The Events page displays a list of current events by date and day. This page can be set as the default home page.

Bookings or job sheets here are known as “Events” and all bookings are displayed by the event on the main Events Page rather than by each shift (staff) on the Shifts Page. Creating job sheets (events) on this page also gives you quick access to two additional components: “Equipment” and “Consumables”, which can be added or edited on the go. Using the Events Page would be most efficient if each event is entered by your office staff (as opposed to Clients making bookings online every day) and your invoices include a combination of an hourly rate for staff, consumable items and equipment hire. There are three pages within this page: Events, Booking and Quote.

The events are colour coded by day, the columns are categorised by key:

Business: The name of the business/location that the job is booked for

From/Until: Click the field to display a calendar and select the time frame in which you would like to view the events

Notes: Anything that’s entered in the “Booking Notes” text box, in either Booking or Quote tab, appears here.

Using the search bar, events can be narrowed down by client, date or job number, or a combination of multiple search filters which can be used by entering the data and clicking the “Search” button. Click the “Reset” button to reset the advanced search bar entries and bring the events to view back to today.

Creating New Event:

Click “New Event” or “Booking” which will open a small window.

Fill out the fields and click create.

This will create a new booking/event. This will then take you to the quoting page.

‘Job No.’ is automatically assigned by CrewCard. This can be edited with numbers or text.

Booking Notes: Any notes related to this event can be entered here.

Staff Required: All staff requirements can be viewed and edited on this part of the page. More staff can be added by clicking “Add Staff”.

Equipment: Click “Add Equipment” then enter the quantity, which will multiply the amount that’s entered under “Charge”.

Consumables:  Add a description of the charge, date (optional), quantity, and the charge, which will be multiplied by the quantity.

Make sure to click “Save Information” after making any changes.

Invoices can be connected to MYOB, please contact support@personnelmanager.com.au for more information. Costs apply.

To edit, double click the event to open.

To perform an advanced search, use the client bar, date or job number, which narrows down the jobs displayed. Click reset to return to view all.
