Graphical Assignment application

You assign work to labor and crews at your facility based on their skills and availability. In the Graphical Assignment application, you view upcoming work and assign the work graphically to the appropriate labor or crew resource, and respond to dynamic work situations.

On the Work List tab, you can create a list of scheduled work orders and the available labor and crews, and apply a street level route.

The graphical view consists of two tabs. On the Assignment View tab, you can review unassigned work and the resources that are available to do the work. You see the daily availability of your crews and technicians, including shifts and breaks, and exceptions such as sick leave and vacation time. You can access resource details, such as skill, rate, and certifications. You can also see current assignments and balance the workload. You can reassign work, or split work between resources or across shifts. In the Work View tab, you can see work details, such as assets and priority. You can also modify work details, such as status, work priority, and target start and end dates.

In the Dispatch view, you can see work and work routes in maps and calendars. These tools also provide a graphical view of the requirements, availability, and work assignments of labor and crews. You can use these tools to view detailed information about labor and crews to monitor their work progress more precisely in the short term, such as during a work shift.

In the Dispatch view, you can do the following tasks to respond more effectively to dynamic work situations:
  • Sequence and assign work to labor and crews based on the priority, status, and locations of work orders
  • Determine travel time between work orders
  • Locate labor and crews using their mobile devices or global positioning system (GPS)

All assignment information can be saved to the associated work records.
