12
12www.cdg.ws New display option for the calendar allows for Monthly, Weekly, or Daily. Existing monthly summaries now show counts by abbreviated status (i.e. status:count). New checkbox option allows user to hide completed tasks.
13
13www.cdg.ws Weekly display allows user to hide empty slots (no scheduled tasks). Weekly display shows a full 7-day 24-hour calendar with time slots and scheduled tasks positioned and sized appropriately. Overlapping tasks/slots will be indented to allow some display of the task/slot behind. Hovering over slot/task description will display slot/task details. Clicking on slot detail opens the override screen. Clicking on task detail opens task detail screen. Available slots display with a green background. Unavailable slots display with a red background. Overridden slots will display as gray, with a reason included. Clicking the detail icon opens the calendar in Daily mode for that day.
14
14www.cdg.ws Daily mode is similar to weekly mode, except the slots/tasks do not overlap.
15
15www.cdg.ws The Time Slot Selection screen (when scheduling a slotted task) is now visual, using the same elements as the task calendar. Clicking on the slot description selects the slot for the related task (on the previous screen).
16
16www.cdg.ws The time slot override screen now allows an optional reason that will be displayed on the task calendar and during time slot selection. In new mode only, the user can select the departments/slots via checkboxes within this listing. The Department field above acts as a filter. Once these entries are saved, the overrides need to be dealt with individually, unless the user selected all departments and all time slots.
17
On temporary disconnects, we can now end ALL charges, including OCPs. New payment allocation option to pay past due (deniable and non-deniable) before current. Separate late fee balance selections by market (so MBS can journalize late fees to different journal accounts for each market). TREATMENT / LATE FEE / DISCONNECTS 17www.cdg.ws
