We are looking for a multi-user scheduling system for our Admissions Office. The app would act like the typical doctor's office appointment book where a receptionist (actually 1 of 4 receptionists) could view the schedule for each interviewer and schedule candidate interviews. Some features that we're looking for: - everyone can see all the interviewer schedules, but only a select group can modify any of the schedules - allows interviewer to block out time during which they are engaged in other activities and not available for interviews. These time blocks would be scheduled as repeating events, daily for a selected time period. - reporting would let a manager see how the interviewers are scheduled and would allow tracking a candidate's visit - system would allow the receptionist to enter notes about a candidate that would be displayed for a selected appointment We've looked at Meeting Maker and Front Desk. Front Desk comes closest, but doesn't have the flexibility we want for the interviewer to modify their calendar. Meeting Maker won't show all interviewer schedules in an appointment book format. I'm interested in any experiences with commercial schedulers used in medical or legal offices, or College Admissions Offices. I'm also interested in any custom packages that might be available for sale. Please email your replies, I'll post a summary if there is sufficient interest.
