# Automated scheduling

## Events

When you start a business process (such as management of inspections and NOIs, creations of new documents for approval, or raising of non-conformances) you create an Event that is shown in a shared calendar, making the information about **any schedule change available in real time** to the people involved. 

This gives customers and suppliers a **comprehensive review of the exact current status of their order** and a reliable projection of the future planning and status.

### Event automated scheduling

Each new event for a specified business process is assigned a workflow with the tasks that are required to organize and manage it. The start date and end date of the event are used as a reference by the NotifyMe automation engine for the scheduling of all these tasks **based on pre-defined workflow rules.** 

{% hint style="success" %}
This makes it possible to plan the users daily activities around the event dates, **making sure that each task is carried out at the right moment.**
{% endhint %}

A calendar shared with the people involved, inside or outside an organization, can provide visibility and the assurance that fabrication will proceed as agreed, **minimizing the risk of unexpected delays** that could affect project deadlines. 

## Task schedule

{% hint style="success" %}
The NotifyMe collaborative workflows **break the working activities down to tasks**. 
{% endhint %}

Tasks are assigned to the most suitable persons in the project / package team, and are scheduled automatically based on pre-defined workflow rules. 

The NotifyMe Calendar provides a comprehensive overview of the **activities that have been planned or are in progress**, showing the main information in a single view. You will have visibility over all planned tasks that are assigned to you, and those where your are just a follower, with no responsibility in completing the task (but you still are informed about what's going on).

{% hint style="info" %}
This helps users **organize their daily activities and hit deadlines**!
{% endhint %}
