One difference between the Outlook Calendar and the Schedule View is that any changes made in the Schedule View are not made until you click on the Update button. This allows you to rearrange you work, dragging tasks to different times and days and then when you want to save these changes click on the update button. If you click on Cancel no changes are saved.
How Ezidoesit Scheduling Works
Here is how it works and some of the Ezidoesit Task options available to you. You do not have to select all of these options to schedule a task; they are just the options that are available.
= You do not have to schedule all Ezidoesit tasks.
= How tasks are scheduled is controlled by the rules in Ezidoesit Settings (Settings, New Tasks).
= Tasks always get scheduled around meetings and appointments in your Outlook Calendar.
= You can set in the Ezidoesit Settings option the days you work, the start and end times and you can
block out time
for lunch, or other times such as blackout times (no tasks will be scheduled during this time).
= Ezidoesit tasks are scheduled according to the task priority - critical, high, medium, low - critical always
pushes in
ahead of other priorities and then reschedules other tasks below it.
= Tasks can be set as Fixed Time which means they will not be moved during the reschedule process.
= Tasks can be set as Private which means in Ezidoesit Workgroup the detail of the task in hidden and
secure.
= Do It Now - this option starts this task now and everything is rescheduled below it. You have the option
of pushing in before fixed tasks and skipping breaks, blackout times etc.
= Tasks can be scheduled for a set number of hours per day i.e. a 40 hour task could be scheduled for 4
hours each day.
= You can manually set the task start day and time using the Start After calendar and time control.
= Tasks can be tagged with the name of a Project which allows reporting on Project Categories.
= You can select an Outlook Email Category (and colour) to assign to a task.
= You can move the original email to a specific folder rather than the default.
= You can save the task with any attachments that were on the original email or remove them.
= You can change any detail in the task without changing the original email that created the task. It is a
copy of the email.
