​
Overview

The Labor Schedule gives you a view of labor demand across all production tasks at your site locations. Use it to see which tasks need workers, identify unassigned time, and assign workers directly from the schedule. Navigate to Produce > Labor > Schedule to access it.

​
Views

The Labor Schedule has two view modes, toggled from the ribbon:

​
List View

Rows are grouped by date. Each row shows a task event type and block, with total planned hours and estimated cost. Use this view for a detailed, date-by-date look at labor needs.

​
Pivot View

Task event types and blocks form the rows, and dates become columns. Each cell shows the hours needed for that task on that date. A pinned TOTAL column on the right sums hours across all dates. Use this view to see capacity at a glance across a range of dates. Both views show a pinned TOTAL row at the bottom.

​
Selecting a Site Location

Before any data appears, select a site location from the dropdown at the top left of the ribbon. The schedule automatically selects the first available location when you open the page. Changing the site location immediately refreshes the schedule to show labor demand for that site.

​
Assigning Workers

You can assign workers to tasks from the list view.

​
Assign a single task

Click any row to open the task detail panel on the right. The panel shows the task name, hours, and current worker assignments. Click Assign Workers in the detail panel to open the assignment dialog.

​
Assign multiple tasks at once

  1. Select the rows you want to assign using the row checkboxes
  2. Click Assign Workers (N) in the ribbon — the button shows the count of selected rows
The assignment dialog shows:
  • A summary of the task (name, hours, number of entries)
  • Current worker assignments as removable chips — click × to remove an assignment
  • A search field to find and select workers by name or code
  • Workers who are already fully assigned appear greyed out
Clicking a worker in the search results assigns them immediately. Click Done to close the dialog without making additional changes.

​
Worker Availability Panel

Click the Details button in the ribbon when no rows are selected to open the Worker Availability panel. This panel shows every worker and their current assignments for the visible schedule period. Each worker card shows:
  • Their name and total assigned hours
  • A green border if they have no scheduling conflicts
  • A red border if they are double-booked on any date
Expand a worker card to see which dates have conflicts and which tasks overlap. Clicking a worker in the panel highlights their assigned rows in the schedule grid. All other rows dim so you can quickly see where that worker is needed. Click the worker again to deselect.
The Worker Availability panel is useful for spotting over-allocated workers before finalizing your schedule. Check for red borders before submitting.

​
Date Mode

The schedule supports two date groupings:
ModeDescription
DayEach column or group represents a single calendar day
WeekEach column or group represents a full ISO week (starting Monday)
Use week mode to plan across longer horizons; use day mode for detailed daily assignment work.

​
Best Practices

  • Start with the Pivot View to see overall labor demand across the coming weeks, then switch to List View for individual task assignments
  • Check the Worker Availability panel before finalizing assignments to catch any double-bookings
  • Use bulk selection when multiple tasks in the same time period need the same workers
