Schedule Priority

Optimize Gantt and Schedule View for Easier Use

With a finite number of time and resources, the ability to prioritize jobs is critical. However, as job priority is defined by multiple criteria, it’s often difficult to look at the schedule and be confident that jobs are scheduled as they should be. Consequently, dispatchers often needlessly manually intervene and change the schedule.

Schedule Priority improves visibility of the schedule and instills confidence in users that it’s accurate. It identifies the work that needs to be rescheduled and simplifies the prioritization of tasks for scheduling with a time and priority based management system, which works uniformly across all tasks.

Creates an efficient schedule with better visibility which reduces manual intervention by dispatchers and schedulers.

Rotate Shift

Simplify the Creation of Rotating Shifts

Manually creating working shifts for technicians can be a laborious and cumbersome task for organizations that run shift rotations.

Rotate Shift simplifies the exercise of creating rotating shifts by allowing users to define the rotation schedule and to whom it should apply. The pattern is then applied to each of the designated technicians. Instead of having to manually enter non-weekly work patterns, this targeted solution allows the user to create a work calendar pattern that accounts for the on/off schedules prevalent in the Service Industry. Once created, variations of the pattern can be made for your technicians to choose.

Efficient, adaptable and easy to use, Rotate Shift streamlines the process of creating rotating shifts.

Duplicate NA

Simple Duplication of Non-Availability Assignments for Multiple Users

Creating Non-Availability (NA) assignments such as group meetings or training for multiple people can be a tedious, time-consuming process, especially since ClickSchedule only allows users to create one assignment at a time.

  • Time period (in days) to apply
  • Week days to apply
  • Engineers to be assigned

Once selected, entered and submitted, users are provided with a duplicate NA form detailing the information, while leaving the original NA form intact. NA assignment details are copied from the original, completely avoiding the need for multiple manual duplications.

Save dispatchers/schedulers time and effort when creating identical NA assignments for multiple people.

System Alert

Improve Visibility of Alerts

It’s easy for dispatchers to accidentally miss alerts, especially when they’re displayed in a system window. Alerts can relate to safety issues in the field, so when technicians need assistance, it’s critical for these alerts to be prominently visible in a pop-up window, rather than dispatchers inefficiently scrolling through their entire notification list.
