Schedule & Dispatch 2019 Updates

Schedule & Dispatch 450

Release Details

  • Released October 15, 2019

Feature Enhancements

Hover Delay (#140)

  • We increased the time before the popups display throughout Schedule and Dispatch.

  • Now, if a user moves a mouse across the screen, the hover popups should not display. When the user stops the mouse cursor over a contact, equipment, or job record, the popup displays.

  • This enhancement makes the popups less distracting during normal site navigation.

Double Booking (#448)

We have added a new option to Allow Double Booking. When the checkmark is selected, Equipment, Jobs, and Contacts already scheduled can be added a second time for the same calendar period.

Enable Qualification Requirements Pill to Subscribe to Push Topic (#449)

The filter pills that show qualifications utilize color coding for easier identification. The pills now change colors with a PushTopic when the color for the qualification changes.

Focus Mode for Jobs (#450)

We have added an option to Highlight Job. With this checkmark selected, the current job the user is working on displays with a white background in the grid. Other jobs display with a gray background. This help users remember what job they are working on when switching between tasks.

Feature Enhancements

Apply Conditional Formatting on Qualification (#443)

  • A new feature allows you to add color coding to qualification requirements when the field displays on a job.

    1. Create a new text field in the Qualification_Requirement object called JSD Background Color.

    2. Assign HTML hexadecimal color codes to Qualification Requirements using the new field in the object.

    3. When displaying the Job, the color code specified for the Qualification Requirement displays as the background for the Related Qualification field.

  • This new feature makes it easier and quicker to identify the qualification required for a job by associating a color with a specific qualification.

We updated the error message that displays when a user with read-only access attempts to unschedule Crew or Equipment planning records when the user does not have permission to that action. The message now better explains why the user’s action is unsuccessful.
