Calendar

What is on, what is free, and booking or moving things.

Ask what's on, what's due, or what's free#

Ask about some days and Archie hands your agent what your lists, your calendar, and your reminders hold for those days before it answers.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.8
How to use it
  1. Ask your agent a question that names a day and the schedule, such as "What's on Saturday?" or "What's due this week?"
  2. Your agent answers from your lists, your calendar, and your reminders, and says where each thing came from.
From your phone
A question typed on a chat app or in Archie Mobile gets the same kind of answer, because the computer running Archie gathers it.
Limits
  • It goes by the words of a question you type. "Am I around Friday?" has no schedule word, and routines and the mail and text watches never get it.
  • What is free works only on lists shaped like the restroom trailer and portable restroom setups, and it goes by the day, never the hour.
  • It reads what is written on your lists and one calendar on each connected account. A booking that is only in an email or a text is left out.
  • What it finds for those days goes to your AI company with your question.

Dates from your lists on the Calendar#

The Calendar tab shows the dates on your lists beside your calendar events, reminders, and routines, so a booking kept on a list shows on its day.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.8
Where it is
On your agent's Calendar tab, marked On your lists in the legend. Press a date's title and that list opens.
How to use it
  1. Open your agent's Calendar tab.
  2. Look for the dates marked On your lists, at the head of each day.
  3. Press one to open its list.
From your phone
In Archie Mobile, the Calendar under More shows the same dates for the next seven days, and pressing one opens Lists rather than that one list.
Limits
  • Pressing a list date opens the list and changes nothing.
  • Which dates count is read off the column names, so a list whose names are misread can show an old date or hide a coming one.
  • Birthdays and anniversaries come round every year.
  • The computer shows a week at a time. The phone shows the next seven days and does not move.

A stop moved onto a busy day#

Move a stop to a day its truck or driver is on your calendar for something else, or a day that job already has a stop. Your agent tells you what is there and asks before moving it.

  • On your computer
  • Since 0.3.11
Where it is
In your chat with your agent, with Move it anyway and Pick another day under its question.
How to use it
  1. Press Move it anyway, or Pick another day.
Limits
  • Only lists with a Driver or Truck column, and only when a stop's day moves.
  • It looks for the driver's or truck's name in your calendar's event titles. "Mike out" names Mike; "Dentist, 9am" does not.
  • A driver's working hours, and other stops that day, are not checked.
  • Only on a message you typed. A routine moving a stop is not held.

Where Bookings and your calendar differ#

On an event trailer agent, the morning list compares your Bookings list with your calendar for today and the next two weeks, and says where one has a booking the other does not. Ask what is on a day and your agent says the same.

  • On your computer
  • Since 0.3.11
Where it is
In the morning list, and in your agent's answers about a day.
Limits
  • It only reads. It changes neither Bookings nor your calendar, and you decide which is right.
  • Only clear differences are said. Anything within two days of a booking, part of a name, or a calendar that did not answer is left out.
  • The calendar side needs the customer's whole name, or the booking's event name with their last name.
  • Only the event trailer setup's Bookings list, and only your own calendar.
