Functionally, it displays the allotment of tasks to each resource (Crew) added to the Order, displayed in a calendar format. You can open multiple orders at a time.

  • By default, when the user opens the order, the Grouping is based on the Order ID. To change it to Order description, please contact Support.

  • The Expand/Collapse works of the order description if it is grouped.

  • When the grouping is made for any of the column (Order ID/Order Description/Positions), the count of the booking lines grouped displays in prefixed manner as per the new enhancement instead of suffixed which was the previous functionality. This is applicable for all the three columns i.e. Order ID/Order Description/Positions.
