Assigning puts a job from the Unassigned panel onto a technician column at a start time. You need the Owner / Admin, General Manager, Service Advisor, or Foreman role.

Drag it onto the board

1

Pick up the card

Press and drag a card in the Unassigned panel, the list on the right side of the board.
2

Hover over a technician column

A dashed preview follows you. Green with “Drop at 9:30 AM” means the slot works. Red with “Will not fit” means it does not.
3

Drop

Release on a green preview. A toast says “Assigned to the board.” and the status becomes Assigned.

Assign from Edit Job

Job Details has no assign button. To assign without dragging, open the card, click Edit Job, set Technician and Tech Start Time, then click Save Changes. The job lands on the day you are viewing.

Dropping on top of another job

If you drop onto a slot that already has a job, BayBoard pushes that job and any below it later in the day. The toast reports it: “Moved. 1 job shifted down to fit.” or “Moved. N jobs shifted down to fit.”

When a drop is rejected

The card snaps back and a toast explains why.

Undo

Every assign, move, and resize toast has an Undo action for 10 seconds. If the board changed in the meantime, you see “That undo no longer fits. The board has changed.” If a change fails to save, the toast says “The change failed. The previous board was restored.” with a Retry action.

Unassign a job

Drag a scheduled card onto the Unassigned panel. Or open the card and click Unassign in Job Details. Unassign only appears for jobs on the day you are viewing that are not Completed.

Why drag is off

A lock chip in the Unassigned header explains it:
  • “Closed days are read-only.”
  • “Past days are read-only.”
  • “Your role is read-only here.”
  • “Payment past due. Update your payment method to restore full access.”
