Planning and scheduling work

You can plan and schedule upcoming work in a graphical view.

You can manage upcoming work and assignments by creating schedules. By using the graphical view, maps, and calendars, you can see the work and resource requirements that are in the schedule. For unplanned work, you can respond to requirements by graphically assigning work to the appropriate labors and crews, based on their availability. You can create street-level routes for work lists to visually manage work progress on maps that show work, crews, and labor based on their Maximo® service addresses.

The following applications are used to plan and schedule upcoming work.
