Business value

The reimagined schedule board experience makes it faster and easier for dispatchers to manage scheduling and better ensure effective use of valuable resources.

Feature details

The schedule board is a powerful tool that provides centralized scheduling capabilities for dispatchers to schedule technicians. It is also used by other workstreams to plan work for various types of resources, such as sales reps and engineers. There is investment in the schedule board in every wave across critical tenets, including performance, scale, security, and user experience.

This is a completely new version of the schedule board, enhancing both the user experience and performance on the hourly view. The time it takes to create bookings, along with the initial schedule board load time, is measurably improved. The intraday scheduling experience is also simplified.

The 2020 release wave 1 preview will support drag-and-drop scheduling scenarios for individual requirements in the hourly view of the schedule board. It will be followed by regular updates with additional functionality throughout wave 1.

Note

This feature is available in Unified Interface only. A new solution will be installed for the new schedule board experience.
