Day View of the Schedule | New Schedule Updated December 12, 2025 23:01

Overview

The Day view gives you a clear, hour-by-hour look at everything your team has scheduled for a single day. You can view it vertically or horizontally, depending on how you prefer to see your team’s time and availability. Both layouts show the same information, so you can switch to the orientation that feels easiest to scan.

Service providers use the Day view when they need to:

• See each team member’s or route’s workload at a glance

• Adjust the schedule quickly as plans change throughout the day

• Reassign visits to balance capacity or respond to last-minute requests

• Visualize travel time and reduce overlap or double booking

• Track unassigned work that still needs a team member

Whether you are planning the day ahead or making real-time adjustments, the Day view helps you stay organized, avoid scheduling conflicts, and keep your team running smoothly, regardless of which layout you prefer.

Try the new schedule

This article covers Jobber's New Schedule functionality. The new schedule is available to try before it officially rolls out.

To enable the new schedule, follow these steps:

1. Select the Schedule tab from the side navigation. 

2. From the schedule, select Explore the New Schedule and toggle on New Schedule.

Navigate the day view of the schedule

The day view displays a single day's schedule, making it easy to see each team member’s appointments, workload, and availability at a glance.

There are two ways to view the day view:

• Vertically
• Horizontally

Vertical day view

The vertical day view is the default option for the day view. To switch to the vertical day view from the horizontal day view, select the More button, then select Shift day vertical.

The vertical day view view is organized in a timeline format, where each team member has a dedicated column in the schedule with their scheduled appointments listed below. Anytime visits appear at the top of the column of scheduled appointments on the vertical day view. 

You can customize the view by adding or removing team members using the team filter.

To make quick adjustments on the vertical day view:

• To reassign appointments: Drag and drop appointments between team members to reassign them.
• To shorten or extend an appointment: Click and drag the edge of an appointment to extend or shorten its duration.

Horizontal day view

To view the day view horizontally, select the More button, then select Shift day horizontal.

The horizontal day view is set up with team member names and unassigned in a column along the left. The assignments for each team member are displayed horizontally with each appointment spanning the length of the appointment so you can see quickly who is booked, who's free, and what time windows are still available.

To view anytime appointments on the horizontal day view of the schedule, click the number in the "Anytime" column next to each team member's name to expand details about their anytime appointments on this date. Anytime appointments are appointments that have a scheduled date, but no scheduled start time... meaning they can be completed anytime during this date.

To make quick adjustments on the horizontal day view:

• To reassign appointments: Drag and drop appointments between team members to reassign them.
• To shorten or extend an appointment: Click and drag the edge of an appointment to extend or shorten its duration.

View unscheduled tasks from the day view of the schedule

To view unscheduled tasks from the day view of the schedule, select the icon for Unscheduled appointments. 

This will add a supplementary panel to the schedule that shows unscheduled appointments. The appointments can be drag and dropped on to the calendar to schedule them, or they can be updated by clicking the appointments and then selecting View Details.

To close the unscheduled appointments panel, click the X in the top right corner of the panel.

Drag and drop on the day view of the schedule

Appointments on the day view of the schedule can be drag and dropped to make quick edits. Appointments can be:

• Dragged from one time to another to reschedule it within the same day
• Dragged from the unscheduled panel to the day view to schedule it for that day
• Dragged from the day view to the unscheduled panel to unschedule the appointment

Note: Appointments cannot be dragged from one day to another on the day view, as the day view shows one day at a time.

Add a map and view GPS waypoints from the day view

To view a map with your daily appointments, select the icon for Map.

This will add a supplementary panel to the schedule that shows a map with your daily appointments represented as numbers that show the number of visits at that property this week. 

Hover over the map pins to view the appointment details.

Unassigned appointments appear on the map with a red icon that shows a person icon with a line through it. This indicates the appointment hasn’t been assigned to a team member yet.

GPS waypoints also appear in the map on the day view of schedule when viewing today's date. GPS waypoints are recorded when a team member takes an action in the Jobber App while location services are enabled on their mobile device. These actions include:

• Clocking in/out of the general timer
• Starting/stopping a timer on a visit
• Adding notes or attachments to:
  • Clients
  • Requests
  • Quotes
  • Jobs
  • Invoices
• Marking a visit complete
• Marking an on-site assessment complete
• Marking a task complete

Note: GPS waypoints are viewable from the GPS waypoints report, or today's date on the map view of the schedule. GPS waypoints do not show on the map for the month or week views. 

Filter the day view of the schedule

The day view of the schedule can be filtered by:

• Type: This is the type of schedule item, options include visits, requests, tasks, or events.
• Team: These are the team members assigned to the item on the schedule. 

For both the Type and Team filters, you can select multiple options from the dropdown. Each selection will show a checkmark to indicate it's showing on the schedule.

To clear your selections, click the filter to expand the dropdown menu, then select Clear from the dropdown menu. 

Create new work from the day view of the schedule

Work (such as jobs, tasks, events, and requests) can be created directly from the schedule so that you don't need to navigate away from the place where you do your scheduling. 

When creating a new job, request, task, or event from the calendar, select either an empty time in the schedule or select the Find a Time button. 

1. Click on an empty space on the day you want to schedule the appointment.
2. A menu will pop up and you can select the type of item you want to create. Select New Job to change the type of appointment you're creating. The options from the dropdown are: New job, new request, new task, or new event. By default New Job will already be selected.
3. Start by entering the client name.
4. Select +Add Line Item to add line items to this job.
5. Select +Assign to assign team members to the job, based on the selected team members' availability, open spots will appear on the schedule in white. This accounts for both the length of the appointment and drive time. Learn how drive time is calculated.
6. This appointment will have the date you clicked selected already, however this can be edited if needed. By default, this will be created as an anytime visit, however uncheck the Anytime checkbox to add scheduled start and end time for this appointment.
7. Click Save.

Day sheets

Day sheets are a list of a user's assignments that can be printed out or emailed. Day sheets are useful if you have a team member who doesn't have a mobile device that still needs to see their daily assignments.
