Abstract

A system and method for scheduling a plurality of event programs, including: for each event program, generating a program calendar that enables a corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of event slots in the corresponding event program; for each event program, generating an administrator dashboard that enables the corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of schedulees for the corresponding event program; and for each schedulee, generating a schedulee calendar that enables the corresponding schedulee to schedule only the event slots assigned a priority tier that match to the priority tier assigned to the corresponding schedulee.

Claims

1. A platform for scheduling a plurality of event programs, comprising:

a program calendar module that generates a program calendar for each event program, each program calendar enabling a corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of event slots in the corresponding event program;

a dashboard module that generates an administrator dashboard for each event program, each administrator dashboard enabling the corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of schedulees for the corresponding event program; and

a schedulee calendar module that generates a schedulee calendar for each schedulee, each schedulee calendar allowing the corresponding schedulee to schedule only the event slots assigned a priority tier that matches to the priority tier assigned to the corresponding schedulee.

2. The platform of claim 1, wherein the program calendars and the administrator dashboards enable the program administrators to select the priority tiers from among a set of predetermined priority tiers.

3. The platform of claim 2, wherein each program calendar provides a user interface that enables the corresponding program administrator to create an event and specify a number of the event slots in the event for each of the predetermined priority tiers.

4. The platform of claim 1, wherein the program calendars and the administrator dashboards enable the program administrators to assign an exclusive tier to the event slots and the schedulees such that the schedulee calendars allow only the schedulees assigned to the exclusive tier to schedule the event slots assigned to the exclusive tier.

5. The platform of claim 1, wherein each administrator dashboard includes a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and enables the corresponding program administrator to sort one or more of the corresponding schedulees based on at least one of the parameters.

6. The platform of claim 1, wherein each administrator dashboard includes a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and enables the corresponding program administrator to selectively invite one or more of the corresponding schedulees based on at least one of the parameters.

7. The platform of claim 1, wherein each administrator dashboard includes a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and enables the corresponding program administrator to initialize the parameters in the table by uploading a file to the platform.

8. The platform of claim 1, wherein each administrator dashboard includes a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and enables the corresponding program administrator to assign the priority tier to one or more of the corresponding schedulees based on at least one of the parameters.

9. The platform of claim 1, wherein each administrator dashboard includes a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and a set of bar graphs for visually depicting the parameters contained in the table.

10. A method for scheduling a plurality of event programs, comprising:

for each event program, generating a program calendar that enables a corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of event slots in the corresponding event program;

for each event program, generating an administrator dashboard that enables the corresponding program administrator to assign a priority tier to each of a set of schedulees for the corresponding event program; and

for each schedulee, generating a schedulee calendar that enables the corresponding schedulee to schedule only the event slots assigned a priority tier that match to the priority tier assigned to the corresponding schedulee.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the program calendars and the administrator dashboards enable the program administrators to select the priority tiers from among a set of predetermined priority tiers.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein generating a program calendar includes generating a user interface that enables the corresponding program administrator to create an event and specify a number of the event slots in the event for each of the predetermined priority tiers.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the program calendars and the administrator dashboards enable the program administrators to assign an exclusive tier to the event slots and the schedulees such that the schedulee calendars allow only the schedulees assigned to the exclusive tier to schedule the event slots assigned to the exclusive tier.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein generating an administrator dashboard includes generating a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and sorting the table based on at least one of the parameters.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein generating an administrator dashboard includes generating a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and selectively inviting one or more of the corresponding schedulees based on at least one of the parameters.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein generating an administrator dashboard includes generating a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and initializing the parameters in the table by uploading a file.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein generating an administrator dashboard includes generating a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and assigning the priority tier to one or more of the corresponding schedulees based on at least one of the parameters.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein generating an administrator dashboard includes generating a table of parameters for the corresponding schedulees and generating a set of bar graphs for visually depicting the parameters contained in the table.
