INTRODUCTION:
AppointmentMaster‚Ñ¢ v 1.1.1 consists of two distinct background fields and two cards initially.
CARD #1 "ApptSchedule" of Background #1 "Schedule" contains:
• 17 Background fields
• 6 Background buttons
• 5 Card fields --(6 if you count card field id 23. See above) which can be deleted.
• 0 Card buttons
This is an automatic card, meaning there is no user input into it. The stack is programmed to gather information stored on other individual input cards—of which card two is an example.
CARD #2 "FirstCardOfApptCards" of Bkgnd #2 "AppointmentCard" contains:
• 15 Background fields --(16 if you count bkgnd field id 68. See above)
• 10 Background buttons
• 0 Card Fields
• 0 Card buttons
SPECIFICATIONS:
A. The stack size is normally 38 K to begin with. However it contains
a hidden card field for Bkgnd #1 (card field id 23) which contains
the scripts for the Stack, background and card. There is a hidden BKGND FIELD for Background #2, that contains the Scripts for the Background
for Card #2, thereby increasing the stack size to 74K. These two fields
can be printed out if you desire to do so and then removed from your
working copy in order to conserve disk space. Thereby reducing the size
back to its' initial 38 K.
B. AppointmentMaster‚Ñ¢ v 1.1.1 is capable of handling 48 appointments per day for each individual, between the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm.
The time span it can cover and the number of individual people it can handle is limited only by the available disk space of the user. It is especially good in a small business enivronment where one secretary or receptionist must manage the appointment schedules of several people.
REQUIREMENTS:
A. To use this stack you must have HyperCard™—software by Apple Computer, Inc.
B. Either a Mac Plus, Mac SE, or Mac II computer. A hard disk is recommended. The program was written using a Mac Plus with only the internal 800 K drive and literally hundreds (perhaps thousands) of disk swaps. NOT RECOMMENDED.
HOW TO USE THIS STACK:
A. If you have not already done so—make a copy by starting up with another disk which contains your current system and opens to the finder. Then drag the "Time management Folder" (which contains AppointmentMaster™) onto your hard disk. When you have accomplished this then click on the AppointmentMaster Icon to open the stack. You will be presented a dialog box which asks "WHAT IS YOUR NAME, PLEASE?" It will have "Your Name Here" already selected . Click on the OK button this first time. You will then see the copyright screen. Click on the copyright screen and you will then be presented with the first card of the stack. NEXT— Click on the Appointment Book (on the left side of your screen), When the dialog box appears type: 6-11-88 and click "OK". When the schedule for June 11, 1988 appears— Line one of the schedule should read: "Your—Introduction to AppointmentMas". Click on this line and 5 new card fields will appear, then click on the field that reads:
"Your—Introduction to AppointmentMaster™". This will take you to the next background and Card two. The first field "With Who" contains the word "YOUR", the second field contains the date and the third field contains 0900. The fourth field contains "INTRODUCTION TO APPOINTMENTMASTER™". You will notice that Card #1 does not contain the trademark sign "™" that you see in field four (Appointment Details), the reason for this is—when card #1 makes the schedule it puts the persons name who the appointment is with and the appointment details into the correct time line of the schedule. It then counts the number of total characters and enters only 34 characters into each line. This prevents over-writing another appointment.
Now click on the new appointment card button and when you are asked your name. Enter your name and fill in the remaining fields. It is not necessary that all fields be completed. HOWEVER, it is necessary that fields: "With Who", "Date", "Time" and "My Name Is:" be completed. After you have filled in the card, click on the "Go to Schedule" button at the top right of the screen. This will take you to the schedule card and your new appointment will fill in automatically.
That's basically all there is to it.
NOTE: When entering the time you may do so in any one of the following three formats:
a. 9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8 for hourly times.
b. 910,1014, 1125, 1230, 145, 215, 310, etc for other times.
c. 0900, 1020, 1145, 1250, 1315, 1430, 1545, etc for chrono or military time.
Regardless of the format you use when the time field closes it will be converted to format (c) above.
CAUTION: DO NOT ENTER COLONS ":" OR SEMICOLONS ";" OR COMMAS "," OR ANY OTHER SEPERATORS OR A.M. OR P.M. when entering the time.
ANOTHER NOTE: you will notice a button on card two called "Closer Look", it is represented by the magifiying glass. When you click on this button the screen will change by bringing up three previously hidden fields and a hidden button. These fields will tell you how many appointments you have for that day and what the appointment times are, with the current cards appointment time selected with a rectangle. You can click on any appointment time in the scrollable field and go to that appointment card.
•••[CAUTION: DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER... MOVE THIS FIELD (the one containing the appointment times) AROUND ON THE SCREEN, AS IT WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY—ITS LOCATION IS USED IN THE PROGRAMMING WHICH HELPS IN FINDING THE RIGHT CARD WHEN THE TIME IS CLICKED ON].
You now have what I like to think of as an infinity time planner and schedule. The rest is up to you. GOOD INPUT = GOOD OUTPUT.
You may give a copy of this program to anyone for their own personal use as long as the copyright notice has not been removed from the copy you give away and the receipent is told AppointmentMaster‚Ñ¢ is shareware.
