# Day board

One column per zone, live, with a rail for the things that need attention.

The day board shows one column per zone, with the work booked into each, and updates live as things
change — you do not need to refresh it.

It needs the **open the day board** permission. Head Office, Project Supervisor and Subcontractor
Supervisor hold it; User does not. That makes it a shared view of the project rather than a management
one — a subcontractor supervisor sees the board for the zones their crews are booked into.

Whether subcontractor names appear on the cards is a separate permission, held by the same three
roles.

## The needs-attention rail

The rail collects the work that has a problem, so a supervisor sees it without reading every column:

- **Bumped** activities — approved over by another booking on the same exclusion zone.
- **Overdue** activities — either running past their window, or never started at all.

Both are rescued the same way: **Extend** the activity.

:::note
Bumped is not stored anywhere. It is worked out from the bookings that exist each time the board is
read, so the rail is always current and a cancelled booking clears itself from it.

## Live updates

The board streams updates to your browser as work is created, approved, started and ended. If a crew
supervisor books something in a zone you are watching, it appears without you doing anything.
