Business value

With 2021 release wave 2, the new schedule board is at functional parity with the old schedule board along with many other usability and performance improvements. In 2022 release wave 1, we improve user experience by bridging the functional gaps between hourly and multiday views on the schedule board to improve dispatcher productivity.

Feature details

The new schedule board will be the default experience for new tenants. Existing tenants will still have the option to use the legacy schedule board.

Updates in this release include:

  • Usability and performance enhancements.
  • Bridged the gap between hourly view and daily view by showing more booking info and booking tooltips on the daily view.
  • Enabled dispatchers to work more productively by improving the full screen mode to show more resources and requirements. When bookings are created, dispatchers can continue working on the schedule board with no interruption.
  • Better Bing Maps integration on the Gantt and map views to better display clusters of requirements when the pins are close together.
  • Dispatchers can easily get driving directions with one click and see a resource's driving route.
  • Settings page usability improvements.
