The switches
| Card | Switch | When on |
|---|---|---|
| Foreman can view past jobs | Foreman can view past jobs | Foremen see a Past tab of finished jobs. |
| Decline Schedule | Foreman can decline schedule | The crew sees DECLINE next to CONFIRM on a schedule. Off, they can only confirm. |
| Foreman can skip customer ETA SMS | Can foreman skip customer ETA SMS? (No / Yes) | The ETA screen offers Continue without notifying, so the foreman can go en route without texting the customer. |
| Crew location | The crew must share their phone's location to open their jobs | The phone must share its location before the job opens. |
| Time off requests | Movers can ask for time off | Movers ask for a day, or part of one, from the Tracker, and the office answers. Off, the Mover's Portal hides it. |
