Working with Crews

A crew is a group of resources who operate as a team. This means that rather than scheduling each resource individually, you can save time by scheduling tasks, overheads (e.g. public holidays) or ad hoc events (e.g. meetings) to a crew.

Your crew can include assets, such as a piece of equipment or a vehicle.  

1. Click the Resources menu
2. Click Crews > Add Crew to open the Create New Crew window.
3. Enter a Crew Name and click Add User or Add Asset to open the Search Users or Search Assets windows.
4. Select the users or assets you want by clicking their names. Click X to close the Search window when you're done. You can add as many resources or assets as you like.
5. Click Save.

You can add or remove users or assets as you need to.

1. From the Resources menu>click Crews.
   
2. Tick the crew you want to edit and click Edit Crew.
3. Add or remove users or assets and click Save.

Once you've created a crew, you can have it appear on your calendar view.

1. Click the Resources menu  > Crews

2. Click the crew you want and click X to close the Search Crews window.

    Who/what's in a crew?

   Click the  (plus) button beside a crew name to see which users and assets are included in a crew.

   

3. Click Save.

From the Resources menu , click the red cross  beside the name of each crew you want to remove.

To remove multiple crews, click Crews and untick each crew you want to remove.

Press Done or Save.

Once you've got your crews set up, you can schedule tasks, overheads or ad hoc events to them just as you would to an individual resource or asset. The only difference is that when selecting a resource, you click Crews instead of users.

Refer to Schedule an Event for instructions.

Events scheduled to a crew will display on the calendar for that crew but also for users or assets which form that crew. Calendar schedules as part of a crew will contain a header label of 'Crew: (crew name)'.
