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 discreet 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 cumbersone to generate a schedule through the admin. With that in mind, 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 The form consume 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).
