Day board

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 day board: one column per zone, with a needs-attention rail for bumped and overdue work.

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.
