Using the Scheduler
The Scheduler screen provides a window on the Activities you or others in your organization have set up. Access the Scheduler by selecting Customer Management>Scheduler from the main menu, or by selecting the Scheduler button from the Activity Search screen Options menu.
Note: When the Activity>Use Time Zones for Activities application parameter is set to Y, date and time information related to activities will be displayed in the logged-in user's time zone; if no time zone is specified for the logged-in user, the logged-in property time zone is assumed; if the logged-in property does not have a time zone assigned, the database time zone is assumed. See Activity Time Zones for details.
The search criteria allow you to locate Activity schedules based on dates, owner, property, and filters.
Property. This feature is available if the OPP_MHT2 or OPS_MHT2 license is active. Select the down arrow to choose the property for which the Detailed Calendar applies.
Start Date. Search for any past, present or future date. If you are accessing the Scheduler from the main Activities menu, the date shows today's date. If you are accessing the Scheduler from the Activities Search screen, the date that is being passed through is the date that is on the highlighted activity in the Search grid.
Owner. A multi-pick box where you can choose one or more owners to search for their activities. If you are accessing the Scheduler from the main Activities menu, this will default to the person who logged on. If you are accessing the Scheduler from the Activities Search screen, the Owners that have been chosen in this screen will be passed to the Scheduler search criteria. When left empty, only those employees that have owner initial assigned to them will be shown.
