How to Use the Schedule Dashboard - LOU® - Powered by Evosus

 

Whether you’re a Service Manager or a Service Tech, the Schedule Dashboard is an important part of your day. This is where you can see an overview of the tasks scheduled.

The Schedule Dashboard is an overview of everything scheduled in Service. You can create tasks through this feature, but the primary function is to get a view of service tasks and progress, as well as the schedule.

IMPORTANT! The only users who can view Tasks on the Schedule are those users who have access to the Service Bundle and who are listed as Primary Personnel in the Schedule Division to which the Task has been assigned. If you click on a Calendar without being a member of the Division, you will see an empty calendar.

You can also jump straight to the Schedule Search section below to find out how you can quickly and easily run through several important service-related processes.

Hey there, are you just looking for details about the Calendar?! Head over to How to Access the Calendar for all that info!
