Business value
With improved usability and performance, technicians and dispatchers can manage schedules more efficiently, leading to increased productivity and employee satisfaction.
Feature details
- Enhanced user experience: The improved schedule board architecture signifies a shift from extJS to React, which allows for a more responsive user interface, leading to a more intuitive and satisfying user experience for technicians and dispatchers.
- Improved performance: An efficient diffing algorithm and a virtual Document Object Model (DOM) result in improved update and load times. The schedule board loads faster and reacts instantly to user interactions, even under heavy load.
- Future-proof: The new architecture is up to date with the latest advancements in web technology, which improves maintenance and upgradability.
- Usability and modernization improvements: The updated schedule board will bring highly requested customer asks such as a working-days-of-the-week selector, week numbers, ability to reorder tabs per user, day line visibility, and accessibility improvements.
Note
The update from extJS to React will break any unsupported customizations such as DOM manipulations.
