What is the Crew Scheduler?

The Crew Scheduler enables a PickTrace Office user to assign work bundles to the crews that will be working out on the farm.  Once crews are assigned via the crew scheduler, the user in the field will be able to access jobs, locations (blocks), and piece rates on the device. 

These Crew Schedule assignments appear each day when the Crew Leader opens the device with his/her badge, and Crew Leaders are able to see their assigned Work Bundle (with all the Jobs available upon checking in Employees), piece rates, and locations. 

When to Use

• Whenever a field user (typically a crew leader or checker), needs to use the device, the Crew Scheduler is used to assign work to the user. 
• The Crew Scheduler will be used either on a daily basis or a few times a week depending on personal preference.
