Scheduling software can be challenging to master for a variety of reasons. None come with the ideal settings out of the box, and Layouts, User Preferences, and default options must be tweaked to achieve optimal performance. Often, the Help files fail to connect the user to real-life scenarios and fail to explain the practical applications of functions. Furthermore, there are numerous flicks and switches with enigmatic names that are difficult to comprehend or determine their purpose or importance. These challenges make learning the software extremely difficult without a comprehensive guide written by an experienced user. Investing in a book authored by Paul E. Harris will address all these issues and enable you to set up the software properly, understand all the obscure functions, and become productive more quickly, enhancing your career opportunities and salary with a solid understanding of the software.
