Each morning as you start your day, do you promise yourself that
today will be the day you get through your to-do list before leaving
at the end of the day? Let TOPS v3.2.1™ help you attain
that goal. So many of the features in TOPS v3.2.1™ are dedicated
to helping you and your staff manage your time, daily communications,
and tasks.
Calendar/Scheduler, due to be released later this month (September
2006), provides you with a fully functioning calendar and task
manager tool similar to Microsoft's Outlook, but with an added
bonus: TOPS Calendar/Scheduler is fully integrated with TOPS v3.2.1™.
So not only can you keep track of events and appointments such
as CC&R inspections or Work Order due dates; but you can also
schedule tasks such as Job Streaming jobs, running program updates,
processing cash receipts or printing AP checks and the reminder
will give you the option to open the function right from the calendar.
Calendar entry reminders typically fall into two categories, events and tasks. In the TOPS Calendar/Scheduler the event types are consistent with most calendar programs, such as General, Phone Call, and Meeting. The predefined calendar entry type General, encompasses all the special dates or occasions you want to keep track of, both business and personal.
TOPS Calendar provides the stand calendar views, by Day, Seven Day Week, or Month, and a To Do list. The daily view entries are measured in 30 minute increments. TOPS functions, appointments and events can be color coded for at-a-glance identification in the each view.
You can create Calendar entries and apply view restrictions.
None, allows (public) everyone to view the entry. Community, allows
only those user to view an entry that have access to the specific
community in which the calendar entry was made. And the Personal
setting restricts everyone but the user who created it from viewing
that entry. TOPS Calendar/Scheduler allows you to have multiple
community calendars open at the same time, so you can easily identify
scheduling conflicts.
Another great feature of Calendar/Scheduler
is that you can export your calendar data in the .ics format (Internet
Calendar Standard) which means you can download your calendar
information to any tool that can import the .ics format such as
PDA, cell phone, or another calendar program.
You can manage your scheduled TOPS business processes from the Task List. The Task List is hidden, and can be run independently of TOPS. To see the Task List simply click the TOPS icon located on your Windows task bar.
The new Calendar/Scheduler feature will be available at no additional charge to customers who have upgraded to TOPS v3.2.1™ and have a current Maintenenace Support Agreement (MSA). We add enhancements to our Internet updater every week, so doing
regular updates of your TOPS programs is the best way to make
sure you have the latest and greatest programs from TOPS Software.
