Company Jobs Grid View

The Company Jobs Grid displays the Company Jobs in a spreadsheet style grid. You can control the columns and sort order using Column Views


Select View

Use this drop down to select the current Column View. These views control which fields are visible in the Company Jobs Grid as well as sort order.


Tool Windows

Tool Windows in the MoverBiz Big Board allows us to bring you additional functionality that can be hidden when not used. Hovering over the the tabs on the far right-hand side of the screen will make the Tool Windows temporarily pop-out. When you click elsewhere on the Big Board, the tool window will collapse again. Use the black thumbtack in the yellow header of the Tool Window to "pin" it, or permanently expand the window.

You can also click and hold the yellow header of a Tool Window to drag and re-dock it. You can use your Big Board User Default Settings to save the position and pinning of these windows.

If you have Permission 9 - Edit Company Jobs AND NOT Permission 10 - View-Only Company Jobs, then you will see an Edit button with a pencil icon in the upper left of the Tool Window. Otherwise the information is read-only.

If you are in the middle of editing a Tool Window and select another Company Job from the Grid, you will be prompted if you want to save your current changes before the information for the selected Company Job is loaded. If you press the Cancel button (red circle with white X) while you are editing, you will be prompted to confirm the cancellation.

When you are done editing, press the Save button (blue floppy disk icon) in the upper left of the window to save your changes to the database.


Dates Window

The window allows you to view/edit Control Dates that are associated with the selected Company Job.



Pressing the Edit button (yellow pencil icon) will change the Grid View to edit mode. You can type in a valid date under the Begin and Spread columns. The Preferred and Assigned columns will accept a valid date or date & time. You will receive an error in the grid if invalid input is entered and you must correct the problem before you can proceed.

[Insert Date:] Select an available Date Type from the drop-box and press the [Add Date] button to attach the control date to the Job. If you remove a control date and then re-add it from this drop-box DURING THE SAME EDITING SESSION, then the date values will be retained.



Driver Window

This window allows you to view/edit the assigned commission agent Driver that is associated with the selected Company Job. The Phone Number, License Number, License Date and DOT Date are pulled directly from the commission agent record.



Pressing the Edit button (yellow pencil icon) will change the Grid View to edit mode. You see the addition of an Agent Type and Posting Type columns for additional information. Check/Uncheck the box beside the record you want to assign. You can only assign a single commission agent Driver to a Company Job.
