To create a schedule, click the + CREATE button on the top right.
You will be prompted to fill in information about your schedule such as Name, Season, Type, Office, and Start/End Dates. Once you select your office, 3 more boxes will appear for Division, Gender, and Category.
...
After entering all of this information, click the SAVE button and you will be brought into the schedule.

You have the ability to select a Previous Draft, which is a schedule that you have started but not yet completed. You can also add schedule breaks by click the + ADD button under Breaks, where you specify the Start Date and Total Weeks of the break duration.
...
Now it’s time to Select Teams for the schedule. Click the + ADD TEAM button to create a row for adding a team. Add a row for each team participating in the schedule. There should not be any duplicate teams.
...
To help simplify this process, you have the ability automatically add teams into the schedule by clicking the USE EXISTING TEAMS button. This will only work if there are already teams existing within the schedule. Teams can be added to the schedule manually in the schedules Teams tab, or if a partial schedule has been created then those teams will be added as well.

You can also fill each teams home ice information by clicking the FILL ICE TIMES button, and all of the selected teams will have their home ice information automatically inserted.

For an example of this, I briefly changed the statuses of the first 6 games to each of the 6 different statuses and labelled their status names.
Notice that the Cancelled and Postponed statuses have the same icon. To differentiate these, you can hover over any icon to see their status name. A game that is Active will not have an icon next to it.
...
You have the ability to manually set multiple games as a conflict with ease. To do this, select 1 or more checkboxes beside a game and then click SET CONFLICT on the top right.
You can also do the opposite and set conflicted games to active by selecting 1 or more checkboxes beside a game with a conflict, and then click SET ACTIVE on the top right.
To easily view all of the games with a conflict status, simply click the Show conflicts only toggle button on the top left.
...
If you ever need to quickly swap the arena of 2 games, you can do so by selecting the checkboxes of the desired games and then click SWAP ICE on the top right.
The game details will all stay the same except for the home and away teams. The home team from each game will swap, and the away team from each game will swap.
...
Finally, lets analyze the generated schedule by clicking ANALYZE on the bottom left.
Here you will be able to view some analytics of the schedule such as Summary, New Matchups, and Byes.
...
When you have finished analyzing the generated schedule, click CLOSE on the bottom right of the Analytics window and then click NEXT on the bottom left of the Review Games page.
...
