Here you'll see several options in the header of this page. 

Preset Filter: The default filter for this view is To Do. Use the  Filters menu to change the data displayed.


Date & Timeline Selectors: Use the Today buttons and the arrows on either side to navigate to a specific date or date range. The arrows will scroll by the increment selected to the right: Day, Week, Month, or Year.


The following example is one of many ways you can display and work with the data on this page.

Our records are displayed in a Gantt chart, which is the default view for this page. Each record is organized by Work Center (y-axis) over the days of the month (x-axis).

This gives you an at-a-glance view of your Work Center availability.


Modify Operation

If you click a record in Gantt view, you'll see a modal window where you can edit the record, or initiate the work order process.



There are numerous ways to modify the data and view of this page to meet your specific needs.
