The options for viewing and calculating capacities for the entire installation depot are set with these options. 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.

Each day of the week, 100% of crew capacities can be shown as available on the Schedule New Jobs calendar, or the days of the week can be adjusted individually.  By default, manually entered depot capacity will show for each day of the week, or crew capacities will be added up for depot totals based on their daily quantity limit and the days of the week that they work. 

For example, if  Schedule Pro is calculating capacities, and capacities are displayed by crew, for 10 carpet providers, each of whom can install 100 SY per day, and half of them work Saturday, at 100%, the Schedule New Jobs calendar will show 10 Crews on Thursday, 10 Crews on Friday, and 5 Crews on Saturday.  If it is known that some providers will no-show on Friday, it can be adjusted down to 75% so that it will show 10 Crews on Thursday, 7.5 Crews on Friday, and 5 Crews on Saturday. 

This can be used to set all days down to 95% to give a cushion against overbooking.  This may be adjusted over time as Schedule Pro becomes more familiar.

If all crews are set to have Sunday off, these don’t need to be adjusted down at all, as there will be no depot capacity on Sunday.

After adjusting these settings, go to Schedule Pro>Utilities>Maintenance>Reset Depot & Crew Capacities.

 

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.
