About the Daily Activity Screen

The Daily Activity screen is the main dispatching screen in Trapeze OPS.

After a day has been activated, you can view work and employees for the day and perform day-to-day operations in the Daily Activity screen. For example, checking for employee absences and assigning employees to related runs.

The Daily Activity screen shows information in four panes.

If standby work hasn't been assigned or bid on, you can delete it by selecting it in the Daily Activity screen and clicking Delete.

Most of the functions used on a regular basis are available as screen toolbar buttons.
