Skedulo Plus Product Extension - Self-schedule a job

Enable resources to self-schedule jobs allocated to them in the mobile app.

Resources may occasionally need to reschedule their assigned jobs, or self-schedule jobs that don’t yet have a set date and time. This extension enables them to easily define the date and time for their jobs directly from the Skedulo Plus app.
