Creating Extra Work From Daily Activity

Quickly create and activate a piece of extra work for a dispatch day from the Daily Activity screen. If a vehicle is required, the system also creates a vehicle block.

You can create quick extra work even if the day hasn't been activated. However, the work won't appear in the Daily Activity screen until you activate the day.
  1. Open the Daily Activity screen and set the Context (F3).
  2. Select Quick Extra Work: Quick Extra Work
  3. Select the type of extra work: Specials, Stand-by, or Casual.
    Only the work types with default work subtypes defined in Properties (under OPS > Dispatch > Quick Extra Work) can be selected.
  4. Select the Division for the work, enter a Work Name, and select a Work Sub Type.
  5. Enter the Sign-On Time and Sign-Off Time.
  6. Enter the From Time and To Time.
    These fields are only available for work requiring a vehicle.
    If the OPS > Dispatch > Edit Work Times > Calculate SignOn and SignOff is enabled, Sign-On Time and Sign-Off Time update based on the entered From and To times. They are also updated if Prep Time, Finish Time, Report Time or Clear Time are changed.
  7. Enter the Sign-On Node, From Node, To Node, and Sign-Off Node.
    These fields can be blank for casual work.
  8. Optional: Enter any Comments.
  9. To assign this work immediately, select Assign Work to Employee.
    The Assign Employee dialog appears when you finish.
  10. Select OK.
