Restaurant Scheduling Software Case Study Part 4
Now that the qualifications were established, it was time for Mark to enter people into the staff directory. Mark has only 8 employees (besides himself), three of whom are considered full time.Entering the Staff MembersBefore entering information about people, it is useful to define exactly what information you want to store. Our restaurant scheduling software gives you four customizable fields, which are accessed from the Preferences / Settings area. After setting up what information should be stored about each person, it was time to enter in all of Mark’s employees. We’ll look in detail at all the steps that went into defining one of them. To enter new people into VictorSchedule, click on ‘Manage Directory’ from the Control Panel. This brings up the Directory Manager form. Click on ‘Add to Directory’. One key thing to keep in mind as you assign qualifications to people is that you should give a person all of the qualifications that you would ever consider using a person for, even as a last resort. When we define Preferences for a person we can set up how we want to use the person. Also, keep in mind that whatever email is entered in the ‘Primary Email’ address block will be used to send schedules, so make sure you enter the right address!
