Today's TimeTable



The Command Center Dashboard

The Command Center Dashboard contains a grouping of Today's Activity widgets (and another of Tomorrow's Activity widgets).  This gives you a very quick and easy way to see the most immediate and important things that need to be done at the start of your day.  The idea is to consult the 'Today' widget in the morning to help prepare for the day ahead.  There is also a 'Tomorrow' widget that is handy for you to consult at the end of the day, to help prepare you for the day to come.

The following snapshot illustrates the collection of Today's Activity widgets.

The Today Activity Widgets

There are 6 widgets, 4 tools, and 2 status indicators.

Status Indicators

The status indicators have a label, a green circular badge, and a next icon.  The following is an example of the 'Jobs' indicator.

It provides a quick status about the jobs scheduled for Today.  This one shows there are 9 jobs, with expected revenue of $3,890.61.  Click on the next icon to see additional status - the total hours of work booked for the day and a breakdown of hours booked per worker.

The 'Reminders' indicator is illustrated below.  This one shows that there are 5 reminders due today.  One of the Reminders is a Customer Action Item.  Click on the next icon to see how many of the other types of reminders are due today.
