Help me find the right system/software!

Factual Questions

I’m looking for a program that will allow me to display a simple schedule of upcoming tasks, on what will be a second mounted LCD monitor where an entire office can see it.

Much like the departure screens in an airport. I want to be able to look up and see appointments/ tasks. Software would have to be easy to use, and up datable on the fly as appointments tasks change.

I’ve seen some POS (point of service) software that has (sort of) that capability, but it’s way more cumbersome and bloated than I need. I just want to be able to throw a big schedule for everyone to be able to see.

Any ideas??

Simple, free, highly compatible.

I will definitely take a look at Google Calendar. Right now Outlook calendars are the method most utilized here, however I have doubts they will provide an adequate display. I’m looking for something that’s easy too read and pleasing to the eye.

You can customize the view with CSS.

And you can connect Google Calendar with Outlook so people can continue to use that to view and change events.

And the dates automatically translate into the local language wherever you happen to be connecting from. I’m connecting from Korea and the labels and menu options display in Korean. Everything else displays in English.

Thanks for the link. I’m definitely going to use this one!
