Hi All. I’d like to track the use of equipment at my wood shop but I’ve hit a snag. I only have one work van but have it listed on multiple boards so when I make a dashboard with to see where it will be on any day it has as many vans as I have it booked for. Is there a way to make the platform know it’s only one van no mater how many boards it’s listed on? See pic below. Thanks all.
Hi Joshua,
I would tackle this like so:
-
Create a ‘Resources’ board where you list all your vans and any other critical tools that you need to schedule. You could also track e.g. MOT and service dates here, if that’s useful
-
From the Resources board, create a Connect column (two-way) that links to all the boards where you want to schedule your van
-
In the individual scheduling boards, use the new Connect column that will have been created to schedule the van
-
Create a dashboard linked to your individual scheduling boards, and set the Resource Type to be the Link columns on each of the boards
-
The dashboard will then recognise your van as a single item rather than different lines
Thanks for that! I’ll give it a go. Seems like a good idea.
