Gantt Chart Dispatch


1. Gantt Chart Dispatching Settings

1.1 Assigning Engineers Only via Gantt Chart

Use Case:
When dispatchers need to assign only engineers via the Gantt Chart and want engineers to perform on-site services according to the customer’s scheduled time.

Configuration Highlights:
1. Work Order Time Arrangement:
- Select “Auto-match” for the planned service time. The system will automatically match the plan_time_range__c (planned service time) with the booking_time_range__c (scheduled service time). By default, the system sets:
- Scheduled start time = Planned start time
- Scheduled end time = Planned end time

  1. Mandatory Field for Work Orders:
    • Ensure the “Scheduled Service Time” (booking_time_range__c) field is set as mandatory for the Work Order object.
    • For enterprises using legacy fields, set the “Scheduled Time” (field_fwrq__c) as mandatory instead.

1.2 Assigning Engineers and Scheduling Service Time via Gantt Chart

Use Case:
When dispatchers need to manually assign engineers and schedule the plan_time_range__c (planned service time).

Configuration Highlights:
1. Work Order Time Arrangement:
- Select “Manual Drag” for the planned service time. Dispatchers can manually drag to assign engineers and set the plan_time_range__c (planned start and end times).

Navigation:
Dispatchers or service group dispatchers can assign Work Orders via the Service Connector > Web > “Work Order Assignment” > Gantt Chart Mode. The system will populate the plan_time_range__c field based on the manually dragged time range.

      • Actual End Time: actual_end_time__c
    • These fields enable Gantt Chart comparisons between planned and actual service times.
