CCS - Multi Participant Scheduling
On this page:
Work Order Management is a component that has been developed to help support the bulk creation of Work Orders
with related Service Appointments
which are the records assigned to Support Workers to facilitate service delivery.
Multi Participant Scheduling is the process for scheduling service to many clients (a group activity).
Accessing Work Order Management
Go to the Work Order Management
tab in the Services App or via the App Launcher, this method is typically used when you want to schedule multiple participants in the same Service Appointment
.
Work Order Management Walkthrough
Work Order Details
The first step in this process is Work Order Details, which allows you to add the following information.
Participants
- many Participants can be added when Multi Participant Scheduling is selected at the first step.Note that the
Client Count
specified here is used to calculate the ratio on the Service Appointment and feeds into theInvoice Line Item
calculation.
Service Territory
- select from active Service Territories where the service is to be delivered.Location
- this is a filtered list of Locations that are available on the related ParticipantContact
Records.Work Type
- select from active Work Types in the system.Goal
- this is a filtered list of Goals from the related ParticipantContact
Records.
Support Item and Schedule
The second step is Support Item and Schedule where you can select the Support Item that is being delivered per participant and specify the scheduled times of delivery.
The key areas to complete here:
Schedule

orOne Time
.Days of the Week

.
Participant Tabs
Different to Individual Scheduling, you’ll see tabs for the multiple participants that we’re scheduling in the Multi Participant Scheduling process.
Support Items Filter
This section allows you to filter for Selected Support Items based on the filters you apply.
You can view more information about how the filters here - CCS - Managing Support Categories & Support Items
Selected Support Item(s)
This section will show you a list of
Support Items
based on the Support Item Filters you apply and you can select theSupport Items
that are to be delivered.
Service Duration
When more than one
Support Item
is selected orProvider Travel
needs to be specified, theService Duration
section will appear so you can specify the time related to each selectedSupport Item
.
Preview
The final step is the Preview where you can view a summary of Work Order Line Items
that have been scheduled and the breakdown of the budget being used.
There is a tab for each participant so we can review the budget utilisation per participant.
The Resource Assignment tab allows us to specify resources to be assigned to the Service Appointments.
After clicking Submit the Work Orders
with related Service Appointments
and Work Order Line Items
will be created. When submission is completed, a view of the Parent Work Orders that have been created will be visible.
For Multi Participant Scheduling the data structure created is slightly different to Individual Participant Scheduling. The structure will contain:
Parent Work Order with related Service Appointments to facilitate scheduling of Service Resources.
Child Work Orders for each related participant to facilitate invoicing per participant.
Work Order Line Items
are related to each Child Work Order.
Parent Work Order
If you click into the Parent Work Order via the Work Order Number
, you will see the Parent Work Order Record. From this record you can see:
Service Appointments - where
Service Resources
are assigned.Child Work Orders - created for each Participant with the related
Work Order Line Item
.Skill Requirements - inherited from the Participant record.
From the Parent Work Order there’s an option to Manage Service Appointments related to the Work Order
, clicking this action will take you to a filtered list of Service Appointments
related to the Parent Work Order which you can bulk update.
Child Work Order
The Child Work Order is linked to the participant with the related Work Order Line Item
to facilitate invoicing.
Work Order Line Item
The related Work Order Line Item
will generate the Total Amount
based on the calculation below.
((Client Count / Required Service Resources) * Rate) *Quantity
