Emergency Calendar (eCal) 1.12

Emergency Calendar (eCal) allows users to create and display shift calendars commonly used by fire departments and emergency medical services (EMS). The application was developed to offer a user-friendly experience for easy personalization of shift schedules, whether it follows a 2/4, 4/6, 48/96 or any other Platoon/Kelly combination.

The creation of custom schedules in Emergency Calendar is based on the unique repeating pattern specific to each schedule format. It is crucial for users to include only one complete Rotation/Cycle when setting up their calendar to accurately reflect their work schedule.

IMPORTANT:

• The Emergency Calendar customizes any Kelly/Platoon schedule based on the specific rotation pattern. Users must include one complete Rotation/Cycle while setting up their calendars.
• Examples: 2/4 Kelly = 12-day Rotation/Cycle, 3/4 Kelly = 9-day Rotation/Cycle, 4/6 Kelly = 24-day Rotation/Cycle, 48/96 Platoon = 6-day Rotation/Cycle.
• Please refrain from attempting to schedule by week or month as it does not align with the pattern that defines each schedule.
