Add to Worksheet Flow

How to send selected planner jobs and quotes to an existing worksheet or create a new worksheet from the selection.

Work Planner Team12 April 2026

Add to Worksheet is the planner route for turning selected work into a worksheet assignment without leaving the planning screen. It can handle selected jobs, selected quotes, or a mixture of both.

Before the Popup Opens

  • Selection required: Planner will not open the worksheet flow unless at least one valid job or quote is selected.
  • Existing worksheet checks: Jobs already sitting on an incomplete worksheet are not treated as available add-to-worksheet jobs in this flow.
  • Mixed-business warning: If your selection spans more than one business, the planner warns you before you continue.

Choosing Existing or New

  • Select Existing: Search the incomplete worksheets and choose the one you want. The search box is there to narrow the list quickly when there are many open worksheets.
  • Create New: Build a new worksheet directly from the selection instead of leaving the planner to create one first.

Fields in Create New

  • Business: This appears when the selection spans multiple businesses. It decides which business will own the new worksheet.
  • Worksheet Name: Use a clear name your team will recognise. If you leave it blank, Work Planner falls back to the current date.
  • Assigned Team Member: Use this when the worksheet should belong to a particular user straight away. Leave it as Unassigned if the route is not yet allocated.

What Happens After Confirm

  • Existing worksheet: Selected jobs and selected quotes are added to the worksheet you chose.
  • New worksheet: Work Planner creates the worksheet first, then attaches the selected jobs and quotes in the same step.
  • Planner refresh: The planner updates job worksheet markers after the add succeeds so the same work is not shown as freely available by mistake.
