Torek Workshop calendar
Updated
The workshop calendar shows planned work by day, week or month. Every booking has a start and an end, a state and, optionally, the mechanic responsible and the machine involved. Weeks start on Monday.
Planning is not just drawing on a grid: bookings are checked before they are saved. A booking that overlaps another one for the same mechanic is refused, as is one shorter than 15 minutes or longer than 12 hours, and the refusal comes with its reason rather than as a silent failure.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum duration | 15 minutes |
| Maximum duration | 12 hours |
| Overlap | Not allowed in the same mechanic’s schedule; a booking may start exactly when the previous one ends, and cancelled bookings do not count |
| Repeat interval | Every 1 to 365 days, weeks, months or years |
| Series length | Up to 999 occurrences, until a date, or open-ended |
A seasonal inspection, a weekly walk-around round or a monthly wash is described once. Recurrence can be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with an interval and, for weekly patterns, chosen weekdays; the series ends never, after a set number of occurrences, or on a date. Repeats keep the same local clock time when the clocks change in spring and autumn. An edit or a deletion always applies to a chosen scope — this entry, this and future, or the whole series — because without that choice one edit would quietly rewrite half a year of planning.
What the calendar does not do: it does not show where a machine is and uses no GPS data; it does not sync with external calendars; it does not plan lifts or bays as separate resources; and it does not change job states for you — work progresses in the maintenance side of the system, while the calendar shows when time was set aside for it.
A list answers what has to be done. A calendar answers when there is room for it. The same jobs look manageable in a list and obviously impossible in a week where Wednesday is already full.
That makes the calendar most useful for planning the week ahead, rather than for recording what has already happened.
The new time of a one-off booking goes through the same checks as a new booking: the start before the end, at least 15 minutes, at most 12 hours, and no overlap with another booking for the same mechanic. If the new time does not fit, the change is refused with the reason, and the booking stays where it was.
Yes. Open preventive-maintenance due dates appear as separate, read-only entries; completed and cancelled ones are left out, and once a job's work order is booked in the calendar, the booking takes its place, so the same job never appears twice. The schedule itself is managed in the maintenance module.
That avoids two versions of the truth — a date changed in the calendar would no longer match the one the maintenance module holds.
It depends on the role. By default a work manager can create, change and delete any booking, a viewer reads the whole agenda, and mechanics and drivers see only their own entries: the ones they created, the ones assigned to them and the ones tied to a work order assigned to them.
In the Android app the calendar is read-only: a month at a time and the entries of the chosen day.
Yes — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with an interval of up to 365 (every two weeks, for instance) and, for weekly recurrence, specific weekdays. A series ends never, after a set number of occurrences (up to 999), or on a date.
An edit or a deletion applies to a scope chosen each time: this entry only, this and future ones, or the whole series.
