Scheduler

The Scheduler works much like a standard Windows calendar. It allows you to schedule jobs, estimates, and other appointments, set reminders, and manage your workload visually.

You can also sync the Scheduler with Google Calendar so you receive reminders on your phone or other devices.

Tip:
If you sync with Google Calendar, it is recommended to create a separate calendar specifically for The Paint Estimator. This keeps job scheduling separate from your personal events.
