Use the dispatch board

💡 Tips

• •Assigning a job to someone whose profile doesn't list that language asks you to confirm and give a reason, which helps when you know they cover it but their profile is out of date. Placeholder interpreters skip the check entirely.
• •Dropping someone marked as an intern asks whether it's a normal assignment or a shadow slot: an intern rides along to observe, doesn't fill the slot (it stays open for a real interpreter), and is never billed or paid.
• •The same interpreter can't take two different slots of the same team job, but they CAN return to another segment of the same split slot (see Split a job between interpreters).
• •Colored bands behind a row mark working hours you can schedule into: teal = a W-2 staff shift, violet = a purchased-time contractor's bought block.
• •The board updates live as other coordinators or interpreters make changes, so you're always seeing the current state.
• •Drag a row's grip handle to reorder interpreters, your layout is remembered per agency.
• •On a day with a lot of open jobs the Unassigned row can get tall, so use the ▾ next to its label to minimize it and see the rest of the schedule. It stays a drop target while minimized, so you can still drag a job there to release it, and the choice is remembered.
• •"Check Travel" uses real driving times and distance between an interpreter's back-to-back jobs to flag tight turnarounds.
• •Open a slot's detail popup to see "Who we've asked", the history of who's been offered the job and whether they accepted, are awaiting a reply, or passed.
