Search function for Schedule
Because of the sheer amount of jobs we have per month, we currently use Google calendar for our scheduling because we are able to search for anything we have written in the description of the event, which makes it convenient and easy to search for a unit number, even if it was a year ago. This function is detrimental to our business flow, as it's something we do on almost a daily basis - the ability to search our calendar in Tsheets makes a world of difference. I have seen people suggest this on here going back as far as…

Ability to add/attach photos and other files to scheduled shifts
It would be helpful to have the ability to attach a photo, inventory list or other important documents(perhaps limit 2) to the note section of an employee's schedule. While out on the job, they would be able to have all info in the same spot. Currently, we share info via text or email. This would make life so much simpler.

Two-way sync with Google Calendar
Using the API for Google allow for bi direction sync of calendar to schedule and vice versa. Our company has been using a shared calendar for years to manage the schedule and we'd like to continue to do so for historical reasons. However things on the calendar we can't see in schedule and when we put them in schedule, we can color code, or edit anything in calendar which is making it VERY difficult on our scheduling team. We're doing double entry for every job.

Click and drag on calendar to create multi-day events
Being able to click and drag across multiple days in the schedule calendar view to create a multi-day event would be a big time savings over setting up the repeat options manually.

Round Punches to Scheduled Shift
Punches should be rounded down to scheduled shift when punching in and out. As well provide an option for the employee to indicate working outside of shift for manager approval.
Some employees arrive in excess of 30 minutes early and punch in on arrival then proceed to drink coffee or read the paper prior to the start of the store opening. Rounding to the shift will reduce considerable manual overriding of the punch card and TSheets could provide an easy way for the employee to notify the manager when they work beyond their shift with notes of course so the…

Add to the schedule a search option, (like google calendar has), to find specific job or customer info.
Need the ability to find customer or specific job info quickly. Currently, there is no way to access specific job information without going to QB to find the customer first and scroll through their invoices to find job info. Google calendar has a search field to enter keyword(s) that will list all matching jobs with the search criteria typed in (cust name, work performed, materials used, etc); then can quickly see every job that match the keyword(s) entered. (ex: Mr. Smith, or part #123, or address, etc)

Schedule confirmation
Would love to be able to see a conformation check mark or something once I schedule and employee and it goes to the mobile users phone. The mobile user itself has the back up option to get the schedule posted via email account and the app. It would be nice to have the Admin/web user see on the schedule that it actually made it to the users phone and they read it.

In scheduling set up an area for unscheduled and unassigned shifts. These shifts would need to have an approximate date on them like this month or March. So, when you are scheduling you could pull a shift from the unscheduled/unassigned area and drag it to an employee and date.

Pending job queue for jobs that are to be assigned.
We envision a vertical independent list to act as a pending job queue. A scheduler person could then drag the pending jobs from the queue to the appropriate person on the schedule. Currently we will put these pending jobs in the unassigned row on the schedule however this is cumbersome given we have to continually move these pending jobs to the following week as the weeks turn over. If we had a pending jobs queue it would greatly simplify the process. This would also allow a front office staffer to take calls for job requests and add them to the…

Ability to print/PDF a Schedule/Job Details
Ability to print and/or PDF a Schedule/Job complete with all details as a stand alone item, to turn it into a Job/Schedule Card, that can either be printed or printed to PDF for emailing. In an ideal world this would be possible with the option to include or not include job completion times and job completion notes.

Show clock-in button on all shifts, regardless of shift start time
We schedule jobs, as opposed to shifts for a given day. It would be very handy if an employee could clock-in or switch to any given job, either from the Overview screen or from the Schedule screen on the Mobile App. Currently only the first shift (job) of the day provides a clock-in icon.

Improve schedule flow w/o CLOCK OUT
Currently an employee is able to clock-in for a scheduled shift from the OVERVIEW screen under the TODAY'S SCHEDULE, or in the SCHEDULE screen under MY SCHEDULE.
That is fine, however my company is TASK oriented rather than SHIFT oriented, so we have employees scheduled for 4-5 'shifts' each day. The problem is that once the shift has started the employee has to CLOCK OUT before they are able to switch to the next task.
An employee can already SWITCH from one task to another from the MY TIME CARD screen. A more successfully developed SCHEDULING tie-in would be for…

Guess Travel Time to and from a Location
Have the schedule display a 'ghosted' travel time estimate between scheduled locations.
Our technicians start at HQ then drive out to multiple clients before returning to sum up the day. Being able to see a guestimate based on time of day and distance (i.e., using the Google Maps API) would greatly assist with scheduling.

Schedule a multiple day job per item code?
I have tasks "Items" set up for customers that pay a set P.O. price and it allows for a certain number of days to complete. Can I set the schedule to automatically schedule 2 days to the employee when that job item is selected? In the TSheets scheduler now, the only option is to input the day and start/ finish times. Can there be a finish date added?

Ability for field crew to release a scheduled job for invoicing once it is completed.
Once a scheduled job is completed, the crew can mark the job as complete and release for invoicing.
This must also come with the ability to run a report that will tell us what jobs have been completed and are ready for invoicing.
