What is drag-and-drop scheduling?

Drag-and-drop scheduling lets you reschedule a job by moving it directly on a calendar instead of editing dates and times in a form. You grab a visit, drag it to a new slot – a different hour or a different day – and release. The schedule updates instantly, and the visit keeps its original duration.

How do field service businesses handle last-minute schedule changes?

The fastest way is a calendar you can rearrange directly: when a client reschedules or a tech frees up early, you drag the affected visits to their new slots instead of editing each one in a form. In Tofu, the updated schedule reaches your techs in the Tofu Team app automatically, so last-minute changes don't turn into calls and texts.

How do I reschedule a job in Tofu?

Open your weekly calendar, grab the visit, and drag it to a new time or day. The new start time shows while you drag, and the visit snaps to 15-minute steps. Release to save – no forms needed.

Can I move a visit to a different day or week?

Yes. Drag the visit into another day's column. To reach a different week, drag it to the edge of the calendar and the view scrolls to the next week automatically.

Does the visit duration change when I move it?

No. Dragging changes only the start time and day. The duration stays exactly as you set it.

Can I move a visit into the past?

No. Tofu won't let a visit be dropped on a day that has already passed, so your history stays accurate.

Will my tech see the updated schedule?

Yes. When you move a visit, the change shows up in your tech's schedule in the Tofu Team app – you don't need to call or text them about it.

Does drag-and-drop work on my phone?

Yes. Drag-and-drop works in the Tofu app on your phone as well as on desktop, so you can reschedule visits wherever you are.

Rebuild your day in seconds

A client asks to move their appointment. A tech frees up earlier than planned. Before, every change meant opening the visit, editing the form, typing a new time – one visit at a time. Now your schedule works like a board: grab a visit, drag it where it belongs, done.

Why you need drag-and-drop scheduling

Drag-and-drop scheduling saves time every time plans change: instead of opening a visit and editing its date and time in a form, you move it straight on the calendar and the change is saved.

In field service, plans change daily. A client asks for a different day, a tech runs late or frees up early, two jobs need to swap places. Each of those is a few seconds of dragging instead of a form edit – so the calendar stops being a list you maintain and becomes a board you rearrange as the day unfolds.

Small details that keep your schedule tidy

Live time preview. You see the exact new start time while you drag – no guessing where the visit will land.
15-minute snapping. Visits align to clean quarter-hour slots automatically.
Cross-week moves. Drag to the edge of the grid and the calendar flips to the next week.
No accidental time travel. Visits can't be dropped into a day that's already passed.
Clicks stay clicks. Tapping a visit opens its details, same as always – dragging is a separate, deliberate motion.
