PRESENTATION
xTeam is an incredibly useful tool to manage the working schedule of people in your group
or organization. Our goal is always to make the user's experience as intuitive and task
oriented as possible.
xTeam is a really powerful schedule management tool that is visually appealing. It helps
you share information, work jointly on schedules, and use all of your available human
resources as efficiently as possible: you can create daily working schedules, manage days
off for each person and track holidays.
xTeam is designed to automate the employee scheduling process. Manual scheduling can
take hours or even days to create and maintain. xTeam can dramatically reduce this
administrative expense, save time, optimize working hours, and eliminate schedule
mistakes.
We designed xTeam to be very user-friendly. Instead of wasting your time figuring out how
to decipher complex software, you can be more productive and efficient. Schedules are
available in a printer / spreadsheet friendly format so you easily print them out to post on
the wall or attach them in PDF format to any email.
REQUIREMENTS
xTeam requires OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8, OS X 10.9 or OS X 10.10 and a Mac with 64-Bit
capabilities. It’s available in English, French and German languages.

With the folder icon at the bottom of the window, you can create groups. With the + button you can add new resources to a selected group.
You can also drag and drop a resource from a group to another group.
Assigning a resource to a group is always mandatory.
When you add a new resource, this window will appears :
You can add a picture for a resource but the most important is that you can setup a
custom schedule for each resource. You have 3 options:
- use the default settings of the schedule that you just created. Remember the
schedule button.
- create a “custom week” schedule for this resource only. In the image above, we decided that Patrick will only work 3 days.
- create a complete custom schedule for each week of the year with the last option. www.xteamapp.com

Let see how the third custom option is working. See below this image:
You can see that for week 13, Patrick is working during 3 days (white areas). For each week, you can setup a different schedule. Clicking on the blue calendar zone bring a popup window where you define hours for
each selected day.
You can also save a week as a template to use it later for another week. You can
browse weeks with the white arrows or the menu.
When you are done setting up your team schedule, let’s go to next step.

With the folder icon at the bottom of the library window, you can create groups. With the + button you can add new assignments to a selected group.
