Behind the scenes, the manager's experience is actually a Woodford project with the name "Manager". The Manager project has been designed to run in the web app, in your browser on a computer. However, you can also sync your other devices with this project. It runs best on larger devices. For more information, see Resco's Wiki: https://docs.resco.net/wiki/Manager%27s_experience.
Overview
The Manager dashboard includes: Calendar: View all technicians (with the Inspector role) appointments. You can choose to view all appointments, job appointments, my appointments, my completed appointments, and service appointments. The view display options include Agenda, Day, Week, or Month. Appointments are color-coded based on the appointment type (job, service, or technician activity). The filter for the calendar view is the Previous, Current, and Next month. Appointments cannot be created for technicians in the Inspection Manager.
