Scheduler
The scheduler portlet allows the user to easily schedule, display and edit appointments or tasks. It can be in different time views; day, week, month, timeline or agenda and can be grouped horizontally and vertically.
The scheduler is based on three tables; Resource, Task and Assignment, where the Resource is the who or where the Task is the what and the Assignment is the connection of the Resource and Task. A resource can be a person who is to perform a specific task, or the resource can be a room in which a meeting (the task) is to take place.
The time standard expected by the scheduler depends on the setting in Time offset.
