On the scheduler, you are able to create Non-task Events i.e. events that don't have a task attached. An example of a Non-task Event is Sick Leave, Toolbox meetings, RDOs etc. Click the Create non-task event button on the upper right corner of the scheduler to add an event. You can can then select the technician and type of event and any other applicable details.
Setting up non-task event options: Go to Control Panel > Timesheets > Task session types > Create new item. For a non-task event to appear in the scheduler requires the following setup:
Is taskable: Unticked (this makes it a non-task session type)
Show on scheduler: Ticked (makes the session available to select when adding a non-task event.
