1.5.3. Peoplecube Resource Scheduler
Peoplecube Resource Scheduler is scheduling software that is clearly designed
for the business side of resources. It is advertised as being viable for various
purposes, but is not adequate enough to support school resource management
because this program does not have automatic scheduling. This is a core
feature that our software must have. The user interface limited the possibilities
of this software as well. However, the strength of this application in comparison to
the related systems is its integration with floor plans and compatibility with many
other programs and formats. Another one of the more complete features of this program
is the report generation section. People Resource Scheduler could be much
better if it had more versatility for resources, improved its GUI, and
included automatic generation of possible schedules.
Good Features:
-
Reports were fairly customizable. Allowed mixing and matching of
different types of information to generate output.
-
Reports were also exportable to PDFs and spreadsheets.
-
Compatibility with data and applications.
-
User administration allowed different levels of users.
-
Detects and prevents conflicts well.
Bad Features:
-
Weak graphical representation of planned resource reservations.
-
Inputting resource data took too long.
-
Only had automatic saving, which limits file management.
-
Scheduling was limited to weekly, bi-weekly, and daily.
-
Limited to web based.
Missing Features:
-
Automated scheduling.
-
A quick undo command.
-
Weight system to evaluate fairness of schedules.
-
In addition to the weak UI, there was no drag and drop features for times lots.
-
No preferences options (likely because it was intended for businesses).
