Working With Calendar Configuration
On the Scheduler Calendar, you can configure various options.
• By default, all time zones defined in the system appear on the
Time Zones list on the
Scheduler Calendar. To ease time zone selection, you can
configure the Time Zones list to reduce the number of options to only those zones where your teams work. Time zone modifications are global, and affect all dispatchers. You can also
enable user-defined default time zones.
• The
Dispatch Job dialog box is disabled by default. To provide dispatchers with the capability to edit and confirm
Appointment details at the time of dispatch, you can
configure the Dispatch Job dialog box.
• Estimated travel time for
Resources to reach service locations is essential information to properly schedule and plan resource utilization. To maximize scheduling accuracy, you can
enable automatic travel time calculation. You can disable this feature at times when
Resources are traveling long distances to
Appointments.
• In cases where dispatchers are working in the
Multi-Resource Assignment Calendar to create
Appointments that fall within a long date range, you can ease their work by
disabling automatic date range adjustment.
• When you hover your cursor over an
Appointment on the
Calendar, a preview label appears and shows the work order number and account name by default. You can
configure Appointment preview labels to meet your organization’s unique needs.
• To see live updates that show the actual times for
Appointmentsand the maximum adjustment range for previous
Appointments, you can
configure Actual Time settings.
• By default, multi-assign
Events are disabled. To provide dispatchers with the ability to create
Events attended by multiple
Resources, you can
enable multi-assign Events.
