ControlBoard Scheduling

Pros

Setting up multiple projects is easy for me. I can easily move crews and laborers between projects. Importing subcontractors and equipment is quick and efficient. Texting to cancel crews or send messages is really handy.

Cons

The copy function sometimes accidentally duplicates crews or workers. If I have a note for a worker and extend their duration, that same note carries over for the entire new duration I've assigned.
