A good management of the team surely brings a business closer to success. This can be done in various ways, including computer applications which not only allow you to do so easily but in a more efficient manner. Snap Schedule is just one of the many, and promises to be a trustworthy office assistant.

When running the application you are greeted with a “Getting Started” window which provides several examples and two methods of creating your own database. A step by step option gives you the possibility to take advantage of a wizard that asks you to fill in several business related details.

You can also choose one of the several pre-designed plan templates, each with its own specifications. Moreover, if you consider the amount of detail you need to keep track of is overburdening, you can either turn to the help manual to light your way, or take a look at one of the many examples of various business types.

For a better understanding of every detail you keep track of, multiple view types are put at your disposal. You can set the main workspace to display planned activities and employees to a daily view, shift, calendar or task, each with several subcategories. Needless to say that various filtering options are available to make work easier.

The application gives you the possibility to create shifts, employees, tasks and more. Each category displays its content in a list for quick selection and creation. Adding a new entry brings up a new window with several requirements with complexity depending on the selected category.

Additionally, you can issue reports for nearly anything created. These are sorted into two main categories, shift assignment and employee, each with multiple types and subtypes allowing you to get detailed reports for anything of interest.

These can either be printed out on a sheet of paper, or saved to a file format ranging from JPG to PDF and other office tools extensions.

To sum it up, Snap Schedule is a powerful business partner that keeps you occupied a fair amount of time until every detail is added. However, once formalities are over with you realize that the effort was worth it. Its user friendly interface and complexity make it a good application overall.
