ABSTRACT:
A scheduling system and method. Schedules, created by an administrator, are made available to users through a global computer network, such as the Internet. Authorized users gain access to an administrator's web site and, upon entry of an appropriate access code, obtain access to the schedule. The user may select a time slot which has not been selected or which has not been frozen. The system provides an automatic e-mail reminder of the appointment to the student to the e-mail address entered by the user, who may, for example, be a student making an appointment to sit for a portrait. The administrator can alter certain aspects of the schedule such as moving up the starting date, moving back the closing date, selecting the number of appointments per day and/or the length and starting and ending time of appointments. Each user may change an appointment prior to the scheduled date. The administrator may prevent users from selecting more that one appointment for the same purpose. Users may visit the web site at any given time to confirm, print out, delete, change or update an appointment previously made by that user. The user who is a member of a designated group is provided with messages when an appointment entry is confirmed and may also be provided with information relating to the appointment, such as cost and attire, as well as emergency messages, dealing, for example, with a weather delay.
