User Interface for assigning times throughout the day Thanks for the tips - With regards to your challenges, the use-case of the application should mean they aren't a problem. Generally we only specify the broad nature of the task, and staff are put on a single task for at least a few hours at a time. Thanks for the comments on the interface - I find that grouping like tasks by colour allows for the fastest identification, and then the letters/icons are just extra info if specifics are required. I wanted Lunch and Tea Breaks to pop out so I used an icon for them. |

User Interface for assigning times throughout the day I like the idea of the calendar, but having played around with a couple of implementations I think that the Multiple-Appointments paradigm of the calendar isn't quite right. I think I may try and take aspects of the calendar design (the drag-and-drop and resizing) and customize it so that Primary tasks can't overlap (but breaks can). Then add resize handles between tasks such that making one larger will reduce the relative size of the other. |

User Interface for assigning times throughout the day I should also mention that the roster typically shows between 40 and 60 staff members for any given day, so it is cramming a large amount of information into a small space. |

User Interface for assigning times throughout the day Each row can either be a single user (if viewing all staff for a single day) or a weekday (if viewing a four week period for a user). "S", "NT" and "F" represent different task types, while empty cells are times when the staff member is not rostered. |

Interface design for managing overlapping date periods Thanks for the tips. I reckon my real estate is too limited for a calendar view, but I will keep it in mind for a future project... |

Interface design for managing overlapping date periods @Keyne That's right - this would appear in the Edit screen for an individual staff member. If you have an idea to easily edit this info for all staff I would love to hear it! |

Recomendation for choosing a start date / month This is a really nice looking control - do you happen to know if it has been implemented in JQuery or similar? If not, it could be worth writing a plugin! |

Recomendation for choosing a start date / month I often add a small enhancement to this kind of month picker - very simple "Previous Month" and "Next Month" buttons on either side of the Dropdown/textbox combo. This is particularly useful for cases when you want to select last month, and it is currently January. Saves having to select December AND type "2011" in the text field |
