Tasks and Scheduling

We Took Tasks & Scheduling to the Next Level!

Scheduling just got easier with new updates designed to help you stay on track. You now have the power of drag and drop functionality in the tasks and scheduling tool to keep your job timeline updated with just a few clicks.

New updates were just released that now allow you to:

1

Set start and end dates while tracking your overall job progress.

See the entirety of your job laid out in a Gantt chart, equipped with progress bars that show percentage completion of task groups and your total job progression.

2

Clone schedules from job templates or from your budget.

Easily convert the cost groups and line items from your budget into tasks with a few clicks, which will allow you to build out your schedule in minutes. Do your jobs have similar schedules? Easily clone another job to copy the schedule as well as task durations and dependancies to a new job!

3

Use one-click to schedule tasks directly in the Gantt chart and drag to adjust their duration.

Save time selecting task dates by clicking to select a date directly on the Gantt chart. Click and drag a task to quickly adjust its’ duration to breeze through the scheduling process.

4

Create task dependencies and predecessors.

Do you have tasks that need to be completed before others (i.e. demolition before rough framing)? You now have the ability to set dependencies & predecessors within your schedule. Link items in the order of necessary completion.

5

Easily shift your entire schedule, groups of tasks, or individual tasks.

Easily adjust every aspect of your jobs’ schedule to keep your project timeline up to date. Run into an obstacle and need to change course? Simply select and drag your entire job schedule, task groups, or individual tasks to the new date. All your durations and dependencies are maintained!

6

View tasks assigned to you or other team members across all jobs.

Know exactly what is scheduled for each day by viewing tasks across your company in a list or calendar view. See your schedule, what’s assigned to other members of your team, and very soon - your vendors! Sync your tasks to your personal calendar on Google, Apple, Outlook, and others.

7

Display the job schedule on the Customer and Vendor Portals.

Increase communication and keep everyone on the same page. Choose whether to display an overview of the job schedule or a detailed schedule with the task list on the Customer and Vendor portals.

8

Assign tasks to Customers and Vendors.

Have tasks that you need external users to complete? Tasks assigned to customers and vendors will appear on their portal with the ability to check them off when complete.

View Organization-wide Schedules and Task Assignments

View schedules across all jobs on an organization-wide Gantt chart. Also view tasks across all assignees for employee scheduling and resource planning.

In the coming weeks, we look forward to releasing even more scheduling updates including the power to:

  • View Critical Path on Gantt Chart
  • Email notifications for assigned and updated tasks
  • Mass update tasks, including assignments, adjusting task duration, and deleting
