Schedule
The Schedule page is your command center for planning and assigning work. Use drag-and-drop to schedule services and assign technicians.
Overview
The schedule view is split into two main areas:
- Left Column — Unscheduled services ready to be planned
- Right Column — A 14-day calendar showing scheduled work
Scheduling Services
Drag to Schedule
- Find an unscheduled service in the left column
- Drag it to a date slot on the right
- Drop to schedule it for that date
The service card shows:
- Service title or description
- Customer name
- Due date (for PM agreements)
- Estimated service time (based on components due)
Rescheduling
Already-scheduled services can be dragged between date slots to reschedule them. The new date is saved automatically.
Unscheduling
Drag a scheduled service back to the left column to unschedule it. This also removes any technician assignments.
Filtering
Filter the unscheduled services list to focus on what matters:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All Types | Both requests and agreements |
| Requests | Only service requests |
| Agreements | Only PM agreements |
| Overdue | Services past their due date |
| Due Soon | Services due within 7 days |
Click Clear to reset all filters.
Assigning Technicians
Once a service is scheduled, assign technicians:
- Click the Assign button (or technician names) on a scheduled service
- Check the technicians you want to assign
- Click Done
Multiple technicians can be assigned to the same service. Their names appear on the service card.
Estimated Service Time
Saite calculates estimated service time based on:
- Components due for service at each customer location
- Default service times for each component type (change, inspect, clean)
- The service's due date
This helps with capacity planning—you can see at a glance how long each job might take.
Date Slots
The calendar shows:
- Past dates with open services (highlighted in amber)
- Today (highlighted and labeled)
- Next 14 days of scheduling
Weekend days are subtly shaded to help identify business days.
Best Practices
- Schedule overdue work first — Clear the backlog before planning ahead
- Balance daily capacity — Watch estimated times to avoid overloading days
- Assign technicians promptly — Helps with route planning and accountability
- Use filters — Focus on due-soon work when planning the week
