Tips for Efficient Use

  1. Use the site selector to focus on one location at a time — this filters projects, staff, and equipment to the relevant site
  2. Zoom to fit — Use Quarter (Q) or Year (Y) view for high-level overview, then Week (W) for detailed scheduling
  3. Custom columns are great for tracking metadata like priority, budget codes, or risk levels
  4. Import ICS files to quickly load team vacations from Outlook — much faster than manual entry
  5. What-If mode is invaluable for planning ahead — experiment with allocations without disrupting the live schedule
  6. Check online users to see who else is viewing the same data — helps coordinate real-time changes
