How to add schedules to your web site

I received some great questions this week regarding schedule-my-employees.com and I thought many other people might have the same questions so I will post them here:

The broadcast feature is cool, but I wonder - is there a way to have employees go to my own website, and then click a link "view current schedule" and have it link to an online view of the schedule? Is the email broadcast the ONLY way to disseminate the schedule?
To add a link to your web site, go to a schedule and scroll down and look in the 'Access and Organization' section for 'Group web link for this schedule'. You can add this URL to your web site. It has two nice features: You can go to any schedule and use the 'Publish Schedule' button to control what schedules employees see when they click the link, also you can go the Schedule Manager Home page and fill in a View Code if you want to limit who can see the schedules.

The schedules have a week like Monday through Sunday... and that's cool for a schedule that doesn't change... but what about a restaurant, where the schedule is different from week to week... there is no where that brands a Monday as Monday March 10 for example... is there a reason you have left dates out? I do my schedule a month ahead, and would love to be able to plug in at least a couple weeks at a time, but then I would need to have dates associated with days.
The way users currently put a time frame on a schedule is to go to the schedule and scroll down to the 'Header' section. Users will enter there the range of dates the schedule is for. Example: TASTE CAFE SCHEDULE - July 9nd to July 15th. I am looking at a more formal assignment of data ranges to schedules, but while I am working through the technical and business considerations of this, putting the data range in the header seems to be working well. To handle making schedules a month in advanced, once you have the current week's schedule entered, go back to the Schedule Manager Home page and click the 'Copy' link for the current schedule. This will make a copy of it. You can then click on the copy's Edit link and update the header with its date range and make any needed changes to the schedule. You can continue to make up to a months future schedules this way. Once a schedule is no longer needed because its date range
has passed, you can delete it to free up space for future schedules. If you want to archive a schedule before you delete it, you can save it to your computer with the 'Printer/Spreadsheet Friendly Schedule (Manager View)' link on the schedule, or use the 'Easy Export' feature near the bottom of the Schedule Manager Home page to save it to an on-line office suite like Google Docs.

Happy Scheduling,
