Title: Teams and People

Dirk,   What about a calender control which lets you mark which dates a team/person is on call, most companies with a support team will know well in advance which team is on which day/week.   We run 24/7 so it's not a problem of time to us just dates!   Regards   Peter Martin IT Operations Manager Initial Electronic Security t. 01282 473561 f. 01254 267549 e.

The doco gives an example where the "on-call" process is split between several people over the space of the week but I can't find a way to set up a week on week off arrangement other than de-activating people. We have a three week rotation of staff and as a feature or if someone has a nifty workaround it would be handy. Regards, Dave C
