Scheduler — the appointment book — Add one, and what it needs

Add a Scheduler from the + View menu beside the view tabs. It is offered on any table with a Date field that records a time of day — a scheduler places appointments on hours, so a date with no time gives it nothing to place them on. Most tables are one switch away rather than genuinely unsuitable, because Include time is off by default. Where a table has exactly one date field, the menu offers Scheduler anyway and says what it will change: it turns the time on for that field first, then makes the view. Turning it on never rewrites a stored value — a date with no time keeps reading exactly as it did. Where a table has several date fields it cannot guess which one starts an appointment, so it sends you to the field list instead of picking one.
