Before, in the new Dispatch Board you had to move between different screens or panels to turn Dispatch Pro on or off for a job or to improve a technician route, so common tasks took extra clicks compared to the legacy board. Now, right-click menus on jobs and technicians in the new Dispatch Board match the legacy experience and expose key Dispatch Pro actions, including **Enable Dispatch Pro**, **Disable Dispatch Pro**, **Optimize Technician Route**, and **Schedule Assistant**, so dispatchers can make routing decisions from one place. ### Resources - [Use the enhanced Daily Dispatch Board](/v1/docs/use-the-enhanced-daily-dispatch-board#manage-technicians-on-the-daily-dispatch-board) ### Before and After #### Before (Current) 1. In the new Dispatch Board, click into a job row or card to review details. 2. Open separate Smart Dispatch or Schedule Assistant tools to manage Dispatch Pro on that job. 3. Open other views to see each technician's route for the day. 4. Drag and drop jobs on the board to try to improve the route. **Impact:** More time on every change, more screen hopping, and higher chance of routing errors. [Try the current workflow in your account](https://go.servicetitan.com/#/widget-app/dispatch-center?orientation=horizontal&timeframe=day). #### After 1. On the new Dispatch Board, right-click a job to open the job context menu. 2. Select **Enable Dispatch Pro** or **Disable Dispatch Pro** to control Dispatch Pro on that job. 3. Select **Schedule Assist** to help schedule the job. 4. Right-click a technician to open the technician context menu and select **Optimize Technician Route** to re-balance that technician's day. **Impact:** Dispatchers manage Dispatch Pro and routing directly from the new Dispatch Board, with fewer clicks and quicker route changes. [Test the changes in the NEXT environment](https://next.servicetitan.com/#/widget-app/dispatch-center?orientation=horizontal&timeframe=day). ### Who uses this feature - Residential Service and Replacement, Commercial Service and Replacement - Administrators, Dispatchers - Region availability: All regions ### --- ### How it works for your industry #### Residential Service and Replacement - Dispatchers right-click a no-heat job and use **Enable Dispatch Pro** so the job gets priority in the schedule during cold weather. - When a homeowner reschedules, the dispatcher right-clicks the technician and uses **Optimize Technician Route** to tighten gaps in the rest of that day. - For same-day add-on work, the dispatcher right-clicks open jobs to toggle Dispatch Pro and find the best slot without leaving the board. #### Commercial Service and Replacement - Dispatchers right-click planned maintenance visits for a large site and use **Enable Dispatch Pro** so Smart Dispatch keeps those visits grouped together. - After an emergency call at a key account, the dispatcher right-clicks the technician and runs **Optimize Technician Route** to fit in the call with minimal drive time. - For multi-site work, dispatchers use the job context menu to manage Dispatch Pro on specific jobs that must stay with certain technicians, while still using route optimization for the rest of the day. ### How to Prepare? 1. Confirm your account has Dispatch Pro. If you don't already have Dispatch Pro and are interested, review pricing and select your package [here](https://plg.servicetitan.com/dsp). You can also request a demo on our [Pro Products page](https://www.servicetitan.com/features/pro/dispatch), or reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Pro Account Manager (PAM). 2. If you're not already part of the New Dispatch Board Early Access, go to **Settings > Dispatch Board > New & Upcoming Features** and enable the **Redesigned Dispatch Board** toggle. 3. Confirm which branches and dispatch teams in ServiceTitan already use Dispatch Pro and the new Dispatch Board. 4. Train dispatchers on right-click actions in the Dispatch Board, including job context options for Dispatch Pro and technician context options for **Optimize Technician Route**. 5. Identify clear rules for when dispatchers should turn Dispatch Pro on or off for a job and when they should run route optimization during the day. 6. Bookmark your internal playbook or training materials so new dispatchers learn the new context menu workflow during onboarding.
