Part 1
Facility Scheduling vs. General Scheduling
We offer two types of scheduling
Facility Scheduling
• Perfect for scheduling chunks of time at facilities
• Ex: Court A booked for use by League B every Saturday from 6-8 PM from May 5 – August 5
General Scheduling
• Perfect for scheduling any sort of specific event
• Ex: Game between Team X and Team Y on Saturday May 5 at 7 PM
5
Use just one or both
6
Facility Scheduling – Is It for You?Are you in charge of booking time slots at facilities (fields, gyms, courts, etc) for groups like teams, camps and leagues? If so, then facility scheduling is for you. Common users are recreation directors and campus facility coordinators.
7
General Scheduling – Is It for You?Unlike Facility Scheduling, General Scheduling can be used by pretty much anyone in the world of sports-and-recreation. With General Scheduling, you get a blank calendar and can add anything you want to it. Common events include games, practices, deadlines, meetings, fundraisers, etc.
