How to schedule a job in Flowody

After a quote is accepted, use the job's Scheduling & Labour page to assign your team and put the work on the calendar. You can assign several employees and create as many time blocks as the job needs across different days.

  1. Open Scheduling & Labour

    Open the accepted job and select Scheduling & Labour under Work & Documents in the left sidebar. Before anything is booked, the Scheduling tab is empty and Assign and Schedule remain unavailable until you select a team member.

    Empty Flowody Scheduling and Labour page before any employee or time block has been scheduled.
  2. Choose a team member

    Open Filter by User or Group and select the employee you want to book. In this example, Ava Nguyen is selected. Select Assign to add that person without choosing a time, or select Schedule to assign them and open the calendar for a specific date and time.

  3. Choose the date and start time

    After selecting Schedule, use the calendar date controls and Day, Week or Month views to find the required day. In Day view, select a time slot in the employee's row to create the first one-hour block.

  4. Add more staff or time blocks

    Return to Scheduling & Labour and repeat the employee selection and Schedule actions for every additional team member. Repeat the process on other dates to split the job across multiple days; Flowody keeps every employee and time block grouped under the same job.

  5. Adjust the start and end time

    Move the pointer over the scheduled job block, then drag its left edge to change the start time or its right edge to change the end time. Flowody snaps the resized event to 15-minute intervals and saves the new duration automatically.

    Select the event to review its date, time, duration, customer, site, notes, assigned staff and status. Select Edit event to make changes and Save changes when finished, or select View Job to open the full job record.
