Using the Assignment Calendar

Overview

The Assignment Calendar provides a visual timeline of where your assets have been assigned over time. Use it to track project assignments, identify scheduling conflicts, and plan future deployments.

Accessing the Assignment Calendar

Step 1: Navigate to DIRECTORY → Assets.

Step 2: Click on any asset to open its detail panel.

Step 3: Select the "Assignment Calendar" tab.

Reading the Calendar View

The calendar displays:

• Project assignments - Color-coded bars showing which project the asset was assigned to
• Date ranges - Start and end dates for each assignment
• Assignment gaps - Periods when the asset wasn't assigned anywhere

Navigating Time Periods

Use the calendar controls to:

• Scroll left/right to view past or future assignments
• Change the time scale (week, month, quarter)
• Jump to specific dates

Identifying Conflicts

The calendar helps identify:

• Overlapping assignments (asset scheduled at two places)
• Underutilized periods (long gaps between assignments)
• Upcoming availability windows

Tips

• Compare multiple assets' calendars when planning dispatches
• Use the calendar to verify an asset is available before creating a new dispatch
• Historical assignments help understand equipment utilization patterns
