- What new features are present in version 1.20
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Several major enhancements have been made to SupremeSched version
- 1.20. Some are mere cosmetic changes, while others offer new features.
-
-
- 1) First and foremost, SupremeSched's Automatic Scheduling Feature (ASF)
- now has two new promised abilities:
-
- a) Employees can now be scheduled in time "blocks". An employee
- can now be scheduled for several different jobs for any given
- day. Load in the file BLOCK.LOC and run the ASF to see the effect
- of this new feature.
-
- Previously the ASF would mark an employee as "done" for the
- entire day once the employee had been scheduled for any one job.
-
- b) Part time scheduling is now possible as well! Should the ASF
- be unable to schedule an employee for the entire time period for a
- given job, it will now attempt to break the job up amongst several
- different employees, so that the job will be completely filled.
- Load in the file PT.LOC and run the ASF to see the effect of this
- new feature.
-
- There are a few limitations with this feature, since the program
- has to make a few assumptions in order for this to work correctly.
- Feel free to contact us for further information on this matter.
-
- 2) The verification feature has been made more robust in order to
- accommodate the new block scheduling and part time scheduling abilities of
- the ASF. This causes the program to be even more critical of your
- schedule.
-
- In addition, one may now press <Alt-X> in order to terminate the
- schedule verification error reporting at any given time.
-
- 3) You may now schedule for more than a week at a time. In reality this
- was always possible, but the program now adds explicit support for this.
- By pressing <Alt-N> or <Alt-P> in the Schedule View Screen, either the
- next week will be loaded in, or the previous week, respectively. All these
- "weeks" are really just different location files, with an added
- designation.
-
- In addition, you may now also clear any one job in the Schedule View
- Screen, by pressing <Alt-C>. This reset any all days to "Off", erase
- the Job number and Employee Code.
-
- 4) In the Employee View Screen, you may now press <Alt-S> and <Alt-P> to
- Sort or Print the employee database, respectively. In addition, <Alt-X>
- will now automatically exit the program.
-
-
- 5) Four new options have been added as well:
-
- a) You may now "Import" any location file. This will overwrite the
- current location.
-
- b) You may now "Delete" any location file on the disk.
-
- c) There is now a DOS Shell option, that will compress the memory
- space the program takes, to less that .8K under most circumstances.
- This option is accessible at any point within the program by
- pressing <F9>.
-
- d) A new program information option, that reports on the size of
- your databases, etc.
-
- 6) Several cosmetic screen changes have been made. These include:
-
- a) You now have the ability to change the screen display height
- on EGA/VGA adapters. These heights include 21,25,28,43,50 line
- display modes.
-
- b) All windows are "moveable". That is, you may change the position
- of these windows at any point you wish.
-
-
- 7) The program is now network aware, and will run on several popular
- networks. Review the file, NETWORK.DOC for further information
-
-
- This is by no means a complete list of the new features in SupremeSched.
