A long scheduling journey
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My university uses it (currently) to schedule our classes for 20,000+ students. It was adopted to replace having to input thousands of pdf request forms manually. It is used for our traditonal school for Fall, Spring, and Summer as well as for our Extension (which is often onine offerings). We have paused adopting the Event option until we are satisfied with the sscheduling software.
