Scheduling a service order

Users can schedule Service Orders from the Service Order Scheduling form by dragging and dropping a Job onto the calendar. 

When jobs are created, certain skills and characteristics could have been added that are required to perform the job. When scheduling a job, you satisfy the required skills and characteristics with the appropriate professionals and equipment. The readiness of the job is denoted with icons.

A job status is dependent upon the milestones created within Insight's workflow. A job has to be advanced to the scheduled milestone's status in order for it to become available for a professional to view it.
