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.





Navigation of the Schedule Views + Schedule Screen


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






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

The ‘Task List’ schedule views 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

Visible when a project is in an active or maintenance state, the 'Activate Schedule' button, allows you to keep your schedule hidden 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.  

Once the schedule is activated, the 'Activate Schedule' button is replaced by a schedule notification switch.




The Schedule Details Pane

Provides additional project details:

  • The Schedule Type - Classic, Advanced or Enterprise
  • The Client's Name | email address & 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
