Work Order Scheduling

When scheduling work orders and synchronizing them across various assets, the timeline can be of enormous value. Resources of the same type can be grouped and arranged in multi-depth hierarchies. The list of various assets, employees, contractors can be added and organized under it.

For add/edit a custom form with the necessary fields (including resources) can be built. Resources linked to a work order can be of various categories, eg. drivers, trucks, contractors and will show up in their respective rows.

You can use the date header template and add a simple event template to show the $ value and print the total daily revenue below every day in the header.
