Hi,
The application I'm building requires a calendaring & scheduling (C&S) component. Specifically, my users will need to be able to schedule activities, meetings and appointments in a group calendar (essential). Ideally when scheduling appointments and meetings there should be some form of conflict checking and it would also be nice to be able to schedule meeting resources too such as a meeting room or overhead projector (desirable).
My questions are:
1). Can this be achieved "natively" within Alpha Five and, if so, has someone already done this? As I am new to Alpha Five programming I am prepared to purchase the code for such an add-on if someone has already invented this wheel.
2). If a ready made solution does not (yet) exist, can anyone recommend a third party solution? For example it would be ideal if there were some kind of "connector" between Alpha Five and MS Outlook whereby I could create the scheduling events from within my application and then have them appear in the user's MS Outlook calendar.
Many thanks in advance for any recommendations and advice you may have to help me tackle this.
PS: I took a look at the Calendar & Toolbox add-in, but that doesn't appear to have the depth of functionality required for this project.
