Booking a job.
One question at a time.
This is a walk-through, not the finished tool — a way to agree what the form should ask you and how the safeguards should feel. Nothing here writes to a real calendar. The guard never blocks you — it stops, explains, and lets you decide.
Which company is this job for?
This is the only choice that decides who sees the job. You pick a calendar, so it can't be mistyped.
What's the job?
A short title you'll recognise at a glance. This becomes the calendar entry.
Where is it?
Site name is enough. A postcode is optional — it lets the form work out drive time for you later on.
Leave blank if you like — nothing depends on it yet.
When is it?
Date and times. The form checks two things here: whether there's enough notice, and whether you've left yourself time to travel.
Only other companies see this as blocked-out time. Your own diary shows the true hours.
That's inside your 21-day notice window
The customer notification (PSI) normally needs 21 days. This date is 9 days away. You can still take it — but the paperwork will be tight, and it's a fair thing to push back on if you're being leaned on.
Only 30 minutes between this and your last job
You finish at Kirkby Lonsdale at 07:30 and this starts at 08:00 in Penrith — roughly a 1 hr 10 drive. That's not enough. Move the start, or take it knowing the drive is tight.
What kind of block is this?
This is mostly so the form knows what to protect. Only on-site work is checked for clashes with other on-site work.
Here's what you're about to book
Everything on one screen before it goes in. This is the moment the form exists for — a deliberate yes.
This sits on top of another on-site job
You're already booked on site for IUS that morning (Stanley — 07:30 to 12:00). Two on-site jobs at once isn't usually what you mean to do. Cancel one, move this — or take both if that's genuinely the plan.
That would be in your diary now.
In the real tool, the form writes this straight into Google Calendar — the right company, the right colour — and everything downstream (the feeds, the alerts, the privacy wall) picks it up from there.
Any guard you overruled goes in with it. The form never had the authority to stop you — only to make sure you meant it.
