Frequently asked questions

Can I move a job to another day or another person?

Yes. On the week board you drag a job to a different day or team member, and unscheduled jobs can be dragged straight onto the board.

Can more than one person be assigned to a job?

Yes. A job can be assigned to several team members, and it appears in each person’s row on the schedule.

Does the schedule warn me when someone is overbooked?

The week board totals the booked hours for each person on each day and flags days that go over a standard eight-hour day.

What happens when a job can’t be finished on the day?

Mark it as could-not-complete. The job is deferred with a reason so it’s easy to find and rebook.
