- This e-mail message is in response to a request Conrad Geiger at NeXT relayed to
- me regarding calendar apps. for the NeXT platform. Below is a description of
- our
- group scheduling program, What's Happening?. It was designed for network users
- but is also extremely functional for single users. A single user copy of What's
- Happening? retails in the US for $295. Network pricing varies depending on
- network
- configuration and number of nodes. What's Happening? can be purchased through
- NeXTConnection. Government and education institutions can purchase the program
- directly from Adamation at a 30% discount.
-
-
- Contact NeXTConnection for pricing and availability and myself if you have
- product
- questions.

- Product Description for What's Happening?
-
- What's Happening? is a powerful, full-featured, yet user-friendly scheduler for
- individual users and groups. What's Happening? has the most extensive group
- calendaring features available for NeXTSTEP. You can schedule events for
- multiple
- people, view calendars for a group in several graphical formats and easily
- locate
- mutually available time slots for group meetings.
-
-
- What's Happening? runs on top of a powerful relational database engine. The
- engine
- is transparent to the user but is responsible for the advanced group scheduling
- capabilities of What's Happening? and many of the sophisticated search features.
- Installing What's Happening? on a complex network is as simple as on a single
- computer. You can create events that are private, readable or writable, giving
- you
- control of which events others can view and edit.
-
- What's Happening? was designed to provide an extensive range of calendar views
- in
- both textual and graphical formats. There are textual Day, Week, and Month
- views
- that list events by their titles and times. There are graphical Group Day,
- Group
- Week, and Group Month views that display bar graphs of events and make group
- scheduling easy.
-
- Ease-of-use is central in the design of What's Happening?. Scheduling an event
- is as
- simple as typing into a time slot. To-Dos are displayed separately from events
- and
- carry forward till they are completed. Scheduling a group is as simple as
- dragging a
- bar from one hour to another and entering the title of the event. The intuitive
- interface
- allows a relative beginner as well as the experienced user to learn how to use
- What's
- Happening? quickly.
-
-
- What's Happening? gives you the flexibility to customize the displayed time span
- and
- number of events displayed per time period. Other unique features of What's
- Happening? include annotating events with voice comments and attaching files
- from
- the File Viewer to these records. What's Happening? is equipped with a Tickler
- system that verbally and visually reminds you of events, keeping you abreast of
- important events.
