Frequently Asked Questions

• Can we modify schedules from the mobile app?

  Yes, appointments can be modified from Plannit's mobile app with the appropriate access settings. In order for this work, the user needs permission to create visits.

• What can be colour-coded in the calendar?

  Choose colours to identify employees and/or services. Color codes help to quickly visualize availability and dispatch jobs efficiently. You can also add custom colours.

• How can I handle schedule changes or urgent requests?

  The drag-and-drop calendar makes it easy to shuffle team schedules so you can fit in all of that unexpected work.

  With the Routing and GPS feature, you can locate teams in real time and dispatch urgent jobs to the nearest team member.

• I use Google Calendar - what's the difference?

  Plannit gives you the exact same features as Google Calendar, plus the ability to view and manage your team's schedule, all within the same calendar view.

  Because Plannit also hosts your list of customers, jobs, contracts, and routes, using the calendar in Plannit makes it easier and faster to schedule and dispatch work.

• Can I schedule a job over several days?

  Yes, absolutely. Simply drag the appointment across all of the days that you want to book the appointment for. 

• What are my subscription options?

  The scheduling and dispatching features are available on the Pro, Premium and Premium+ plans.

• Can I schedule personal events in my calendar?

  Yes, you may block off time in your calendar for personal events. 

  Other users can only see your calendar if they are given permission to view other users' schedules. You can manage access rights to every part of the app within the Settings tab.

• What is the best job scheduling software?

  There are many job scheduling apps on the market, and your business requirements and operations need to be taken into account to determine the best one for your field service business. 

  If job scheduling is the only issue you are looking to solve, a specialized app may be best. Niche apps tend to be built for larger businesses and more expensive than purpose-built all-in-one apps for small to medium sized service companies. 

  Sites like Capterra or Software Advice can help you compare features and get demos, and pricing to make an informed decision.

• Which tool can be used for job scheduling?

  Plannit offers job scheduling software that can be used to schedule jobs and dispatch work in a team calendar, and/or the integrated route planning software.
