Geo zone scheduling is a fast and efficient way to schedule your resources and subcontractors based on the area or zone that you have assigned them to work in. AroFlo lets you assign or schedule jobs by zip code, suburb or a geographic zone.
- Define zones by suburb, postcode, or simply by drawing directly on a map using geo-fencing.
- Assign technicians, contractors and area managers to one zone, multiple zones, or all zones.
- Include zones when scheduling tasks in the calendar to ensure the right resource is selected for the job.
Setting up zones and assigning resources are administration functions that require access to Site Administration. Please contact your Site Administrator for assistance.
The following instructions explain how to set use Geo Zone Scheduling. For information on how to set up resource zones, see Resource Zones.
