Update 3.10: Scheduling Real-Time Updates

If you’re working in a large or lively garage, it’s important to see updates as soon as they happen. That’s why we’ve focused on bringing real-time updates to our scheduler with our latest 3.10 update. Now, when changes are made to the scheduler, they will be reflected on all screens for all users immediately – no more waiting or having to refresh your schedule!

We have also added more customisation to the scheduler, including context menus and more ability to control which headings and pieces of information are visible. 

What’s new with our scheduler?
