I'm in the early stages of setting up a Sharepoint "intranet" site for
my company. We are pretty much learning as we go since none of our IT
department has ever used the product before.
The head of our Technical department wants to publish an "On-Call
Schedule" for who should be contacted each day of the week for
customer phone calls. One would think that this would be extremely
easy and straight forward. When I actually went to construct it,
however, I ran into an annoying problem. I setup just a standard
Calendar and figured they could just post the schedule on there each
month. The general idea is to say:
Monday-
On-Call: Bob
1st backup: John
2nd Backup: Joe
Tuesday-
On-Call: Joe
1st Backup: Bob
2nd Backup: John
Wednesday-
On-Call: John
1st Backup: Joe
2nd Backup: Bob
and so on repeating...
The thing is we want these to be 'All Day Events' and always list in
the same order from top to bottom. Initially it looked like the
events listed in the order they were entered, but by the time we
started entering the second week, the order started getting jumbled,
so instead of On-Call, 1st BU, 2nd BU (from top to bottom) we might
get 1st BU, 2nd BU, On-Call (from top to bottom) regardless of the
order we created the events. This may seem an insignificant detail,
but we want something that looks uniform and logical across the board.
Is there any way to sort the items or something of that nature? Is
there a better alternative to the calendar that we might try?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
