- Pressing <Esc> will save any changes.
 | If you want to access technician diaries when scheduling work also set the setting in the 'Links' section for Personnel Planning to 'Yes”'. |
New Jobs
When work is entered into the system it will not be automatically scheduled unless the user specifically allocates the job to a specific date and or technician.
