Work order calendar

All work orders with a due date appear on the calendar, as do unplanned work orders on the days they were actually worked. Overdue items are highlighted.

Multi-day work orders

A work order scheduled with a start date and a later finish date appears as a continuous band spanning every day of its execution window, not a single dot. Single-day work orders are unchanged.

Tip

Set realistic due dates. Check calendar for conflicts.

Drag & Drop Rescheduling

Reschedule work orders directly on the calendar by dragging an event to a new date. The due date updates automatically.

  1. Switch to Week or Month view
  2. Click and hold any work order event
  3. Drag to the target date
  4. Release — the due date is updated immediately

Tip

Drag & drop works for both work orders and preventive maintenance tasks.

Splitting a job across several shifts

When a job runs across more than one shift, open Schedule and expand “Split across several shifts”. Enter how many minutes go on each shift — nothing is divided for you, because an even split is a number nobody chose. The total cannot exceed the work order’s estimated duration; it may be less, and any minutes you leave unassigned are shown so the planner never quietly under-reports its load. On the planner the job then appears as one card per shift, each labelled with its own minutes. Drag one card and only that share moves; drop it on a shift that already holds part of the same job and the two merge.

Unplanned work orders

A work order with no scheduled start or due date appears on the days it was actually worked: from the day it was started to the day it was completed, or up to today while it is still in progress. A work order that was never started and has no date stays off the calendar — you will find it in the work order list. These work orders are never shown as overdue; in the mobile app, Show › Planned only hides them.
