C. "Planning" Mode
The "Planning" mode allows you to perform your task management by day, week or month in a calendar in the form of a bar graph (Gantt chart).
In the left window, "Tasks to Schedule," you can view the tasks that need to be scheduled.
In the middle window "Planning," you can see the human resources that are linked to your account and to the right of the schedule a calendar that displays tasks by day, week or month.

2. Drag and drop the task into the calendar at the time and human resource chosen.
When the task is assigned to a human resource, it is simply "Assigned."
In other words, it has not yet been sent to the human resource's mobile device.
There are two ways to "Dispatch" the task on the human resource's mobile device.
Option 1: Click on the phone next to the human resource to dispatch all tasks that have been "Assigned" to this resource.
Option 2: At the top of the calendar, click on "Dispatch All Tasks." This will dispatch all the tasks you have assigned to your various human resources.

This is where the calendar display is selected (day, week, or month).
By clicking on "Options," you will have the choice of setting more details (hours, beginning of the week, etc.).
The above functionality is also available for equipment (e.g assigning equipment to a task).
To view your equipment, instead of your human resources, click on "Type: Human Resource" and choose "Equipment" instead.
You will then be able to plan or view the use of your equipment on the calendar.
The configuration of the equipment calendar is the same as that of human resources.
D. "Scheduled Tasks" Mode
The "Scheduled Task" is used to automate the creation of tasks on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
When you click on "Create schedule," a window for creating a "Schedule" will open.
Here, you can enter the desired information to create future tasks.
Important : Saving or modifying an existing recurrence could result in the creation of duplicate tasks.
To avoid this situation, it is important to select tasks in the "Future tasks to cancel upon schedule change" window before saving this recurrence. This action will remove existing tasks related to this recurrence, which will avoid creating duplicate tasks.
