Would it be possible to have work orders automatically connect directly to the previous activity after they've been scheduled in the planning board by hand, provided the travel time is calculated correctly?
In my opinion, this would be a very welcome improvement to the current planning board.
This is a standard for a number of competing products (Ortec Service Planning, for instance)

Clarification: When a planner manually inserts a work order between two existing bookings on the schedule board, the system should automatically move the subsequent bookings forward in time to prevent overlap, while still respecting travel time calculations and working hours.This behavior is common in route-based service planning tools (e.g., Ortec Service Planning) and would significantly reduce manual adjustment effort for planners working with inspection or recurring field activities.The current schedule board protects existing bookings and does not resequence activities, which makes manual insertion of jobs inefficient in route-based planning scenarios.
