Psychiatrist's Clinic

The psycologist' booking problem is the need to book a course of sessions simultaniously. Multi·Project·Planner's unique template facilities are used to formulate a set of template courses.

In this case we operate with three templates:

• 6 sessions with one week between.
• 6 sessions with two weeks betwwen.
• 12 sessions with two weeks between.

When an appointment is made with the client the first time, a template is booked in the schedule. The first session is agreed upon with the client, i.e. it is an appointment, the others are preliminary sessions.

The picture shows two weeks of the schedule for the psycologist' clinic.

The day has be divided into four time-slots of one and a half hours duration. Within a time-slot the psychologist performs a session.

The time-slots named 'private', are used as an occasional buffer.

A bar represents a session with a client. If a bar has a black triangle attached, the session has been aggreed upon with the client, i.e. it represents an apointment.

Although Multi·Project·Planner's minimum time unit is a day, this example shows how to use rows to represent time-slots.
