Bookshelf v7.5: Schedule View

The Schedule view provides an extended description of the schedule and the scheduling process for a selected activity, plus controls for booking or cancelling future appointments and for inserting an activity in an optimized schedule. Some of the fields in this view appear also in All Activities View. Table 19 describes items in Schedule records.

Table 19. Selected Items in the Schedule View
Item	Description
Account Address Map	This button provides a hyperlink to the MapQuest web site. Siebel does not guarantee the availability or accuracy of any content or service provided by MapQuest.
Allow Breaks	This check box allows the Optimization Engine to disrupt an activity to insert defined breaks, but not breaks that are separate activities (see Breaks).
Book Appt	This button sends a request to the Scheduler to find the possible time slots for scheduling this activity. For more information, see Scheduling and Dispatch.
Cancel Appt	This button sends a request to the Scheduler to remove this activity from the schedule. For more information, see Scheduling and Dispatch.
Contract Schedule	This button sends a request to the Scheduler to insert an activity into the schedule with minimal disruption to the schedule and without significant increase in the cost of the schedule. For more information, see Scheduling and Dispatch.
Duration	The time required to carry out an activity, including breaks and travel time. The value is = Planned End - Planned Start.

Planned End	The proposed date for completing an activity. Also appears as Planned Completion in the user interface.
