What does the count on a scheduling card mean, like 2/5 or 1/2?
The count shows how many workers or assets are assigned against how many the card requires.
Quick answer
A card's count reads as assigned / required. 2/5 workers means 2 people are assigned out of 5 required; 1/2 assets means 1 piece of equipment is assigned out of 2 required. The gap between the two numbers is what's still open.
Overview
Each scheduling card can track a required count separately for workers and for assets — set in the Edit Assignment drawer as Total Workers and Total Assets. The badge on the card face is a running tally against that target, so you can tell a card's staffing status without opening it. When you do open or expand the card, the same count breaks down into names: a 2/5 worker count means 2 named workers plus 3 slots shown as Not assigned.
Before you begin
- Reading card counts is available to admins in the web portal.
- A card needs a required count set (Total Workers and/or Total Assets) for the badge to be meaningful — see Editing or deleting a scheduling card.
What you can do
- Read the badge at a glance. A card showing 2/5 workers and 1/2 assets tells you both staffing levels without opening anything.
- Expand for names. Hover or tap the expand icon to see the assigned workers and assets by name, with open spots listed as Not assigned.
- Connect it to project status. A card short of its required counts is what puts the whole project into Needs Attention — see What "Needs Attention" means on a project.
- Adjust the target. Change Total Workers or Total Assets in the Edit Assignment drawer if the day's actual needs change.
Use cases
- Fast staffing scan: read counts across a project's row to see which days still need people or equipment without opening every card.
- Prioritizing gaps: compare counts across several cards to decide which one to fill first.
Troubleshooting
A card shows 0/0 — what does that mean? No required count has been set for that card, so there's nothing to compare assigned resources against. Set Total Workers or Total Assets in the drawer if you want the card to track a target.
The count doesn't match how many names I see when I expand the card. Recheck both numbers — the first number is always how many are actually assigned, and the second is the required total. If they still don't match what you expect, confirm the required count was set correctly.
