Our church uses EventU from ServiceU.com for scheduling. It is obvious that the security personel would need to be able to see the schedule easily so we have set up some easy tools for them.
The first step was the bookmark and shortcut. Each security staff member who sits at the front desk shares a login. This keeps everything easier for management and search links. When the security member logs into the computer there is a shortcut and bookmark which directly enters the system.

I have set up the searches I want them to use and made sure they have all options selected so that pending and unapproved still appear just in case reality insist on the event occuring.
Since ServiceU insists on the schedule being for Internet Explorer users only and makes us alienate people who use Firefox to look at the schedule on our site, I have installed the IE Tab Extension (I actually prefer version 1.0.6.4 since it works better with inline frames) and set my.serviceu.com as an “always load in IE Tab” link.
These improvements have made the security tasks much easier when compared to the default setup.
Just wanted to let you know that ServiceU doesn’t require IE. They allow IE and most Mozilla derived products (Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape)
That must have come with their redesign.
I really don’t like the new style (without the frames) since it makes it harder to get to the quicklinks, but it doesn’t cause some of the problems the frame one did.
Thanks for the heads up. I have IETab configured for it on all the computers I use Firefox on or have it linked directly to IE. Now I can undo that.
