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
- 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.
- Ensure the “Scheduled Service Time” (
