Schedule Board: Provides a graphical tool that allows your back office team to schedule and view active Work Orders. This enables users to view Work Orders by engineer, route or on an interactive map. Unscheduled Work Orders can be quickly highlighted and allocated to an engineer using drag and drop tools, or automatically planned using the schedule assistant.
