The board was built around a working day, which suits a run of appointments and completely misses a car that goes out on Tuesday and comes back on Saturday. It now has a second zoom, and the geometry underneath understands a span rather than a slot.
- Days, not just hours. Switch the zoom and the axis becomes a stretch of dates. A four day hire is one bar. A job that started before the window opens is squared off at the edge rather than dropped, because a missing bar makes a booked car read as free.
- Lanes in the order you would write them. People first, then each kind of thing grouped together and sorted the way a person counts: 1, 2, 3, not 1, 10, 11, 12, 2.
- It opens where the work is. Look at next Thursday and the board used to land you on midnight. It now anchors on the first thing actually happening.
- Scroll and it keeps going. Reach the edge of the week and the next fortnight loads in behind you, so you can drag forward through a month without the view snapping back.
- The board is a view you choose. It is now something you switch on and off like any other view, on by default for hire and field work and suggested to anyone whose mix grows into it. Month view is the floor, so turning everything off still leaves you a schedule. Everyone who had the board keeps it.
