NOC Calendar

Sat Oct 25 12:14:26 UTC 2014

The readability of this would depended entirely on  your ticket volume. 

What we have run into is that once you get to a point where you have more than 10-15 events per day that you are tracking, then the large screen display becomes pretty useless if you want to show them all. 

I attached a weeks worth of display from our ticketing system calendar for reference, and this is only the maintenance tickets displayed in this view. 

You would need to aggregate them to a simple number happening that day to show more than a week at a time if you are a high volume shop.

There is also a “status page” where well known ongoing issues (e.g.: cable cuts) can be posted.  This is on the big screens, so people coming on-shift can see them as they sit down.
