'Web' Version - Secondary Master Schedule Assistant App

Pete Self - PeteSelf@NesterenkoSoftware.com

Many current users have taken advantage of the 'Web-based' version of the Master Schedule Assistant app (all users are welcome to use it).
The 'Web-based' version of the app is superior to the MS Access® version because of added functionality provided by the web - quick links, coloured reports and more. The 'flow' of the app is the same as the MS Access version, so nothing to re-learn.

In these challenging COVID-19 times, the 'Web-based' version allows all members of the 'Timetabling Group' to be logged-in from their respective locations. One member would perform the usual timetabling functions (and extract/import - same as in the MS Access® version of the app). All users could view and analyze various reports and discuss - while also connected via Zoom®, Webex®, Google Meet® etc.
Despite the COVID-19 challenges, this has worked seamlessly for many timetabling groups that have taken advantage of this option.

The 'Web' version of the Master Schedule Assistant Application is fully-functional. Feedback is welcome.
Although this Web version is fully-functional, users should still continue using the MS Access version.
The Web version has some advantages to the 'Regular' MS Access version of the app - web functionality - quick links; coloured reports; access to the app from any device/location.

2. Development and Functionality - Master Schedule Assistant 'Web' Application:

The functionality of the Master Schedule Assistant 'Web' Application is very similar to the 'Regular' MS Access version of the TimeTable (Master Schedule) Assistant Application.

Both applications require the user to generate a MasterSchedule.csv file from the Master Schedule by Course Section Report.

The 'Regular' version of the app then asks the user to 'Import' the MasterSchedule.csv file into the app.

The Master Schedule Assistant 'Web' Application asks the user to 'Upload and Import' the MasterSchedule.csv file.

After Uploading/Importing the MasterSchedule.csv file, the functionality is virtually the same for both versions of the application.

To launch the 'Regular' version of the app, the user typically browses to the appopriate computer folder and double-clicks on Timetable_v20001_SDHS.mde (or similar). This would launch MS Access and open the application.

To use the Master Schedule Assistant 'Web' Application, the user would visit www.NesterenkoSoftware.com/TimetableAssistantWeb and then Sign In (UserID and Password required). Guest accounts are provided.
