Give every reviewed Job an identity, a reason it is not scheduled and a next action with an owner. A review sheet should help someone make a decision, not reproduce the whole Job history. Keep it aligned with the current records and mark when it was prepared.
Choose fields that lead to action
The sample below is a manual review worksheet. It does not create automatic reminders or change Daylane's Job status. Use the Job reference to open the underlying record when more context is needed.
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Job reference | J-0101 |
| Remaining work | Approved return work |
| Reason not scheduled | Required part readiness unconfirmed |
| Next action | Check availability and update customer |
| Owner | Scheduler Alex |
| Review by | Next working day, 10:00 |
| Customer promise | Update after readiness check; no Visit yet confirmed |
Keep a small set of review outcomes
At each review, choose a concrete outcome: ready to offer, waiting on a named dependency, customer decision needed or closure review. These can be worksheet labels; do not imply that they are dedicated product statuses if your system does not provide them.
If a task is ready, schedule it through the actual workflow and verify the saved Visit. If it remains blocked, update the owner or review time rather than copying the same stale row into another week.
Reconcile the sheet with the current backlog
Compare the worksheet with Daylane's Unscheduled view and the relevant Job records. Remove resolved entries from the active review list while keeping the factual outcome in the work history.
The download is an editable plain-text worksheet with a filled example and blank rows. Store completed copies through your normal protected business process because they may contain customer and work information.

An original operational guide from the Daylane team at Blu Mint Digital. Scenarios, durations and message wording are illustrative planning examples, not customer results or industry benchmarks. Product references were checked against the Daylane implementation on 5 September 2026. Adapt the workflow to your service, customer agreements and working conditions.
