Hey Method,
We are using the 'New' Method and are very much in need of scheduling and dispatching capabilities. I'm aware that 'this is in the works', however it is something that we need now.
We are going to invest a couple of weeks work to develop our own app to do what we need at the moment. I realize that whatever we do won't be on the level of what you eventually develop in house and would likely use whatever Method develops in the future.
What I'd like to ask for is a little guidance, so that what we develop for ourselves will not be completely out of line with the future Method scheduling. So far, this is the structure we're planning:
- Create Work Orders (which are actually activities, with type-Work Order)
- Set status of work orders to Waiting List
- Have a dispatch screen for pending work orders
- Have another screen to view Waiting List work orders and be able to switch them to Pending
Can you please let us know if this is basically how scheduling will work in the future, and if not, is there any advise you can give on how you are planning this to work?
Thank you!
