Scheduling the Impossible

(PG)

Stream: Service Management
Time: 12:15 - 13:00


Presentation

Your customers can come up with some pretty complex scheduling criteria.  Sometimes they sound easy until you try to code them, sometimes they sound impossible, but can be deceptively easy to do. 

This session will look at a customer need I received recently – their request was – can these be automated in IzWS so I do not have to build 26 separate calendars by hand every year.

We will take a look at those criteria, how I analysed them and what features I used to code them so that only holidays needed to be coded in one place, once each year.
