This feature is only available if the "View Installation Depot Capacities by" option is set to "Number of Crews Available":

Automatically Calculate based on Line Quantities (Recommended Setting)

This choice sets the Schedule Pro to deduct capacities from a provider’s day and from depot capacities for that day based on the line quantities (those that are checked to be deduct capacity lines – See Job Types and Schedule New Jobs.)  This is recommended because it allows taking advantage of the dynamic features of Schedule Pro that reduce capacities based on various different job types and unit of measure for a single job if it is set that way.  Also, it allows taking advantage of warnings that are built in to prevent overbooking a person or a depot.  Most users are scheduling using this setting.

Manually Enter Number of Crews to Deduct

If this option is chosen, a box appears when scheduling or editing job, in which the number of crews to deduct for a job for a certain day can be entered.   

In this box, the number of days times the number of crews can be added when a job is scheduled, and it will reduce the capacities of the crews chosen and the depot accordingly.  It bypasses the usual deduct capacity methods used in Schedule Pro and puts the direct control of the days in the hands of the scheduler, but it also bypasses some of the safeguards against over-scheduling.

The Capacity Settings Options determine how installation depot capacities are viewed  and calculated. The capacities for each crew will be set in the crew set up.  Capacities are the totals of materials or jobs which can be completed in a day.
