The Calendar View is the default view when you open Jobs & Dispatch. Unlike a traditional monthly calendar, it displays a daily schedule that organizes jobs into two logical categories:
Going Out - Deliveries, Services, and On-Site SurveysComing Back - Pickups and Partial PickupsThis split-view design helps dispatchers quickly understand the day's workload at a glance.
