Step 3: Assign a crew to a job

On Schedule:

MethodSteps
Drag and dropDrag a job from the unscheduled sidebar onto a crew lane and time
Schedule Crew buttonSchedule Crew → Schedule Job → pick job and crew
From jobs listJobs → row Schedule → opens Schedule for that job

The scheduling modal pre-selects the crew when you drop onto a specific lane.


One crew per day (multi-day jobs)

Long installs can span multiple days. Each day can assign a different crew — useful when a specialized crew handles gates on day two.

Configure days in the unified scheduling modal.


No crews warning

If zero crews exist, Schedule shows No Crews Set Up when you click Schedule Crew. Use Go to Settings to jump directly to the Crews tab.


Crew Portal visibility

Crew members only see schedule events for their assigned crew. Assign on the calendar before they open the Crew Portal.


Quick edit from calendar

Click a crew label on the calendar to edit name, members, or color in place. Changes refresh events immediately.
