Scheduling tests for the L8MS BRS Mobile app
In L8MS BRS the intended monitoring and inspection tasks are planned on a site 52-week planner. If these tests are to be completed by an individual using our L8MS BRS Mobile app then the tasks must be scheduled and allocated to that individual. There are various scheduling tools to aid administrators in task scheduling including a calendar and a timeline view, the calendar is typically populated using the Jobs List tool.Viewing allocated tasks using the Calendar
L8MS BRS calendar can be used to display a selection of allocated tasks by Month, Week, Day or as a list. The calendar can be sub-filtered to show service visits by user type (e.g. service engineers) or an individual user.
NOTE - Trying to view the scheduled service visits of a large number of engineers in monthly view tends to be visually less clear than using the timeline view. (See Timeline service visits to the left).
- From the main left sidebar menu select ADMINISTRATION~WORKS SCHEDULE~CALENDAR.
- Click the alter filter button to open the Filter Timeline window. Select the type of user from the list and if required add part of a specific users name to the Filter Name box to display allocated service visits for that user, user type. Click the close button and then click the Reload button.
