NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

[foghorn]

There is no way to specifically decline an assignment after it is made. There is a method that comes fairly close, though. On the Publisher app, they could add an "Away Period" for when they will be gone or ill. If they don't yet have an assignment, the program won't allow them to be given one. If they ALREADY have an assignment (ie, the away period is very short notice) the program will flag the brother who imports the new Away period, telling him there is a conflict. This would trigger the assigning brothers to assign the part to someone else.

 

   This works esp well for assignments such as sound, video, microphones, stage, attendant, etc. - assignments that don't require much preparation.

In the NWS app any publisher can mark Away Periods so they cannot be assigned during those dates.

That's like Hourglass. But with Hourglass you can also decline an assignment which then notifies the relevant brother. To be honest it's a bit of a pain when people do that though lol

Go under "ME" and check wether the box "Password Protect NW Scheduler" is checked or not.

If we input a brother's name as William, but he initially logs in as Bill, will it cause a login problem?

 

Anyway, they only need to log in the first time. Afterwards they won't need to enter their name or anything.
