Security & Permissions The login page checks the user’s credentials against the database on the server, and grants access based on that user’s permissions or role(s) (Provider or Scheduler). This also prevents direct unauthorized access via a specific page’s URL. Unauthorized User Invalid Credentials P. Uname: TestProvider P. Pass: S. Uname: Test Scheduler S.Pass:

Calendar & Database Connections We used Datebox, an open source mobile calendar, to display the schedule information. The calendar connects with the SQL database to retrieve a Provider’s shift information. For Schedulers, selecting a date will show all shifts for that day, including available shifts that can be filled.

Provider Preferences Providers can edit preferences to set  Preferred working shifts  Preferred work days (week or weekend)  Preferred holidays Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 P. Uname: TestProvider P. Pass: S. Uname: Test Scheduler S.Pass:

Employee Roster Schedulers have access to a roster of all employees’ contact information. The app connects to the database to retrieve the information, which is parsed into a table and displayed in the app page. Name Address Phone Number P. Uname: TestProvider P. Pass: S. Uname: Test Scheduler S.Pass:

Filling Shifts Schedulers can fill open shifts by selecting from a list of doctors available to work that shift. This updates the database and the schedules will show the selected doctor covering that shift. P. Uname: TestProvider P. Pass: S. Uname: Test Scheduler S.Pass:
