The calendar view
A month grid where every repair is drawn from its take-in day to its due day, coloured by status.
The Calendar tab in Repairs shows a month at a time. Each repair is a bar running from the day it was taken in to the day it is due back — the estimated pickup date on the ticket — so you can see what the week is already carrying before you promise anyone a turnaround.
Reading the grid
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| A bar across several days | A job with a due date — it starts on the take-in day and ends on the due day |
| A single-day chip with a dashed edge | A job with no due date set. It sits on its take-in day because there is nothing to run to |
| The bar colour | The ticket's status — Received, Diagnosing, In progress, Waiting parts or Ready. The legend for them sits in the toolbar above the grid |
| +N more on a week | That week has more jobs than the four rows it draws by default. Click it and the week grows to fit the rest |
What it does not show
This is a calendar of whole days. There are no hours, no time slots and nothing to drag — a bar cannot be stretched or moved to change a due date. Dates are edited on the ticket itself. Appointments customers book with you are a different thing entirely and live in the booking diary.
Cancelled tickets are left out. Everything else appears, including collected and paid jobs whose span crosses the month you are looking at.
Getting around
Move between months with the arrows in the toolbar, and Today jumps back to the current one. Hovering a bar shows the device, the customer and the assigned technician; clicking it opens the ticket. Days are worked out in your company's timezone rather than the timezone of the device you happen to be looking at it on, so a shop in one state and a laptop in another see the same job on the same day.
The tab has its own address — going straight to it, or using the browser back and forward buttons after switching tabs, both work.
