- Help Screen for Appointments
-
- Overview
-
- The appointments menu draws its information from entries you make into this ì
- item in the Activity file:
-
- "DATE OF NEXT APPOINTMENT: 01/01/1901"
-
- If you have no follow up appointment date, then leave the default date of ì
- "01/01/1901" alone. That default date is just a way of telling the ì
- computer that you have no future appointments caused by this one activity.
-
- If, however, you do have a future appointment, then enter that date into ì
- the Activity file. Later on, when you want a schedule of appointments, ì
- then come to this Appointments menu.
-
- This menu creates five reports and one graphics image of any 14 day period ì
- that you wish to examine.
-
- [NOTE: any reference in the report options to "today" means today as ì
- defined by the system date.]
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 1: |
- ==============
-
- This option prints out a schedule of all historical appointments. If you ì
- select this, then all appointments you made prior to today are printed out.
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 2: |
- ==============
-
- Option 2 shows those appointments scheduled for today. This is the most ì
- useful report because it shows you what is on the agenda for today, ì
- regardless of when you set up the commitment in the past.
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 3: |
- ==============
-
-
-
- Option 3 prints out all future appointments, excluding today's. This is ì
- handy if you wish to review what you have committed to in the future.
-
-
- ==============
- è | OPTION 4: |
- ==============
-
- Option 4 prints out all future appointments, including today's.
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 5: |
- ==============
-
- Option 5 displays a graphics image of bars and symbols to show you what ì
- appointments you have for any 14 day period. This is handy if you want to ì
- review different periods in the future for "load" and "load leveling" of ì
- your appointments (re-scheduling of your appointments to level out your ì
- work load).
-
- This option is intended as display-only, unless you have a graphics printer ì
- to which you "dump" the image by pressing [SHIFT] [PRINTSCREEN].
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 6: |
- ==============
-
- With this option, you enter the start and stop dates for the schedule of ì
- appointments that you wish to print out. It defaults to 1/1/1901 to ì
- 12/30/2999.
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 7: |
- ==============
-
- Option 7 is similar to option 6 in selecting out any period of appointments ì
- for you to print out. It differs, though, in selecting out only those ì
- appointments that have gone UNPROCESSED. Records are marked 'processed' ì
- only if you use the CALLBACK option on the Activity File screen.
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 8: |
- ==============
-
- 8) List of Priorities, if any [by date]
-
- Each Client record has, in its lower right corner, a field for 'Priority, ì
- if any'. You can enter any value you wish or leave it at zero. Once you ì
- have done that, this option will rank all Client records in ascending ì
- order.
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION 9: |
- ==============
- è
- Option 9 shows those appointments scheduled for tomorrow. This is a useful ì
- report because it shows you what is on the agenda for tomorrow, regardless ì
- of when you set up the commitment in the past. Similar to option 2.
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION A: |
- ==============
-
- Select Appointments for any day, with ALL associated activities:
-
- With this powerful feature, the program first asks you for the date of your ì
- desired appointments list. Once you enter a date, the program prints out ì
- two reports: 1) an appointments list for that day you requested, and 2) an ì
- historical activities report that shows ALL activities that occurred prior ì
- to your requested date for those companies and ONLY those companies that ì
- appear on the appointments list.
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION B: |
- ==============
-
-
- Select start/stop date for Appointments, with Category Consolidation
-
-
- This selection is similar to Option 6, except that you can consolidate the ì
- activity records by categories: either a continuous range or a non-ì
- continuous grouping of them.
-
- Note that this Category Consolidation logic is available in these three ì
- locations in the program:
-
- 'Reports for Clients and Activities'
- [Main Program Menu, Selection 3]
-
- 'Appointments Menu'
- [Main Program Menu, Selection 7]
- -----> where you are now <-------
-
- 'Base Station/Remote Site Consolidation Menu'
- [Main Program Menu, Selection 9]
-
-
-
- ==============
- | OPTION C: |
- ==============
-
- C) Insert memo into reports:
-
- èThis option will insert the memo field into the reports generated by the ì
- report options on this menu. Once selected, you can specify the number of ì
- characters brought into the report from each memo.
-
