More Information
Summary:A computer based scheduling and rescheduling method, apparatus and system for an electronic calendar. The electronic calendar illustrates a time progression of scheduled tasks in a horizontally or vertically oriented view of time. The electronic calendar and its graphical user interface (GUI) provide a viewing pattern for the user. Direction in the viewing pattern is synonymous with increasing/ decreasing dates-times in the time progression of scheduled tasks. A schedulingrescheduling engine schedules into the calendar user requested tasks and automatically reschedules impacted previously scheduled tasks. The schedulingrescheduling engine also schedules user selected resources (e.g., people, robots, tools, etc.) per scheduled task.
