Help & Guides - Ordering
While most of the basic workflow and settings help guides are up ( would appreciate feedback as they are a bit limiting as to what we can say and do) on https://prod.jobflow.nz/#/help the order and links are putz (=not good) and the team are looking at this now :)
Queue Tab
Hi Wendy, the Queue tab is a great tool. Would it be possible to sort the resources in to the same three categories we have in the scheduler?
Can there be a place were we are able to see all the workers on one list instead of individually so we are able to check what everyone is doing on any given day?
Dashboard - ideas/additions...
Jeremy R has requested: If possible on the Dashboard, a special screen on the right hand side of any updated entry’s, for example date/time/username & any bookings loaded or completed or changed, any comments added to customer tab etc. This way when we log in we can see the latest entries of what’s been loaded in or updated.
What are your ideas for dashboard improvements?
How do we tell if a job is on the calendar already?
In the schedule tab on the left hand side “scheduled jobs” jobs are differentiated so you know it has been transferred onto the calendar by a subtle (perhaps too subtle!) border colour. For example:
a booked job will show in the left hand pane with a grey border, this is not currently confirmed on the calendar/scheduled:
as you move this job on to the calendar the border changes to blue, it is waiting for you to confirm it.
a confirmed job ( that is on track) will show in the left hand pane with a green border
a confirmed job that is overdue/or not fully completed by due date is in the left hand pane with a red border
eg.
Tasks - group with products/materials, comments and record more specific information.
We will need to review all job card types for mobile view (other than single) which are currently associated with a task to record more specific detail eg. cartage how many loads, weight and description of load.
In the meantime you can add multiple tasks eg load 1 where the "size" is the actual confirmed weight, or by adding "load" as a stock or service item so it can be selected by the operator and the qty entered is another approach - and if all else fails have your team add the load information into Job Comments so it is recorded.
This may be reviewed in conjunction with products/materials and comments that need to be grouped with a task and is a future step for mobile view.
Is there any way of getting the Baling and Wrapping together on one job card when we use the Baler /Wrapper (one unit)
Thanks Dionne for raising this one - Is there any way of getting the Baling and Wrapping together on one job sheet when we use the Baler /Wrapper (one unit)?
In the future we expect you would be able to do this by loading one task (one task = one job sheet) and to be able to add multiple implements. For now if you use two implements load them as one resource ie. Baler/Wrapper and this will be able to be assigned against a task. The only downside to this is in your resources view or for your utilisation reports you now have the combined resource and the two individual resources that could all have allocations against them (eg. if baler/wrapper is scheduled the "baler" component if loaded as a separate resource will still look like it is available.)
Job Cards- when printing multiple job cards the top overlaps.
When printing multiple job cards (ok on single or one by one) the top overlaps making the header information unreadible. [First reported by Rachel @ Jacksons]
this appears to have righted itself - let me know if you still have this problem.
Site address not displaying map
Thanks Dionne for raising this query :) The address has been loaded against the site location but no map displays (or one of a pin in the sea!). How do I get the map to display?
Hi Dionne, this occurs when google maps cant find the address as you have loaded it. Go to https://www.google.co.nz/maps and enter the address there, google will often provide alternative spellings or the area you are looking at and you can refine the address from there.
..
Enter the address (if its the correct one) as it is listed in google - in this case 617 Maungarangi Rd, Paengaroa, 3189.
If it is still not correct find the address on google, drop a pin on the map and save the image as a .png or .jpg and upload this as a custom map.
Job Cards / Job Sheets Printed Templates - need review
A number of customers have raised the improvements for the printed Job Cards/ Job Sheets like:
- can the print be darker, the grey is hard to read?
- can these be edited?
- can the task show as prominent as the Job Type at the top?
- can the information the worker/operator sees and fills in include eg. no of bales, qty of wrap or cover, as well as the hectares and hours (be great if this could be linked to /grouped with a task, so only relevant product and qty's required are displayed on a task by task basis)?
-can we "hide" the fields we dont use so as to not clutter up the Job Card / Job Sheet?
-can we have our logo on this?
-can information be better organised on the sheet?
