Help for iCalScheduler version 0.61

The iCalScheduler is software for scheduling rooms. It has been created within an academic environment (the University of Houston College of Technology) for scheduling classes. However, it should be able to be used with little or no modifications for other purposes as regards room scheduling as well.

The genesis of the project was the combination of the MRBS project for the room scheduling capabilities with the phpiCalendar project for the improved aesthetics of the calendar views. Both of these projects are registered on SourceForge.net, as is iCalScheduler.

iCalScheduler, or iCS for short, can contain schedules for classes, meetings and events that occur in different rooms. These rooms are located in "locations", where "locations" are most often buildings. The rooms and locations are configurable by anyone who has administrator privileges.

The 0.61 version of iCalScheduler has the following useful capabilities.

• A fairly sophisticated authentication system for scheduling and approving events according to ownership of rooms. This is discussed in more detail on the Security and Logins page.
• A Wizard for finding the open times for scheduling an event. This is discussed in more detail on the Using the Wizard page.
• A Search function for finding strings in one of the event fields. This is discussed in more detail on the Performing a Search page.
• You can create rudimentarty reports of the events. This is discussed in more detail on the Creating Reports page.

If you would like to contribute code or make suggestions for improvement, please go to the iCalScheduler SourceForge site for further information. This caveat should be made that even though this is in use at our college, for general purposes you should still consider this alpha code (alpha 2, to be sure) and proceed accordingly.

Also, note that the default installation creates 3 users - admin, office and user. They have passwords that are the same as the user name by default ("admin", "office" and "user").
