This flexible interface allows Planners to quickly toggle between granular and high-level planning modes.
Sidebar Sections
The left-hand sidebar is divided into three expandable panels:
My Task – Tasks assigned to the user viewing the calendar (for Planners with jobs)
Staff Task – Individual technician task list
Team Task – Tasks assigned to technician groups or teams
Each section shows subtabs for:
Today – Tasks due or active today
Tomorrow – Preview upcoming assignments
All Tasks – Full task list across any timeframe
Tip: Use the Team Task view for dynamic dispatching which is ideal when managing groups of technicians who rotate coverage or work zones. |
Interpreting the Calendar View
Each task in the calendar is automatically colour-coded by the system to help distinguish users visually. Hovering over a task block will display key details like:
Job title and task name
Scheduled start time and duration
Task location
Use this hover preview to quickly assess workload distribution or identify overlapping schedules.
Map View for Location-Based Planning
In Map View, you can:
See all users plotted by location
View location of each users
Use filters to isolate technicians
This is especially useful when scheduling jobs in urban areas, managing regional teams, or minimising travel time.
