Quick Search

The Quick Search buttons allow you to search specific time periods such as Today, Tomorrow, Wednesday, This Week, Next Week, 2 Weeks Out and 3 Weeks Out. Just click one of these buttons and the scheduled tasks for that time frame will appear.

• The days of the week located below the Quick Search can also be used to filter down to a specific day in the time period you selected.

• Days shown in red indicate that scheduling is unavailable for that day. This might be due to qualified tech unavailability, the service department is closed, or a blackout day (a holiday or a meeting day). Days in blue indicate that scheduling is possible on that day.

What do you want to do?

• Add Task: Click Add Task to add a manual task to the schedule. This task will NOT be assigned to a specific customer and is generally used for scheduled warehouse shipments or Inter Company Transfers.

Search
The search button allows you to search for available time slots based on certain filters such as Task, Quadrant and Problem. This screen is for informational purposes; it WILL NOT schedule a task. 

• Push Pin: Click the pushpin icon to route the selected tasks for a day. If you have multiple techs selected when using this feature, then Evosus will plot each task on the schedule with a different numbered icon for each tech. This allows you to analyze the schedule and see where each tech is going that day.
