New Feature: Crew Size

Say you run a landscaping business. Certain jobs, like mowing a lawn, can be done by one person, but sometimes you have those tough jobs that need more manpower, like chopping down a tree. That’s why ScheduleThing has implemented a “Crew Size” feature which allows you to define the number of employees or resources needed for a particular job.

To implement this feature in the automated scheduling system, go to “Reservation Types,” then “Requirements” at the bottom of the page. You must have at least one resource available to complete a job, but say you want three employees available to chop down this tree. Click “Require individual resources,” and add each employee that needs to be available for the job. After you save this, those specific employees (resources) must all be available for a reservation to be booked.
