This module is used to maintain the job schedule of service personnel. This is a task management tool which helps to manage the time utilization of service Engineers, Technicians and service personnel for assigned jobs.

Scheduling

The scheduling Diary shows all bookings and jobs scheduled for your site technicians. Whatever appointments you book for your service personnel will appear here, they are all easily filtered by day, week or month. Further, you can view each service personnel’s diary separately.
