| Question: Where
do you sell Schedule One™ Pro 2006 |
 |
| Schedule One™ Pro has
been sold and distributed to hundreds of builders throughout
the United States and Canada. |
|
| Question: How
many users can access the scheduling software? |
|
| Schedule One™ Pro 2006
is a single user desktop version. The license is for a single
computer (seat license). Although several employees may use
the software from the system where the software was installed,
they may
only do so one at a time. We highly recommend that only one
person be primary responsible for the entire schedule so
that scheduling conflicts are reduced and control, checks
and balances are maintained. The software can be installed on several clients and a server, but additional licensing must be purchased. |
|
| Question: Can
the scheduling software be installed on my server? |
|
| Yes. You have the option upon
installation to change the directory where the scheduling
software is installed. You will need a drive mapped to the
server and the server must still meet the system
requirements of the software. In a multi-user environment, the database and main program files remain on the server, however, each client needs to be installed. Each user needs to purchase a license in order to have the software activated on their own computer. |
|
| Question: How
are the warnings setup in the warnings
tab? |
|
| Schedule One has a default
setting of 15 days for Warning you that you are approaching
the closing date you entered on a specific job (e.g. You
have a scheduled closing date of 8/30/07 for job 345 Main
St. After the tasks have all been loaded into the system
via an older job saved as the new or manually entering tasks,
Schedule One will forecast the closing date. If your schedule
falls in the warning zone of 8/15/07 or later, it will change
to Yellow in color. Once you have gone beyond the 8/30/07
it turns red. The real advantage here is, Schedule One allows
you to see very early on that your schedule is on or not
allowing more time to make up days on the schedule. |
|
| Question: How
is the work week assigned? We do not work the weekends. |
|
| You may also select the work
week for your company (e.g. 5 days, 6 days or 7 days). If
you select only 5, scheduled Saturdays and Sundays will disappear
off of the schedule. Depending on how you run your schedule
you have a couple options. If you sometimes have subs working
on Saturday, you should use the 5 day view and simply stretch
the task back a day or use the 6 day view if more frequent. |
|
| Question: What
type of support do you offer? |
|
| If ever you have trouble with
our software, you can email help@scheduleone.com or call
us Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 EST. We are creating
an online support system that will be available 24/7. We
will have FAQ’s,
Tips, Instructions, and offer live web help (simialr to
the live demo). Support is always included in the price of
the software and you will never be billed for the support
you receive. |
|
| Question: Do
you have service releases and update packs? |
|
| As we release service packs
(additional features) during the year, we will automatically
send them to you free of charge or offer downloads direct
from the support section
of the website. |
|
| Question: How
easy is the software to use? |
|
| We include instructions for
setting up Schedule One Pro with each disc however, Schedule
One Pro is very easy to set up and run. Simply set up your
Company Info and enter a new job. After entering a new job
you can select from the template that is installed or create
your own by entering data into each field. As you add new
tasks they appear in the upper left window on the master
schedule (also known as the tree view) and on the Gantt Chart.
Once you have entered your first job it can be used again
and again by creating a new job, and then when you save it,
you select that new job # and Schedule One will load the
same tasks for another new job. From there if you would like
to edit, add or delete from that task list you can do it
from the lower detail window in the task tab. |
