In this article we'll explore how simple it is to create your build schedule, customise its settings, and communicate any changes to your subcontractors and contractors.



'Classic' Project Schedule Page Navigation 


After you log into RAVE, we access the project management systems by clicking on the Project tab at the top of the page.  We find and open the job that we want to manage the schedule for.  Then, click on the ‘Schedule’ sub-tab OR click on the pie chart on your Project Overview tab (screenshot below)



Navigation of the Schedule Views + Schedule Screen


We'll begin our navigation of the project's Schedule tab by looking at the top section of the page, which summarises our four schedule views and the schedule settings page. 


The ‘Task List’ view
Displays the schedule in a Task List format - grouping scheduled tasks into blocks of Milestones (stages).



The ‘Task Gantt’ view

Is a Gantt chart view of the schedule - where tasks are listed and also displayed with duration bars



The ‘Task Calendar’ view 

Is a month-by-month diary view of tasks in the schedule 



The top-level ‘Milestone Gantt’ view


Is a higher-level Gantt chart view of the schedule - where the milestones (instead of tasks) are listed and displayed with duration bars.



The Project's Schedule ‘Settings’ sub-tab

Is where we can add holidays and adjust the background settings of your schedule.



The Schedule Action Drop-Down menu

Back to our ‘Task List’ view, the schedule action drop-down menu (the 3 dots to the right of the project number) is where we can access a number of actions to manage our schedule.



The ‘Activate Schedule’ button

Allows you to hide your schedule until you are ready to share it - even if the project is live (active) and visible to your sub-trades.  The schedule is kept hidden until you 'activate' it.




The Schedule Details Pane

Provides additional project details:

  • The Schedule Type - Classic, Advanced or Enterprise
  • The Client's Name | email adress & Phone number + Contract Name - if loaded
  • Building Consent number - If loaded
  • The Site Address - if loaded

  • The  Schedule Template(s) loaded to this project
  • How many working days the schedule is set for
