Scheduling Calendar - can Alfresco help with this?

[sternfan]

HI all,

I work at a location where we have many clients (residents) that need multiple things scheduled.  For instance, on certain days a given client could be at a dentist, eye doctor, training etc.

It would need to be able to do:

- each client has their own schedule/calendar
- staff can make entries into calendar to schedule events for a client
- searchable - so that we can answer questions like "who is on the schedule for friday"

Can Alfresco help with this?

Thanks,
Rob

Sorry that no one replied to this sooner.

Alfresco Share, a team-centric collaboration application, includes calendar functionality. It's mostly aimed at putting things like team events, meetings, or project milestones on a calendar that everyone can see. It doesn't support free-busy search, for example.

So depending on what you want to do it might work, but I suspect you'll want something more.

I'd suggest downloading Alfresco and taking a look at the calendar. It's pretty much what-you-see-is-what-you-get.

If it doesn't meet your needs you might take a look at a full-fledged calendar application such as some of the ones listed <a href="http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/402382:the-five-best-open-source-calendar-servers-for-linux">here</a>.
