Event records are created by the user in multiple places in the AimStar system, depending upon what you are doing. The creation form is always the same, shown below. There, you will select the Company, the Manager, the Joborder, and sometimes the Candidate - though all of these "links" are optional as all event records are always linked directly to the Consultant/Recruiter who created it. If you are already working with a company, then the Company will be pre-filled. If you are already working with a manager, from the People Screen, then the Manager and Company will be pre-filled. If you are already working with a candidate, from the People Screen, then the Candidate will be pre-filled.
Displayed below are the Manage Event Screen, and the Agenda Screen.
Event records always have some kind of Action, which is selected from the dropdown list shown in yellow on the form above. These Event Actions are actually part of the Hierarchical Keyword system, and thus can be modified at will at any time. AimStar comes with a complete Event Hierarchy textfile, that you can modify at will, and them import instantly into your own Hierarchical Keyword database.
The Agenda Screen aggregates all Event records that have been created by all users, system-wide, and can be viewed in a variety of ways. You can also search/select just those Event records that meet certain criteria. Any event record selected is linked to (optionally) a candidate, manager, company, joborder, and each related record can be launched into it's primary working form by double-clicking on the name/number.
The Alert feature will signal the user(s) if any event falls within a user-selected range of time on any given date.
