Adding users and their details is crucial for smooth operations, including mapping, scheduling, and arrival estimates. Users include managers, engineers, accountants, and others operating the system. Providing comprehensive information for engineers is important for administrative upkeep.
Increasing the number of users after activating your account will raise your monthly usage cost as user count correlates with the number of licences in your plan.

You may need to delete a user for a couple of reasons. The employee has the left the business or you need to delete the user to re create them with a different license type. You must reassign all future jobs/estimates to another user before you can delete the user.
If you delete an engineer, their name will be removed from the diary, however, their diary events such as jobs, estimates, and history will remain with that user. The user timesheet report will still be available for this user even after they have been deleted. If the user uses the mobile app, it will no longer sync with the system. Their mobile app will be unusable.
Deletion is permenant and can only be performed by Owner/Manger. You cannot delete the user you are logged in as.

Selecting --Please choose-- will allow you to see unlimited days
Limiting the diary view will ensure your users are focused on the events within the desired time period, whilst expanding the diary view will provide transparency and will allow users that book their own events more freedom to available diary slots. Additionally hiding the job address promotes best app usage practices. Actioning diary events in a timely manner creates more accurate job costings and ensures prompt communication with the office teams.
