From the Business plan
Construction crew scheduling: assign directly on the grid, week by week
The week-by-week crew board where you assign directly: one click on a cell, the employee, the job site, the dates, and the work order if you want it. Time off, clock-ins and work orders sit on the same grid, and conflicts are flagged without ever deciding for you.
Read-only in every plan; assigning, changing, removing and creating work orders from the grid from the Business plan.
What the module does
- Assign directly on the grid: one click on a cell, then the employee — available people first —, the job site, from… to…, full day or half day, a phase and a note if needed. An assignment is changed or removed the same way, with “Undo” after a removal.
- The work order in the same step: check “Also create a work order” and write what to do. It is numbered, assigned to the person, due on the last day of the assignment and tracked in the Job sites module.
- A worker who has an account is notified in the field app — job site, dates, work order and note —, and again if the assignment changes or is removed.
- One colour per job site; approved time off, clock-ins, work orders, phase tasks and subcontractors on the same grid, by week or by month, by employee or by job site.
- Conflicts flagged, never blocked: overlapping time off, the same person expected on two job sites, an expired competency card, a closed job site, an employee who left. You keep the decision.
- Journeyperson / apprentice ratio (CCQ) adjustable, checked at assignment — and an apprentice scheduled with no journeyperson of their trade on the job site is flagged.
- Planned versus done: assignments without a clock-in and unplanned clock-ins stand out, and workers with no assignment this week show at a glance.
- The week prints to PDF, to post in the job-site trailer.

Who it’s for
Frequently asked questions
Can I create the work order from the schedule?
Yes: in the assignment window, check “Also create a work order” and describe the task. It's the same work order as in the Job sites module — numbered, assigned, with its status and hours —, and the assignment shows its number.
What happens when two assignments overlap?
The conflict is flagged in the window before you save, then on the grid — highlighted, with the detail —, but never blocked: a crew lead may have a good reason no rule knows about. The occupancy rule is the same everywhere in BatiCore, from scheduling to the work order.
Is the journeyperson / apprentice ratio checked?
Yes, at assignment, against a ratio you set for your trade: the grid warns you when a crew exceeds it, or when an apprentice has no journeyperson of their trade on the job site. It's a warning, not a lock — as with conflicts.
Are my workers notified?
Yes, if they have an account: a notice in the field app for every assignment, change or removal, and a phone notification if they turned them on. They see their work orders, not other people's schedules or the rates. The site supervisor and the office see the whole crew's schedule.
