Using SCOOTER

All the features of SCOOTER start and end with the Main Window. So let's take a look at this window and the various ways to put it to work for you.

SCOOTER Free Version Main Window

SCOOTER Free Version Main Window

The free version of SCOOTER has a single main window divided into three sections:

1.Menu & Tool Bar: This is where you choose to add, edit, copy, and delete schedules, among other tasks.

2.Schedule List: All of the schedules created in SCOOTER are displayed here.

3.Status Bar:  Displays information on the currently displayed schedules, as well as certain program information.

SCOOTER can maintain the number of schedules limited only by your computer's available hard drive space. Each schedule line on the main window displays an overview of the elements making up that schedule.

Schedule listings are initially arranged in alphabetical order by client. See Shortcuts & Hot Keys for different ways of ordering, locating, and accessing existing schedules.

Column widths can be adjusted by positioning the mouse pointer over the divider between column headers. When the cursor changes to a double pointed arrow, left click, hold, and drag the column to the desired width. The width you set persists from session to session.

SCOOTER Pro

SCOOTER Pro™ offers an enhanced main window with the option of color coding schedules by status and a filter to display schedules only within selected date ranges and/or status conditions. There is also an option to switch to a split-screen, client-centric view.
