Following on from part one’s how to use User Info Mode, we now turn to part two of our In/Out Schedule Board mini-series with…How to use Contact List Mode
Bamboo’s In/Out Schedule Board is an easy-to-use, all-in-one digital whiteboard designed to centralize scheduling and contact information for teams and groups.
Powered by three different Web Parts and tied together by a custom site template, the system allows you to quickly group, sort, and scan the current status of your team members via a color-coded Schedule Board, or review schedule conflicts and future engagements in a Gantt-style calendar. Even better, current and future status information is easily updated from any of the components, including the My Status Web Part, which can be added to any page and used to view and add to the Schedule Board site’s data.
In/Out Schedule Board is easy to install and configure and can use Contacts from a custom List, or the SharePoint User Info List.
