Scheduler Services
17 Aug 201711 minutes to read
Essential Scheduler makes use of specific service actions which are described below - in order to fetch records from the remote server and bind to it, to export it wholly in a PDF format and also to export/import its appointment content in an ICS format. It makes use of ejDataManager, in order to bind the remote data to it.
