Reset Depot and Crew Capacities

This menu item triggers a routine that refreshes job types, crews, and capacities throughout the program.  So much of the program is built on data that is user defined that if a job type or crew or crew capacity is added or edited, it’s a good idea to click this button to make sure those changes are reflected in the Schedule New Jobs screen and all throughout the program.  This can take a few minutes, depending on the amount of data in Schedule Pro and on hardware speed.

There will be three confirmation messages, click ok on each of these. There could be several minutes between the updating capacities message and the reset successful message.

Purge Completed Jobs

This menu item allows for a periodic purge of jobs from Schedule Pro.  Most users prefer to leave a backlog of jobs in the system for at least a year to have the ability to run long-term tracking and performance reports and to trace back through the service history of a job.  However, after a few years, it is possible to purge some of the older jobs.  Pick the most recent date to keep, and click the button to purge all jobs that were scheduled BEFORE that date.

This is the place to purge old jobs from schedule pro.  If the System Settings screen has not been password protected, RFMS recommends the PURGE SCHEDULED JOBS button  should be protected.

Scheduled Jobs Must Be Completed Prior To 

Choose a date in this field and click the PURGE SCHEDULED JOBS button to remove all (job costed) jobs that fall before (not including) that date.
