Site Administration

Sites are ‘centers' or locations where visits will take place. Each site has its own scheduling rules and restrictions, as well as other settings that control behavior at that location. A site can also be “Virtual” where virtual engagements are planned and managed.

Site List

  2. Site List - Shows all your active sites. Click on a site name to edit it.

Add/Edit Site

The site edit screen is organized into several sections.

The first section is where you identify and describe the site.

  1. Site Status Button - Sites must be active in order to be available for scheduling. You may make a site inactive if it is temporarily closed or no longer in service.
  2. Site Name - This is what the requester will see in the option list when selecting a visit type.
  3. Site Name Abbreviation - A short description of the site.

  3. Reply To Email - When someone responds to an email that was generated by Nexus Scheduler, those responses will be sent to the email address(es) entered here.

Add/Edit Site - Scheduling Section

  2. Allow weekend scheduling - Determines whether requesters can request visits on the weekends.
  3. Visit Date Selection calendar defaults to show weekends - When checked, weekends will always be shown in the date selection and availability calendars.
  4. Allow Account Manager access to full agenda screen - Allow requesters access to the full agenda screen while scheduling visits.

  6. Account Manager can Copy Visits - Allow requesters to copy visits at this site.
  7. Maximum Visits per day limit - This is the limit on how many visits can be accepted for a particular day. Once the limit reached, the day will show up as unavailable to requesters.  (Which visit types count towards max visits per day can be setup from Visit Type Site Admin).
  8. Earliest allowed visit start time - This identifies the earliest time of day that a visit can start at this site.
  9. Latest allowed visit end time - This is the cutoff for how late a visit can run.  Once a requester chooses the duration of their visit, they will not be allowed to pick a start time that will cause the visit to exceed the latest allowed end time.
  10. Default Visit Start time - The default time you would prefer a morning visit to begin.  In the date/time selection process for a visit, this is the time that Nexus Scheduler will initially suggest as the start time for the requester (if it is available).

  12. Time Format - The preferred time format used at this site.

  1. Meeting Owners - This group includes the requester by default and anyone else who requested this visit.
  2. Briefing Managers - This group includes anyone assigned to supervise or manage the visit.
  3. Host - The host is an optional visit facilitator. If you're not using host , this section will not appear.

The follow-up email will be sent according to the number of days following the visit as specified in option 2 above.
