LOR Scheduler Application

Comments based on 5.2.2 PRO

This is a b it of an annoying bug that I remember from last year but I didn't highlight it then, so I will now.

• If you have an existing schedule such as: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x7kswo5cteu5rk1/2018 12 - 1 Current schedule.png?dl=0
• But then you choose to edit the schedule (right click>edit): https://www.dropbox.com/s/xwzvg6pux5jaort/2018 12 - 2 Edit Option.png?dl=0
• You are presented with the editing dialogue box: https://www.dropbox.com/s/51n9epze98o5bjs/2018 12 - 3 Edit settings current.png?dl=0
• If at this point you modify the setting ONLY for the day you right clicked over then all works well: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eum3y9d6vjufhof/2018 12 - 3 Edit settings set.png?dl=0
• But if you choose to select multiple days via the clickers at the bottom (say, Sat & Sun): https://www.dropbox.com/s/vol940cl6158f6o/2018 12 - 3 Edit settings multiday.png?dl=0

My points

1. the "Add" button in this context is wrong, this is a modification so it should be a "change" or "modify"
2. the error for selecting multiple days, needs handling better. I intentionally wanted to make a multi-day change (hence the clicker at the bottom being selected as such). 
   • When selecting multiple clickers at that point it should be highlighted "MULTIPLE DAYS SELECTED" - I personally would prefer this not be another popup, I would prefer the original dialogue box simply show up a red text warning or something like that (I hate to many clicks and nag boxes add at least one with their "OK" button)

 

On a similar point..... When we create a slot 5pm to 10pm for everyday of the week, that is a single operation but lets say I wanted to delete the slot 5pm to 10pm for some reason.... I have to open every single calendar items and delete it one at a time. Why, this doesn't make sense, nothing sticks till I press save anyway?

As for your last point, it could be better, but when you create the same show for all days of the week, you are creating 7 separate show entries - hence the need to delete them individually.  If they were tied to each other, people would run into a problem of deleting or changing more than they expected.  Can’t make it perfect for every situation.

For the multiple day change, I attempt to remember to delete all the extra days first...

Thanks for the feedback! I've made note of it for our 2019 development work.

Jim yes, maybe... That said - software can check for those things.

I only highlight stuff like this to make things better. My comments will and should be challenged - so thank you.
