You can schedule tasks manually, or you can let schedule board to optimize tasks automatically.
To schedule a task, select a task from the source pane and drag it to the timetable. Some rows might be grayed out; those resources don't have the required skills to perform the task or do not operate in the required territory.


=== Manual scheduling ===
You can double-click any task on the source pane to display its properties. The properties are organized into several tabs. You can edit the fields as long as the status of the task is ''planned''.

=== Automatic scheduling ===
 
To let the application schedule tasks for you, click '''Auto-schedule''' and select one of the options:
* Optimize schedules per Resource: Helps you to find optimal start time for all tasks assigned under individual resource. This is performed for all loaded resources. Resource to which each task is assigned is not changed.
* Optimized route (per day): Minimize travel time that is necessary to visit all tasks within current day. Visit order and start time may change, while resource to which each task is assigned is not changed.
* Complete optimization: Find optimal start time for all tasks shown in the view, across all suitable resources. This is performed for all loaded resources; resource to which each task is assigned may change.
 
As a result, the total service time in the field should decrease, and the gaps between tasks should be minimized. After each optimization process, the application shows a summarized report in which you can easily identify if the process has been helpful or not. If the optimization does not satisfy your requirements, you can discard all changes in one click.
