Overview
The Capacity Calendar shows how much crew and how many trucks you've committed on each day of the month, so you can avoid overbooking and plan staffing.
In this article, you'll learn how to:
- Open the Capacity Calendar settings
- Choose a primary and secondary metric
- Understand each metric, including the new "by slot" metrics
- Count more than one crew position in a metric
Open the Capacity Calendar Settings
- Go to Settings → Moves → Calendars.
- Find the Capacity Calendar panel and click Edit.
- Choose a Primary Metric and, if you'd like, a Secondary Metric.
- Save.
On the monthly calendar (Moves → Capacity → Calendar), the primary metric is the large number in each day and the secondary metric is in the top-right corner.
Metrics Explained
Each metric shows a number committed over a number available, such as 3/15.
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| # of Jobs | The total number of jobs booked that day. |
| # of Crew Committed / # of Available Crew | Crew members assigned that day out of all available crew. |
| # of Trucks Committed / # of Available Trucks | Trucks assigned that day out of all available trucks. |
| # of Trucks Committed / # of Available Crew for Position | Trucks dispatched, compared with the crew available in the position that must be on a truck (for example, Drivers). |
| # of Crew Committed for Position / # of Available Crew for Position | Crew in the chosen position(s) assigned that day, out of all crew available in those positions. |
| # of crew committed by slot / # of available crew (new) | Counts each dispatch slot once. If several jobs are stacked on one slot, the crew is counted once using the largest crew among them. |
| # of trucks committed by slot / # of available trucks (new) | Counts each dispatch slot once, so stacked jobs on one truck don't count the truck twice. |
Tip: If you stack several jobs onto one truck and crew, use the by slot metrics. The other metrics add up every job, so stacked days can look fuller than they are. A job that isn't dispatched yet counts as its own slot.
Note: The # of Trucks Committed / # of Available Crew for Position metric stays at 0 until a truck is dispatched on the job.
Count More Than One Crew Position
Crew metrics count the movers working in the positions you choose. The field is now called Crew Position(s) and accepts more than one position. For example, if you split one role across "Crew Leader" and "Foreman," select both to get a single count. A mover who holds two of the selected positions is counted once.
- On the by-slot crew metric, Crew Position(s) starts on All, which counts the whole crew.
- The "for Position" metrics still need at least one position selected.
- When a metric counts several positions, the day reads Movers committed by slot. Hover over the number to see which positions are included.
Important Notes
⚠️ Jobs tagged Ignore for capacity are left out of every metric.
⚠️ You can also configure day metrics that show in Dispatch. See Capacity Calendar: Configure Capacity Metrics and View Capacity in Dispatch.
FAQ
Where did the Capacity Calendar setting go? It used to be under Manage Moves.
It's now under Settings → Moves → Calendars.
Why does my day look full when we stacked jobs?
Standard metrics add up every job. Switch to a by slot metric to count each truck and crew once.
