THE SCHEDULER
an
Employee schedule program
by
Ron Thompson
Copyright 1990
Computer Room Software
Scheduler is a program designed to allow entry of employee's
work schedules, with easy modification and printing of the
schedules. The program will make a 1 week schedule, for up
to 60 employees. The program will also display graphs of the
schedule for each day.
========================= TYPES OF FILES ========================
Scheduler consists of four files that must be on the same
disk or in the same directory; SCHEDULE.EXE, WEEK.FRM,
GRAPH1.SCR, and HELP.SCR. Schedule.doc, Changes.txt, and
a sample schedule file, should also be on the disk (or in
the archive) when you receive it.
Two other types of files will appear on the disk when using
Scheduler; filename.SCH and filename.BAK. The .SCH is the
latest version of a schedule. When you "Build a new schedule"
the program will produce a .SCH file. When you "Load an old
schedule" the program will save the .SCH file as a .BAK file,
and save the new changes as a .SCH file. If you make a mistake
when modifying a file that has a matching .BAK file it is easy
to recover from the mistake by exiting the program and erasing
the messed up .SCH file and using the DOS command
"RENAME filename.BAK filename.SCH" and pressing the Enter key.
The filename in the line would be the name of your file, and
you would not type in the quote marks.
This small manual will take you through the steps of making a
new schedule, altering it and printing the finished schedule.
========================= STARTING SCHEDULE ========================
At the DOS prompt, type SCHEDULE and press enter.
A>SCHEDULE
PAGE 2
========================= PATH INFORMATION ========================
You will be asked for the path to the schedule files. That
simply means to type in the drive and directory names that
have the data files. If you have a dual drive disk, you may
want to keep the Schedule program files on a disk in drive A,
and the schedules on a disk in drive B. If so, you would
enter B:\ , which tells the program to look in the main directory
of drive B. If you have a hard disk drive named C, and have
made a subdirectory for the schedule program and schedules and
called it SCHEDULE, you would enter C:\SCHEDULE\ .
╓──Path Information ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖
║Which drive and subdirectory are your schedules in? ENTER = This drive ║
║Enter as A:\ or C:\SUBDIRECTORY\ > < ║

╓──Lunch hours ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖
║ ║
║How many minutes a day are unpaid break time > < ║
╙────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
Press ENTER (for 0) if the employees get paid for their lunch break,
otherwise enter 15, 30, 45, or 60 for the number of minutes of unpaid
break time per day. This amount of time will be subtracted from the
number of hours worked for the day.
Note: The sample schedule was built with 0 minutes for lunch.
========================= STARTING DAY OF WEEK =======================
Highlight the day of the week that your schedule starts with, and press
ENTER.

Midnight Noon
The graph begins with midnight and goes to 11 pm.
It has room for up to 20 employees per hour, if there are more than
20 employees working during an hour the graph will only show that
there are 20. The numbers on the right side of the screen
show how many people are working, the numbers at the top and bottom
are the hours of the day. Notice that there is only 1 employee
working during the hours of 3 am to 9 am, and 4 at 10 am.
If you press any key, you will return to the day selection menu.
To return to the main menu from there, select Quit.
