Master Planner 4 is a graphical version of a wall planner, presented as a grid, with names of employees or other resources down the left and dates across the top. A planner may show a number of weeks, or a whole year, or you can specify exact dates. Add icons to grid squares to indicate the activities of employees on selected dates - holidays, project work, conferences and so on.
Each resource has from 1 to 12 lines for icons on the planner, for activities during different time periods. For each resource, you can specify categories (such as department, gender or salary grade) and start, finish and birthdates. A wide range of icons is available in the registered version, from which you can choose just the ones appropriate to your company; network version users may also create their own custom icons. A text note may be added to any grid square to record additional information.
Docked or floating toolbars give access to editing and search functions, and moving around the planner may be achieved using mouse or keyboard operations. An undo function is available. A status bar, tooltips and full on-line help make Master Planner easy to use.
For larger planners, you can view just part of the planner (a single department, say), while the statistics function shows the number of times an icon has been used for a time period. Icons can also be tracked and their use restricted (for example, staff leave, training or projects). There is a wide range of reports available, which may be memorised, and full backup and restore functions are available. The Network version of Master Planner may be run on a network, if required, and, using your network software, files may be set up with read-only access for staff without administrator privileges.
Master Planner is available for download as a demo version for evaluation purposes. The demo version is restricted to a single non-extendable planner of 30 weeks, which may not be run from a network server. Backup, restore, statistics and icon tracking functions are not available. If you like the program and want to keep using it after the evaluation period, you will need to register and pay a fee. The Standard version is for a single user, while the Network version is available for 4, 10, 20, 50 or unlimited users (other user numbers on request), who can run the program on the server and share planner files.
