V23 Workshop Loading Improvements

A number of improvements have been made to Workshop Loading in DragonDMS, listed below a details of these changes.

Unallocated Jobs

All bookings created in DragonDMS will now show on Workshop loading, jobs that have not yet been allocated to a bay will show on the left of the Workshop loading screen in the Unallocated column.

Dragging jobs into bays

Jobs can be dragged and dropped from bay to bay, or from unallocated to a bay. Adding jobs to a bay will update the hours remaining for the bay. The hours available for the bay is colour coded from green to orange to red.

Colour Coding Jobs

Jobs are now colour coded based on the service status of the job. Service statuses will automatically update when you receive in a booking, clock onto and off a job, complete all the labour lines on the jobs and when the job has been invoiced.

You can edit the colours assigned to the service statues in Settings > Service >Settings > Statuses.

Creating bookings

New bookings can be created directly in Workshop Loading.

Technician Events

All events (holidays etc) now show on Workshop Loading, and the hours will be deducted from the bay available hours.

Job Icons

Icons have been added to jobs that have been marked as Collection & Delivery or Customer Waiting to make this visible on Workshop Loading.

Splitting jobs across bays

For jobs that require different resources there is now a tool to split the job hours across multiple bays. Right click on the jobs and select Split, then enter the hours required for each split, both splits of the job will then show in the original bay, each split can be dragged to a different bay.
