Questions, answered
Will it send the capacity summary without me?
No. WebRun drafts the summary email and leaves it unsent in Gmail. You review it and send it yourself, so nothing goes out without your approval.
How is capacity calculated?
It compares the scheduled hours on every open job at a work center in JobBOSS against the labor hours available there for the week, both read live so the figure updates as the schedule changes.
Does it move jobs between work centers to fix an overload?
No. WebRun only reports where the backlog is building. Rescheduling or reassigning a job is still a decision for you or your scheduler.
