When you are using a schedule board to manage multiple work orders bookings daily, having more filtering and search options comes in very handy.

This blog discusses how we can add an extra search box to the scheduling board filter area.

By choosing the work order number from the search box dropdown, this search box will help find all the resources assigned to the selected work order (or all resources that worked on that work order) and display them on the schedule board.

Here are the steps:

  • Open your “schedule board.”
  • Click the “Tab settings “gear on the top right.
