Schedule App
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``schedule`` app allows staff members to create the schedule for the
|
|
|
|
|
conference's presentations, breaks, lunches, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ```schedule``` app has a number of models that facilitate building the
|
|
|
|
|
structured schedule:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Schedule: A high level container that maps to each Conference Section.
|
|
|
|
|
* Day: A Day associated with a Schedule.
|
|
|
|
|
* Room: A Room associated with a Schedule.
|
|
|
|
|
* Slot Kind: A type of Slot associated with a Schedule.
|

|
|
|
* Slot: A discrete time period for a Schedule.
|

|
|
|
* Slot Room: A mapping of a Room and Slot for a given Schedule.
|
|
|
|
|
* Presentation: A mapping of a Slot to an approved Proposal from the ```proposals``` app.

Schedule Builder Form

It can be cumbersome to generate a schedule through the admin. With that in mind,
|
2014-03-03 19:10:28 +00:00
|
|
|
a generic schedule builder is available via a Schedule's edit view. For instance,
|
|
|
|
|
if a Conference site has a Talks Section and Schedule, the form would be
|
|
|
|
|
available for Staff at::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/schedule/talks/edit
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-03-04 13:47:19 +00:00
|
|
|
The form consumes a structured CSV file, from which it will build the schedule.
|

|
|
|
Sample CSV data is included below::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"date","time_start","time_end","kind"," room "
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","10:00 AM","11:00 AM","plenary","Room2"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","10:00 AM","11:00 AM","plenary","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","11:00 AM","12:00 PM","talk","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","11:00 AM","12:00 PM","talk","Room2"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","12:00 PM","12:45 PM","plenary","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/12/2013","12:00 PM","12:45 PM","plenary","Room2"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","10:00 AM","11:00 AM","plenary","Room2"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","10:00 AM","11:00 AM","plenary","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","11:00 AM","12:00 PM","talk","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","11:00 AM","12:00 PM","talk","Room2"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","12:00 PM","12:45 PM","plenary","Room1"
|
|
|
|
|
"12/13/2013","12:00 PM","12:45 PM","plenary","Room2"
|
|

It is worth noting that this generates the **structure** of the schedule. It
|
|
|
|
|
does not create Presentation objects. This will need to be done manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One can also **delete** an existing schedule via the delete action. This is
|
|
|
|
|
irreversible (save for a database restore).
