The Re-flow 1.6 update has a new range of capabilities that will make it more streamlined and user-friendly than ever
Re-flow aims to ensure a simple yet powerful user experience as one of its guiding principles.
The team finds it crucial to be constantly listening to user feedback and reviewing even our most core features, allowing us to further refine the accessibility and power of our software.
Drag and drop scheduling, upgrading the power and usability of our scheduler.
Re-flow 1.6 will provide new ways to schedule
Re-flow’s scheduler has always aimed to make the process of assigning events and tasks as streamlined and effortless as possible.
The user-friendly dashboard keeps scheduling simpler than spreadsheet software and manual communication, yet far more powerful.
Introducing support for drag and drop will make this process even more accessible while maintaining all of the capabilities that make Re-flow’s scheduler so efficient and versatile.
Dashboard users can now utilise drag and drop across the four main scheduling types:
- Planned scheduling to easily create events and tasks against existing digital job packs.
- Contract scheduling to build presets and drag and drop resources directly from the new sidebar, expediting actions such as operative and equipment allocation.
- Reactive scheduling to assign operatives and assets against vehicles, utilising the map view to allocate resources on the fly.
- Maintenance / small works scheduling to automatically schedule common, recurring tasks.
Additional interface changes also enable users to:
- Filter the sidebar using a variety of parameters, including resource type, qualifications and availability, to quickly narrow down the assets required.
- Gain a visual overview of availability – icons and colour coding now show which resources are available, conflicted, unavailable or assigned at a glance.
- Focus view now enables users to narrow in on assigned and required assets by isolating a specific task.
Managing field operations can feel like a whirlwind, which is why Re-flow wanted to provide more visuals to communicate key information at a glance.
Tasks and events scheduled in the calendar view now display key details such as the number of operatives, vehicles and tasks assigned against them.
How can our new features further streamline your operations?
Without a centralised field management system, scheduling can be a demanding process with a multitude of moving parts.
Whether this is a manual paper system or one built from siloed legacy software, many tedious administrative processes must be carried out to keep things running smoothly.
With Re-flow 1.6, the only thing dashboard users need to worry about are scheduling the job and assigning resources.
Track conflicts and availabilities through the Re-flow app
The heavy lifting is done entirely by the software – conflicts and availabilities are tracked, operatives are notified of changes through the app, and common jobs can be set to recur, all automatically.
Existing Re-flow users should keep an eye on their e-mail inbox, the company’s social media, as well as the banners found on the desktop dashboard that will notify users when new features are available.
