Daily work plan
The day's planned work, ready to share with your team on WhatsApp before the shift
Before a shift starts, someone has to say what is on the plan. The daily work plan answers that on one screen: every work order planned for a given day โ which team it belongs to, where it takes place and who is assigned โ plus a ready-made message you can paste straight into your team's WhatsApp group.
Where to find it
Open Reports and choose "Daily Work Plan". It opens on today; use the arrows or the date field to move to any other day. You need the Reports and Work orders read permissions. It is available on every plan.
What counts as planned
A work order appears on the plan when its scheduled dates (or its due date) fall on the selected day and it has not been completed or cancelled. Work already started shows an "in progress" tag and paused work an "on hold" tag, so the crew sees at a glance what is new and what continues. If you regenerate the plan during the day, work completed in the meantime drops out โ the plan always shows what remains.
Narrowing the plan
Filter by team, location or technician to produce the plan for one crew or one site. Team, Location and Technician each accept several selections, and whatever you select is repeated in the message header together with your own name under "Reported by".
Sharing it
Two buttons produce the same message. "Copy for WhatsApp" puts it on your clipboard; "Share on WhatsApp" opens WhatsApp with the message already written, so all you do is pick the group. The Message preview card shows exactly what will be sent.
- Pick the day and the team (and any other filters).
- Check the Message preview at the bottom of the page.
- Press Share on WhatsApp and choose your group โ or press Copy and paste it anywhere else.
A link on every line
Each work order in the message carries a link that opens it directly in FreeMaint, so a technician can tap their job in the group and land on it. WhatsApp only shows a preview card for the first link of a message โ the rest stay as plain tappable links, which keeps the plan readable.
Whose day is it?
The day always follows your company's timezone, not the phone or computer reading the plan. Two people in different countries generating the plan for the same date see exactly the same work orders.
