YearPlanner 2.5.8

YearPlanner 2.5.8 is a Microsoft® Windows application designed for managing, organizing, and presenting calendar based events-data for individuals, groups, and businesses. It can be used as a diary, scheduler, project management tool or any other application requiring a long term view of calendar data.

YearPlanner lets you plan events on a single multi-month page from 1 to 12 months using the classic planner layout usually only available as a wall chart. Home users remember appointments, schedule holidays and plan special events. Schools and colleges create academic year plans and term time tables. Businesses plan projects and schedule resources.

Unlike a wall-chart YearPlanner shows you the year ahead – not just the calendar year. This gives you an unprecedented strategic view of up and coming events. No other calendar program has this approach at the core of its design. YearPlanner is a Microsoft Windows compatible application which manages, organizes, and presents calendar based events-data for individuals, groups, and organizations. It can be used as a diary, scheduler, project management tool or any other application that requires a long term view of calendar data.

YearPlanner has all the features that you would expect from a top-of-the-range scheduling application - Event reminders (with definable sounds), recurring events, categorization, and much more. You can even import calendar data directly from Microsoft Outlook. YearPlanner delivers a high degree of flexibility and control. You can define colour schemes, fonts, and layouts. You can also define the start date, start day-of-week, and weekend days. In fact you can also decide which days of the week are visible. And, if you want to produce hard-copy, the print-what-you-see interface ensures you always know how your printed page will look.

Major Benifits:

1. YearPlanner can be used whenever appointments and events need to be organised, managed or presented. Here are some of the many benefits that YearPlanner delivers:
   • Never forget an import date/appointment with YearPlanner alarms and recurring events. YearPlanner can be minimised to the system tray and then will popup a reminders window with a definable sound and warning period.
   • Produce attractive printed calendars and planners using one of the many, fully customisable, themes and layouts.
   • Keep on top of your schedule. YearPlanner is not just a calendar drawing tool. It allows you to mange and organise your diary. You can categorise events and use them to filter views and colourise labels.
   • Communicate and publicise your schedule. YearPlanner's customisable output allows you to share important events either as a printed document or as a digital (PDF) file. By including your organisation's logo and contact details on the YearPlanner output you can promote your organisation.
   • Produce content for your website. The capability to produce digital output in the universal PDF format makes it easy to produce high quality calendar content for your website.
   •  Drive traffic to your website by providing free calendar information about your industry/organisation. Promote your website as the source for up-to-date events information.
   •  Produce free marketing material for distribution by email. Have a reason to remind your customers/clients/audience who you are. Avoid that 'spam filter' but sending them something useful.
