Basic Setup

What you'll set up

  • Centres and workstation mapping
  • Optional crew and kiosk access
  • Your first jobs and scheduling decisions
  • Daily owner views (Dashboard plus Workshop Today, Triage, Planning, and List)

Step 1: Review starter centres and mapping

Where to click: Settings -> Centres.

New business accounts start with three editable centres and mapped workstations:

  • Cutting Shed -> Cutting workstation
  • Assembly Bench -> Assembly workstation
  • Install Crew -> Install workstation

Rename and adjust these to match how your shop runs.

Where to click: Settings -> Crew Members and Settings -> Kiosk Access.

You can start without crew attribution, then add it when you're ready.

Step 3: Create your first jobs

Where to click: Jobs -> Create Job.

Use Create Job to enter a target date and rough labour totals, then click Save job.

From Job Management, you can then:

  • use Schedule tasks (optional auto-schedule from a not-before date), or
  • keep manual control and place tasks later in Centre Schedule

Step 4: Check daily execution views

Where to click: Dashboard, then in Workshop use Planning -> Capacity, Today (Run Sheet), and Planning -> Centre Schedule. Use the separate List button when you need to find or update a task.

Confirm the owner view is clear first, then drill into planning and execution detail.
