How to schedule tickets
You can either use the Scheduling Assistant to schedule tickets or drag and drop a ticket directly from the Ticket Pool onto the Timeline.
Tickets can be scheduled from the Ticket Pool (Dispatch tab), Timeline, Map, and Ticket Details.
Scheduling tickets will not work from the General, Predefined or Expert tab.
Manual Scheduling:
If you decide to drag & drop a ticket from the Ticket Pool onto the Timeline, you will see if the appointment fits with the help of the colors indicated in the Timeline (think of it as a traffic light for tickets).Tickets that are dragged & dropped to the Timeline are automatically locked and will not be organized by the Optimizer.
Assisted Scheduling:
In case you schedule tickets with the Scheduling Assistant, the Assistant will open if you click on Schedule ticket
in the Ticket Pool, Timeline, Map, and Ticket Details.

The system also checks if the placed ticket is close to an engineer’s end shift.
