The Dispatch Calendar is your central hub for managing team schedules, viewing job progress, and assigning work with precision. Whether you’re dispatching one technician or coordinating a large team, this view gives you full visibility and flexibility.
Accessing the Dispatch Calendar
Click on “Calendar” in the sidebar.
You’ll land in the Event View, which offers multiple calendar layouts to suit your workflow.
Calendar View Options
FieldCamp offers four calendar modes, each tailored for a specific dispatching need:
1. Calendar View
A familiar layout similar to Google Calendar.
Switch between Day, Week, and Month views.
Great for getting a high-level overview of upcoming jobs.
2. Timeline View
Ideal for dispatching and rescheduling.
View schedules horizontally by technician.
Drag-and-drop jobs into open slots.
Time scale control: 15 min, 30 min, or 1 hour intervals.
Filter by Day or Week, and by individual Team Member for larger teams.
3. Resource View
Like Timeline, but vertically structured.
See each technician’s full-day schedule in columns.
Offers the same time controls (15, 30, or 60-minute blocks).
Best for reviewing daily allocations in detail.
4. Map View
Visualize jobs by location.
Toggle between Day View and Week View.
Great for identifying route overlaps or territory gaps.

Job List
