  * You can easily drag a task from one day to the other, or from one department to the other. For example: If you have 2 artists you can easily move tasks between them.

{{ :production:scheduling:move_tasks.mp4?720x432 }}

NOTE:
You can also rearrange tasks by editing the tasks directly, either from the Job Board or from the Sales Screen:

  * To create a new //Custom View//, click on ''%%View%%'', then on ''%%Create/Edit%%''

  * Next, select a ''%%Department%%'' from the left to be included in the view, and click on the Arrow  >  button to move it to the right
  * Once you have included all the departments you want to see in your custom view, click on Save
