Manual scheduling on the schedule board in Universal Resource Scheduling

Use the schedule board to manually create bookings when you need full control over resource assignments. Manual scheduling is useful for emergency work or requirements with limited complexity.

Create a manual booking

Select Book on the schedule board. Select a requirement and a resource, start date/time, end date/time, booking status, and booking method.

Important

Manual bookings don't validate constraints like availability, characteristics, or location. Use the schedule assistant if you want the system to honor constraints of a booking.

When to use manual scheduling

Manual scheduling on the schedule board works well for:

• Emergency work that needs immediate assignment regardless of optimization
• Simple requirements with limited constraints
• Overrides when you need to schedule outside of normal rules

For requirements where you want the system to match resources based on skills, availability, and travel time, use the schedule assistant or quick scheduling instead.
