In this FAQ, 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 ‘Site/Build’ button at the top right of the page. We find and open the job that we want to manage the schedule for. Then, click on the ‘Schedule’ sub-tab.
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 (accessible as sub-tabs on the top left of the screen). After that, we'll move down and across the rest of this top section, providing more detailed information about each aspect of the screen later on.
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 meatballs icon to the right of the job 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 and Enterprise
- The Client's Name + Contract Name - if loaded
- The Site Address - if loaded
- The Site Manager Name - if loaded
- The Template(s) loaded to this project
