Before you start
- Everyone who can see projects can open Dispatch. Moving work and sending schedules needs a role that can manage all projects.
Read the board
- Open Dispatch. Each team member has a row, and work without a person waits in Unassigned.
- Switch between Timeline and Daily, and use Show map to see the jobs on a map.
- Use Layers to show Project schedules or Events & to-dos.
- Open Unscheduled to find work that doesn’t have a time yet.
Move or reassign work
- Drag a job to another time, or onto another person’s row.
- Check the person, time and date in the confirmation, then select Apply change.
You can’t drop work on someone who has approved time off then. Outside their usual hours, Garrison only warns you.
Send someone their schedule
- Switch to Daily and find the person’s row.
- Select the send button on their row (Send schedule). On a computer, it appears when you point at the row.
- Confirm, and Garrison emails them their jobs for the day you’re viewing.
A schedule isn’t sent to someone without an email address, or who has approved time off that day.
Good to know
- Change the dates of a multi-day project, or its extra team members, on the project itself.
- The usual working hours behind those warnings are set by people who manage your team.
