
- want to keep the Schedule program files on a disk in drive A,
- and the schedules on a disk in drive B. If so, you would
- enter B:\ , which tells the program to look in the main directory
- of drive B. If you have a hard disk drive named C, and have
- made a subdirectory for the schedule program and schedules and
- called it SCHEDULE, you would enter C:\SCHEDULE\ .
-
- ╓──Path Information ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖
- ║Which drive and subdirectory are your schedules in? ENTER = This drive ║
- ║Enter as A:\ or C:\SUBDIRECTORY\ > < ║

- ========================= UNPAID LUNCHBREAKS =======================
- ╓──Lunch hours ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖
- ║ ║
- ║How many minutes a day are unpaid break time > < ║
- ╙────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
- Press ENTER (for 0) if the employees get paid for their lunch break,
- otherwise enter 15, 30, 45, or 60 for the number of minutes of unpaid
- break time per day. This amount of time will be subtracted from the
- number of hours worked for the day.
- Note: The sample schedule was built with 0 minutes for lunch.
-
- ========================= STARTING DAY OF WEEK =======================
- Highlight the day of the week that your schedule starts with, and press
- ENTER.

- Midnight Noon
-
- The graph begins with midnight and goes to 11 pm.
- It has room for up to 20 employees per hour, if there are more than
- 20 employees working during an hour the graph will only show that
- there are 20. The numbers on the right side of the screen
- show how many people are working, the numbers at the top and bottom
- are the hours of the day. Notice that there is only 1 employee
- working during the hours of 3 am to 9 am, and 4 at 10 am.
-
- If you press any key, you will return to the day selection menu.
- To return to the main menu from there, select Quit.
