šŸ’” Tips

  • If you are using vWork Groups, when you switch groups the Schedule remembers the last order used by you and displays workers in this order.

  • The Schedule displays workers in the order used by each dispatcher. Different dispatchers can have different orders.

  • All new workers are added to the top of the worker list in the Schedule so the dispatcher can easily find them and move them to where they want them on the worker list.  

Sort workers alphabetically

It is easy to quickly display workers in either ascending or descending alphabetical order using the 'Sort Workers' Sort Worker button.png button. This is useful when you:

  • want to quickly sort workers into alphabetical order after adding several new workers to the Schedule .
  • have arranged workers in a customized order and want to revert to an alphabetical order
  • have a customized order that no longer works and you want to begin from an easy starting point to set up a new customized worker order.

  1. Click Sort Worker button.png once to display workers in ascending alphabetical order (A to Z).

  2. Click Sort Worker button.png a second time to display workers in descending alphabetical order (Z to A).
