Crew members can view and apply to open positions directly from the Project Vacancies section in the mobile app.

Once they apply:

  • A ToDo is automatically created for the planner
  • A new activity is logged in the project (web app)

This ensures the office team is immediately informed and can manage requests from the web app.

Withdrawing a request

If needed, the crew member can withdraw their application at any time — as long as the position has not yet been confirmed by the planner.

This action is also done directly from the mobile app.

Once the request is withdrawn:

  • A ToDo is created for the planner
  • A new activity is logged (web app)

This keeps everything transparent and up to date between crew and office.

Crew flexibility (mobile)

From the mobile app, crew members can:

  • Apply to open positions
  • Manage their availability
  • Withdraw requests if their situation changes

How to create and manage ToDos in SquidWeb

Keeping track of tasks between office and crew can quickly become messy — especially when working across multiple projects.

With SquidWeb ToDos, you can assign tasks in seconds and make sure they are completed directly from the mobile app.

What you can do with ToDos

  • Create and assign tasks instantly
  • Add context and instructions
  • Send tasks directly to crew members
  • Track progress in real time
  • Complete tasks in one click from mobile

How to create a ToDo

1. Go to a project
2. Open the Activities section
3. Click on New ToDo
4. You can define:

  • Title (caption) – A short description of the task
  • Detailed instructions (body) – Add context or specific actions to complete
  • Recipient – Assign the task to the responsible person
  • Due date and time – Set clear deadlines
  • Reminder – Ensure the task is not forgotten
  • Priority – Highlight urgent or important tasks

Create ToDos from different areas

ToDos can be created from multiple parts of SquidWeb, such as:

  • Projects
  • Leads
  • Payroll
  • Mailbox
  • Delivery Notes
  • Contacts

This allows you to assign tasks wherever the need arises.

How ToDos work on mobile

Once created a ToDo external:

  • The assigned person receives the task instantly
  • The ToDo appears directly in the mobile app
  •  The crew can open and complete it easily

No need for calls or external communication.

✔️ Completing a ToDo

ToDos can be completed directly from the mobile app:

  • Open the task
  • Click “Complete”

That’s it — fast and simple.

Tracking ToDos

From the web app, you can:

  • See all active ToDos
  • Track completion status
  • Review completed tasks

This gives full visibility to the office team.

Result

With ToDos in SquidWeb:

  • Communication becomes structured
  • Tasks are not lost
  • Office and crew stay aligned

Working with complex projects often means navigating between different layers of information, from overall project details to specific crews and individual items. This can quickly become time-consuming and harder to manage.

How it works

As you interact with the project, the side panel responds in real time:

  • Selecting the project shows the side panel in Project mode, displaying project-level sections
  • Selecting a crew group switches the side panel to Crew mode, focusing on crew-related panels (e.g. Crew optimizer)
  • Selecting a crew item switches the side panel to Crew item mode, where the content adapts depending on the item:
    • Empty item → shows the Crew optimizer
    • Filled item → shows the Crew profile and related details

There’s no need to manually switch between views — the interface adjusts instantly to your context.

With the Side Panel View Modes, SquidWeb simplifies this process by adapting the panel automatically based on your selection.

More control when you need it

In addition to the automatic behavior, you can also manage the panel manually through the menu:

  • Fold all panels to get a cleaner and more focused view
  • Filter the content by view mode (Project, Crew, Crew Item, etc.)

This combination gives you both flexibility and control, depending on how you prefer to work.

The side panel helps you:

  • Spend less time searching for information
  • Stay focused on the task at hand
  • Navigate complex projects more efficiently
  • Keep your workspace clean and structured

This helps planners quickly recognize projects and adds visual context to project information.

Project banners can be generated using AI or uploaded manually.

How to create a project banner

  1. Open a project in the Web App

  2. Go to the project information section

  3. Click on the banner area

  4. Choose:

    • Generate with AI, or

    • Upload your own image

If you generate a banner with AI, SquidWeb uses the available project information (project name, dates, location) to create a contextual image.

Where the banner appears

Once created, the banner is displayed:

  • In the project information section in the Web App

  • In the mobile app project view for planners

  • In the mobile view for clients

This provides a consistent visual reference across devices.

Why use project banners

Adding a banner helps:

  • Quickly recognize projects

  • Improve visual organization

  • Add context to project information

  • Reduce confusion in large project lists

Project banners are optional but recommended, especially when managing multiple projects at the same time.
