Recreatex documentation

Task planning gives you a graphic overview of all tasks of all employees, in the function of the selected working groups.

Go to General > Basic data > Employees > Visualisations > Task planning.

In the task planning overview, the created tasks are visualised in time blocks. Each time block shows the duration and work type of the task. Moreover, the symbol is used to indicate that an employee has already been linked to the task and the symbol   to indicate that the task has been confirmed for (or by) the employee.

If you move the cursor over a certain task, the detailed information about the task in question appears at the bottom of the task planning screen.

By means of the different buttons in the toolbar, you can modify the layout of the planning according to your wishes, create new tasks and/or refresh all task planning data.

	This button allows you to set up the time scale of the task planning, in other words the size of the time division visualised. The time division can be modified from 1 minute to 60 minutes.
	Show the current day.
	Limit the task planning overview to 1 day.
	Limit the task planning overview to a working week.
	Limit the task planning overview to a week.
	Show the entire month.
	Create a new task.
	Refresh the data in the task planning overview.
	The option Show allows you to filter the tasks visualised. The first button allows you to visualise all tasks, only the tasks not yet planned or only the tasks already planned in the task planning overview. The second button allows you to visualise all tasks, only the tasks not yet confirmed or only those already confirmed in the task planning overview. The third button allows you to visualise all tasks, only the not cancelled tasks or only the cancelled ones in the task planning overview.

The calendar allows you to select one or several days to be visualised in the task planning overview.

Days that contain tasks, are marked in bold in the calendar.

Moreover, you can select (tick off) the working groups of which you want to call up the tasks.

The selected (ticked off) working groups are then visualised as tabs above the task planning overview, allowing you to consult the tasks of the working group in question at all times.

Finally, you will find a key that explains the colours linked to the tasks.

Assign a task

A task can be assigned to an employee in three different ways.

• The first way is by clicking with the right mouse button on the task in question, after which you will be able to choose one of the employees that qualify for the current work type AND that are available (in function of their availability periods + no other tasks planned yet in the same period).

• The second way is by double-clicking on the task in question, after which the window Modify task per employee will appear, in which you can not only modify the task data if required but also link an employee to the task.

Anmerkung

If you link an employee in the window Modify task per employee, you will, as apposed to assigning a task by clicking on the right mouse button in the graphic overview (see above), see an overview of all employees. This allows you to select an employee that is not available. In this case, the message below will appear, however, if you try to save the task:

• The third way is by clicking on the button Search at the bottom of the window. In this way, you will see an overview of all employees that qualify for the chosen work type AND that are available (in function of their availability periods + no other tasks planned yet in the same period).

By double-clicking on the desired employee in this list, the employee will be linked to the current task.

Anmerkung

A task that has been assigned to an employee is marked with the symbol in the task planning overview.

Confirm a task

If you want to confirm the linked employee for a certain task, you have to double-click on the task in question, after which the window Modify task per employee will appear, in which you can then tick off the box next to Confirmed.

Anmerkung

If the employee has confirmed his/her task in the online task planning, this task will be considered as confirmed in Recreatex as well.

A task with a confirmed employee is marked with the symbol in the task planning overview.

Create a new task

If you want to create a new separate task, you can do so by clicking on the button New task.

The window Modify task per employee will appear that contains several tabs. In any case, you first have to fill in the tab Details and click on Save before you will be able to modify the other tabs.
