Capacity Planning & Run Sheets
Capacity Planning helps you answer a practical question:
"Which centres are overloaded or underused this week?"
Where to click: Workshop -> Planning -> Capacity.
Workshop keeps Today, Triage, Planning, and Dispatch as the primary operational tabs. Use the separate List button when you want to find or update tasks across dates.
From Job Management, the Schedule tasks panel includes a placement preview before Cabneo auto-places draft Labour Estimate tasks onto capacity.
How capacity is calculated
Capacity includes tasks that have:
- a scheduled day
- an estimated duration
Completed and cancelled tasks do not count toward capacity.
Unscheduled work appears as Unscheduled Demand, not in day bars/heatmap. If tasks are missing workstation/centre mapping, that demand is shown as unmapped so setup gaps are visible.
Run sheets explain the numbers
When you open a specific centre/day, Today (Run Sheet) shows:
- tasks planned for that centre/day
- grouped by job
- with per-job hour subtotals
Run sheet rows remain scheduled-only execution truth. You may see an unscheduled-demand hint in the header for context, but unscheduled tasks are not mixed into the run-sheet body.
The header shows scheduled / capacity (for example 12.5h / 16h). The capacity figure is the centre's daily total — for example two crew members each working 8 productive hours gives 16h/day. Admins can click the capacity number to jump directly to the centre's capacity setting.
Triage keeps the schedule honest
Triage is the inbox for work that needs a date decision, typically:
- unscheduled work (no date yet)
- slipped work (scheduled in the past, still not done)
Use Triage to re-date work quickly so Capacity Planning and Run Sheets remain reliable.
When a job is rescheduled
When you reschedule a job (move its target/install date), Cabneo shifts eligible tasks by the same number of working days. Capacity updates automatically — if the new dates push a centre over capacity, you'll see it reflected immediately in the day bars and status labels. Use the reschedule preview to check for overload before confirming.
