You can show the map alongside the Gantt or detached into a separate browser tab or window. - Dispatchers can duplicate the console tab across multiple monitors to view the Gantt, service appointment list, and map simultaneously. - Dispatchers can drag service appointments from the list or map straight onto the Gantt to schedule or reschedule them. - Resizable separators between the Gantt, service appointment list, and map help dispatchers adjust the layout to fit their workflow. ## Gantt The following Gantt features are available in the Scheduling Console or coming in a future release.
