ABC Roster

Every ambitious project needs to be carefully planed to cover as many variables and scenarios as possible. Computers greatly enhance the way this is done, putting various management and communication methods at your disposal. If you've got a powerful team, applications like ABC Roster let you manage time and employees so every task or event is successfully pursued and completed.

You start off with a blank canvas that eventually pushes you to start a new project. A neat advantage is that you're offered a guide by a built-in wizard that takes you through a series of comprehensive steps fitted with clever descriptions so you don't get stuck along the way.

The creation process can be tricky and a little time-consuming with no data, since you have to add each and every details. However, every step and requirement is easy to configure, with the possibility to import contacts from a CSV file to make work a little easier.

It's a good idea to start off by creating the employee list so you have at least basic resources. A great level of details can be added, from general info like name, picture and contact details, to skills, covering shifts, as well as payment method and amount.

Once the list of individuals in your team is ready, you can go ahead and plan tasks. Since time is an important resource, shifts and events are heavily-related to it. Most of your workspace is a visual representation of your project spread throughout active days.

Going through with the initial wizard lets you manage a little bit of every tool you work with, but post-processing is also possible. Drop-down menus and requirement fields let you set up shifts, make identification easier with colors and values for importance, as well as locations, limitations and constraints.

You can work on multiple projects at a time and use existing resources for all of them. These are kept active in different tabs. A few export options let you directly send emails to employees by specifying credentials and service used, or simply export projects as XLS spreadsheets.

All things considered, we can safely state that ABC Roster is a handy application that lets you manage time and employees to bring your projects closer to completion and your business towards success. The helpful wizard makes sure you don't get stuck along the way, understand how to manage time and employees and set up tasks as you're learning. Overall, it's practical for both personal and ambitious projects.
