Help with Scheduling Date in script

leroy-dsouza · September 19, 2017, 7:40am

I have a csv file that contains the following details
samaccountname,extensionattribute5
User01,22/09/2017
User02,22/09/2017
User03,22/09/2017
User04,23/09/2017
User05,23/09/2017
User06,24/09/2017
User07,24/09/2017
User08,24/09/2017
User09,25/09/2017
User10,25/09/2017
User11,
User12,
User13,

I’m looking for the ability for the script to assign an available date (no earlier than a week) to those that don’t have Extensionattribute5 populated.
The day cannot have more than 3 users assigned

The script needs to:
Lists all the dates scheduled.
Group them
Checks if there are less than 3 users.
If yes, then get the number of free slots, assign that date to the number of users.
If no, find the next available date

The aim is to find the earliest available date after a week from today.

So for eg if today is the 22nd of Sept 2017
It will check 29th Sept if there is less than 3 allocations. If so 29th Sept becomes the allocated date for that user.
If 29th is NOT available, it will increment the date by a day and check 30th Sept if less than 3 allocations and so on.

@ Sam Boutros thanks however I’m hoping to achieve this comprehensively.

Restarting requirements:

Assign days sequentially to users
Maximum users/day = 3
Minimum users/day = 3 (except last assigned day)
Next assigned day = today + 7

Is this accurate?
Does the last requirement apply to currently assigned users as well to users without dates?

leroy-dsouza · October 28, 2017, 1:35am

Next available date => today + 7
Max users/day = 3
Sequence not a requirement
Weekends to be excluded (I can put this at a later date)

The logic needs to be similar to say a receptionist making a booking for an appointment.
