Set Service Time

 

The Set Service Time feature allows a user to quickly adjust job start and end times. A Next Service feature provides efficiency by accessing the next record down in the data grid without having to close and reopen the Set Service Time screen.  This screen is available through the Set Service Time button in the Dispatch Center.
