Working with the Planning Board

The planning board displays all available resources and worklists as well as all assignments within a time period specified by you. You can find theimages/download/thumbnails/275254943/Planning-board-text-magenta_img.png in Innosoft Field Service Management under "Field Service" in the "Resource Planning" section.

The planning board is a Gantt chart in which assignments are displayed graphically. The assignments are indicated in the form of bars, with the bar length reflecting the time frame and the bar colour representing the type of assignment. Using the start and end points of the bars, the start and end times of the assignments are visualized along the horizontal time axis. In the upper area, the legend of the identifiers describes the different types of assignment. The vertical axis lists the available resources and worklists.

The planning board can be grouped by resources, addresses and projects and thus be used to optimize capacity utilization and project tracking.

In the "Group by" section you can find the buttons for switching to the different views:
