Calendar (Service visits)

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).
