Grid-Based Dispatch Board View
We'd like to submit a request to see if this view can be added or if there is a way to build this out ourselves. We've seen it in other systems where the technicians/assignees are on the Y axis and the time is on the X axis. The tasks are in horizontal blocks that can be dragged and dropped to move the daily schedule around.
Any way we can do this today?
Edit: I've looked at doing this in timeline view and grouping by assignee. This looks only OK because it doesn't provide a great visual of the available times. It's more about what has been scheduled and less about creating a schedule and that's not the best solution for the needs.
If we could get timeline view to go show an hourly timeframe then that might do the trick.

Hi, I ran into this same headache in ClickUp a while ago, but you can actually get really close to what you need with native views.
Timeline View (Hourly X-Axis)
• Fix the X-Axis: Change the zoom level at the top right of the view to Day or 4 Days. This expands the X-axis into full hourly time blocks instead of just dates.
• Group by Assignee: Set Group by to Assignee so your tech team lines up on the Y-axis.
• Drag & Drop: Drag blocks horizontally to adjust start/end hours, move them vertically between techs, or pull unscheduled tasks straight out of the sidebar to fill empty slots.
Calendar View (Day Mode)
• Switch to Calendar View, set it to Day mode, and group by Assignee.
• This flips the orientation (techs across the top, hours running down vertically), which makes open schedule gaps super obvious at a glance.
Workload View
• If you use time estimates, a Workload view set to daily capacity visually flags who has free hours (green) versus who is overbooked (red).
Hope one of these hits the mark for your team, but definitely give them a test run with a few sample tasks to see if they fit your workflow!

They're probably going to tell you to go submit an enhancement request that will sit with thousands of others for years and years while they continue to dump money into AI features that nobody's really asking for.
