Crew Management Module
The RentalPoint crew planner provides an
integrated graphical schedule to aid in effectively managing crew and
technicians. From version 10 onwards, the crew module
is included with the Enterprise
edition and is an option for the PRO edition.
The planner is broken down
into three sections:
·
The Unassigned
tab displays jobs that don’t have a technician assigned to
perform the task
·
The Assigned
tab displays the jobs that have technicians assigned to perform the task.
·
The Technician
List displays technician crew
assignments as well as any other activities (ie.
vacation, training, appointments etc)
