Managing assignments

You assign work to labor and crews at your organization based on their skills and availability. In the Graphical Assignment application, you view upcoming work and assign the work graphically to the appropriate labor or crew resource, and respond to dynamic work situations.

On the Work List tab, you can create a list of scheduled work orders and available labor and crews, and apply a street level route.

In the Gantt view, you can see unassigned work, and the resources available to do the work. You can see the daily availability of your crews and technicians, including shifts and breaks, and exceptions like sick leave and vacation time. You can also see current assignments, and balance the workload as necessary. You can reassign work, or split work between resources or across shifts.

The Gantt view also shows you work details, such as location, assets, and priority. You can also access resource details, such as skill, rate, and work location. You can also modify work details, such as status, work priority, and target start and end dates.

In the Dispatch view, you can see work and work routes in maps and calendars. These tools also provide a graphical view of the requirements, availability, and work assignments of labor and crews. You can use these tools to view detailed information about labor and crews to monitor their work progress more precisely in the short term, such as during a work shift.

In the Dispatch view, you can do the following tasks to respond more effectively to dynamic work situations:

All assignment information can be saved to the appropriate work records in the Maximo® database.
