The mechanics are assigned colors in the 'Edit mechanics' function in SMCP. There are 1024 choices of colors, but you should assign the colors with the highest contrast to make it obvious on the map display which are different mechanics.
We've added a new feature to the 'Map Display' in the SMCP Truck Scheduling function: each mechanic will have an individualized color for the icons that indicate his jobs for the day. So it's now easy to tell, at a single glance, which jobs are scheduled for which mechanics, and also to where each mechanic is being routed for the day. (See the sample screen below.)
The icon is now a stick figure - if the time for the job has NOT YET BEEN ENTERED, the stick figure appears WITH a wrench (indicating that the mechanic is still not 'finished'.) If the time for the job HAS been entered, the icon will appear as a stick figure WITHOUT the wrench (indicating that the mechanic is 'finished'.) There is a button in the upper right of the map display labeled 'Legend' - click that button to see the legend showing which mechanic is which color.
