Waiting room: where do I put jobs that don't have a date yet?

Do you already know that a job has to be done, but not yet when? Then create the planning item already, without a start and end date. It ends up in the waiting room: the list of all jobs that still have to be scheduled. That way you don't forget anything, and you schedule them as soon as you know when.

How does a job end up in the waiting room?

A planning item is in the waiting room as long as it has no start and end date. That happens:

• if you create a planning item via the Add (+) action button in the overview of the dayplanning;
• if you create a planning item from a project, order, employee, equipment or installation;
• if you use the Move to waiting room action button on a planning item.

Viewing the waiting room

The waiting room is a bar at the bottom of the calendar of the dayplanning, with the number of jobs next to it. Click the bar to open the list.

In the bar you export the list to Excel, and via Waiting room overview you see the jobs on a map.

Scheduling a job

You schedule a job from the waiting room in two ways:

1. Dragging: drag the job to the right spot in the calendar.
2. Adding: in the Add column, click Add or drag and fill in the date and the time under from and Until.

As soon as the job has a start and end date, it disappears from the waiting room and is in the calendar.

Settings

You determine which columns and quick filters you see in the waiting room in Settings > Dayplanning > Waiting room overview.
