Schedule Mapper: Finding Precise Time Slots
What is Schedule Mapper?
Schedule Mapper is a powerful scheduling tool that allows you to "map" multiple users' availabilities to schedule events between them. The process is quite simple and intuitive:
Select a specific date range (e.g., January 1st–January 15th).
Define a time slot (e.g., 10:00 AM–12:00 PM).
Identify which users—tutors, students, parents, or admins—are available during that time frame.
The tool simplifies complex scheduling scenarios, saving you hours of manual coordination.
