WS: Calendar
Overview
The Work Scheduling Calendar is fully integrated with WS: Schedules and WS: Ticket Details. Using the Scheduling Calendar (in lieu of WS: Schedules) as the primary entry point into Work Scheduling is the most efficient method of managing and updating Schedules and Work Tickets.
The Calendar screen may be accessed from the WinTeam Work Scheduling menu.
Key Functionality
You can view the Calendar by Month, Week or Day.The Calendar color scheme makes it easy to quickly see current and selected days. Filters and Advanced Filter Options can be used with each view. On the Calendar, you can:
- Filter Views - Calendars can be created to show schedules filtered by Job Numbers, Crews and Tier Templates. Advanced Filter Options include Statuses, Schedule Dates, Routes, Customers, Tasks, Frequencies, Types, Crews, Ticket Numbers, Ticket Supervisor, Section and Additional Work Descriptions. You can filter for Recurring, Billable and/or Complaints. You can choose to include related tickets, and use the Job Description, Route, Task or Ticket Number to identify items on the calendar.
- View Ticket Events - You can view ticket events on the calendar with a ticket grid displayed beneath it. The Ticket grid is an alternate view of the tickets for the day, week or month.
- Manage Schedules and Tickets - Create and manage Ticket Details with right-click options, copy functionality, and drag-and-drop functionality. Using the Calendar makes it easy to manage your Schedules.
The basic sections of the Calendar consist of Header and Filters, Calendar, Grid and Vertical tabs. When you access the Calendar, the default view is by Month. You can resize each pane using the horizontal split bars.
The filters enable you to limit the items that display on the Calendar and in the grid.
Click the Advanced filter Options button to show/hide additional options and filters. When changes have been made to the filters/option, you will need to click Refresh to update the calendar and the grid.
Although the default view is by Month, you can change your view using the Month (or press ALT + M), Week (or press ALT + W), or Day (or press ALT + D) tabs.
Ticket Details correspond to the tickets displayed in the Calendar. Events and annual events do not occupy blocks of time in your calendar; instead, they appear as banners. An all-day appointment displays your time as busy when viewed by other people, but an event or annual event displays your time as free.
Use the filters to limit the items that display in the Calendar. The filters affect both the Calendar and the details in the grid. When a change is made to the filter criteria, click Refresh to update the items in the Calendar and grid.
