Provide a central, online area to track shared and human resources.

The SharePoint In/Out Schedule Board Solution Accelerator is an easy to use, all-in-one digital whiteboard designed to centralize scheduling and contact information for teams and groups.

Powered by three different web parts and tied together by a custom site template, the system allows you to quickly group, sort, and scan the current status of your team members via a color coded Schedule Board, or review schedule conflicts and future engagements in a Gantt-style calendar. Even better, current and future status information is easily updated from any of the components, including the My Status Web Part, which can be added to any page and used to view and add to the Schedule Board site's data.

The In/Out Schedule Board is easy to install and configure, and can use Contacts from an custom List, or the SharePoint User Info List.
