Before you start

  • You know your normal operating days, hours, and customer arrival-window policy.

What you'll do

You will make the calendar reflect how your business actually works before the office books more jobs.

Set the scheduling rules

  1. 1

    Open Scheduling

    Go to Settings, then Scheduling.

  2. 2

    Confirm the business time zone

    Use the time zone where the work is performed. A wrong time zone can shift reminders and arrival windows.

  3. 3

    Set working days and hours

    Enter the normal days and hours crews can be scheduled.

  4. 4

    Review arrival windows and travel time

    Choose customer-facing windows that dispatch can realistically support.

  5. 5

    Save and test

    Create a test job and confirm its calendar time, customer message, and crew view all agree.
