Slightly different file structures are required for the different templates, however some files can be used for both.    The appointment file can be used with the TimeLineDD as well as the Scheduler.  They also require a Resource File that can be an employee, Work Dept, Rental Equipment, or any resource that you may wish to Schedule.  The TimeLine data can count inventory sold by date, appointments and durations, invoices and amounts, let your imagination be the limit.

The basic differences between file requirements for the templates.

WallCalendar ---  Requires Date Field, optional GuiId Field*

Schedule ---  Requires Date, Time, Duration Field(Minutes), optional GuiId Field*

TLGraph ---  Requires a Start Date and End Date

TimeLineDD --  Requires a field to sum(Short/Long/Decimal/Real)(this can be Local variable)

*GuiId Field is used to remember settings in the RecurSched and WCRecurReminder templates.

Date keys used in the Template need to be in ascending order or the template will not work with the file.

For your convenience, a BSTTxd directory under the Example File contains 7 example .txd files with the idents removed so you can safely add one or more of them to your dictionary for use with the templates.

ApptLong.txd --  Longer Version of an Appointment File

ApptShort.txd -- minimum Appointment file information

Project.txd --  Sample Project File

Reminder.txd -- Sample Reminder File for Wall Calendar

Tasks.txd -- Sample Tasks File

Rsch.txd -- Sample file to remember settings in the templates using RecurSched and WCRecurReminder templates.

BSTDemo.txd -- all files used in the Example/demo

Add fields to the .txd files as needed.
