Calendar Views: Day, Week, Month

The Pro TeamX dispatch grid gives dispatchers complete control over operational flow. The Day view displays workers on individual columns so you can spot gaps between appointments.

The Week view provides a broad overview of team workload, while the Month view is ideal for long-range commercial contracts.

Draft vs. Published Shifts

When you create or adjust shifts, they enter a DRAFT state marked with a hatched border. Field workers cannot see draft shifts on their mobile devices until you are ready.

Once the week schedule is confirmed, click "Publish Shifts" in the top bar. All assigned workers will receive an instant push notification with their confirmed schedule.

Publishing alerts only notify workers whose shifts have changed, keeping notification noise to a minimum.

Conflict Detection & Warnings

Pro TeamX warns you immediately if an assigned worker is already booked on another job, has approved time off, or exceeds their maximum weekly hours.
