Quick start guide
Change function times
You can drag, drop, extend and shorten all functions that you see in the overview. This allows you to quickly change the time period of a function. The color of a function indicates whether there are sufficient crew members or vehicles planned on that function.

View availability of crew members and vehicles
Before you can plan crew members and vehicles, you must check their availability. Crew members can provide their availability for a certain time period themselves, or let someone else do it for them. The color of a crew member or vehicle indicates whether they are available.

Invite crew members
You can invite crew members to provide their availability, or directly invite them for a specific function.

Final and draft planning
You can set a function to be final-planned or draft-planned for a crew member. Setting a function to draft is useful if you need more flexibility, allowing you to make edits and not notifying the crew members. Once you are finished, you can set the planning to final, making it visible for your crew members.

Send the schedule
When you've planned your crew members and vehicles, you can send the schedule to all relevant crew members. Crew members can choose in what way(s) they want to receive the invitation: by email, in the Rentman Mobile app, and/or as notification in Rentman in your web browser.
