The e-mail scripting feature is designed to enable users to specify which information is sent in e-mails. Appointments can now be synchronised with Microsoft Outlook, the company says, adding that Pro Schedule Web administrators can now change configuration options and manage data right from the browser. In addition, there is now an Enterprise edition of the Pro Schedule software that is designed to connect to virtually any database server.

There are four different editions of Pro Schedule: Standard, Client/Server, Enterprise and Web. The Standard, Client/Server and Enterprise editions have a simple intuitive graphical interface. While the Standard edition can be used with multiple users over a network, the Client/Server and Enterprise editions are better suited for large numbers of users, the company claims.

According to CyberMatrix, only the Enterprise edition can be scaled up to handle massive user loads, but the Pro Schedule Enterprise integrates with virtually any large database server, including Microsoft SQL Server. The Client/Server, Enterprise and Web editions can be used with multiple users accessing schedule data over the company intranet or even the Internet, the company adds. Pro Schedule Web aims to allow resource scheduling over any Web browser on virtually any operating system, not just Windows.

Pro Schedule runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP and 2003 server. Pro Schedule runs best on a Pentium with at least 64MB RAM and 20MB hard disk space, the company says. For Pro Schedule Client/Server a dedicated NT4, W2K, XP or 2003 server with 500 MB RAM and power back-up is recommended to host the Pro Schedule server application. Pro Schedule Web requires a Web server, such as Apache or Microsoft IIS, which can serve Windows executable CGI scripts. A dedicated Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 server is recommended. The clients require only a Web browser. Pro Schedule Enterprise requires a database server, such as Microsoft SQL server, MySQL or PostgreSQL.
