That's fine, totally understood.

I would invite everyone to look at the screen samples, read the posts and watch the videos and then vote.

Here are some brand new SE videos so that you may see the new Scheduler in action:

Folks - It is very important that we hear from you on this question ASAP.

I have even turned on the option to re-vote! If you are uncertain, please look at the previews and videos of the SE 7.0 Scheduler in action and then re-consider your vote. Thanks

My reply is kinda split between 1 and 2, I have never bothered with the old one due to its poor functionality but the new one look nice and intuitive to use. As soon as we upgrade a couple laptops I will switch to it and try it out ( after it is available to the rest of us ).

Understood; 1 implies a changeover whereas 2 implies "never used the old one" so could you vote #2? :wink:

Happy Friday! I need to share some POLL results with management today and I really would like to have some more votes recorded to get a stronger picture of where we are. Thanks

Please take a moment to look over the screen shots and watch the SE 7.0 videos and then VOTE for where you see yourself in the upcoming changeover to the new schedule. We want to know how intuitive the SE 7.0 Scheduler is and where users might need additional help getting used to its daily operation.

Here are some brand new SE videos so that you may see the new 7.0 Scheduler in action:
