# Plan your day

> The HomeBase rows that tell you what to fix before your crews roll out

## What this is

Before your crews leave, HomeBase tells you what's worth a minute of your time: a job nobody's driving to, a day that runs past the crew's end time, and a route that could be shorter. These sit as rows in the **Action needed** section of [HomeBase](/getting-started/homebase), each one a tap away from the screen that fixes it.

## Which day is being planned

ProBase plans **today** until 6:00 PM, then switches to **tomorrow**. The idea is simple: in the morning you're fixing the day you're about to drive, and by the evening you're setting up the next one. You never have to tell it which day you mean.

## The rows, in order

The rows always appear in the same order — blockers first, then how the day fits, then what you could save. They're never sorted by when something changed, so you learn where to look.

### Jobs with no crew

A count of the jobs on the planned day that nobody is assigned to, with **Assign a crew** underneath. Tap it to open [Jobs that need a crew](/scheduling/jobs-without-assigned-crew) scoped to that day, where you can hand them out one at a time or let ProBase assign and route them all at once.

This row only appears on teams with more than one crew — with a single crew, new work is assigned automatically.

### How the day fits

*"Tuesday runs 47 min past 5:00 PM"* — the crew's planned work and driving add up to more than the hours you gave them. Underneath is the fix ProBase thinks will help:

* **Reorder the stops** — a better order would bring the day back inside the hours. Opens [Reorder stops](/routes/reordering-routes) for that crew.
* **Move work to another crew** — no reordering can make this day fit, so the work needs to go somewhere else. Opens [Rebalance this day](/routes/rebalancing-the-day).

A crew with no **End time** saved is never warned — you haven't told ProBase when the day is supposed to finish, so it has nothing to measure against. See [Working hours](/getting-started/adding-crews#working-hours).

### Save about 40 min of driving

What reordering that crew's route would save. Tap the row and the [Optimize route](/routes/optimizing-routes) preview opens for that crew and starts working the day out.

ProBase doesn't calculate this in advance — it works it out when you open HomeBase. While it's thinking, the row reads *"Working out what optimizing would save…"*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/OUMhLIcs46C29dAP/images/probase/plan-your-day/05-the-saving-figure-430.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=OUMhLIcs46C29dAP&q=85&s=ab535d4ecb7cdcf7139b994d13ff22ea" alt="The saving figure once it lands" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/plan-your-day/05-the-saving-figure-430.png" />

If ProBase can't work a figure out, the row reads *"Your routes haven't been optimized yet."* and still takes you to the preview. If the route is already the best order, there's nothing to save and no row at all.

<Note>
  Once you've applied an optimization — or told ProBase to **Keep current route** — that crew's day stops being offered again, until the stops on it change. A day you've already reviewed isn't nagged about.
</Note>

## More than three rows

Only the first three rows show. Anything beyond that collapses behind **Show N more**; tap it to see the rest, and **Show fewer** to fold them away again.

## When nothing is wrong

If there's nothing to fix, the rows are replaced by a single line summarising the day — *"Today's set — 9 stops, 6:30 AM to 3:10 PM."* (or *"Tomorrow's set"* after six in the evening).

## Which crew a row is about

On a team with more than one crew, each crew row carries that crew's colour dot and names the crew in its own line — *"Alex · reorder the stops"*. One problem on two crews is two rows, so you always know who you're fixing. On a single-crew team the crew name is left out.

<Note>
  Crew rows only appear to people whose role lets them plan routes, and only for the crews they're allowed to plan for. See [Roles and permissions](/team/roles-and-permissions).
</Note>

## Next steps

* [Optimize a route](/routes/optimizing-routes) — review and apply a better stop order
* [Rebalance the day](/routes/rebalancing-the-day) — move work between crews
* [Jobs that need a crew](/scheduling/jobs-without-assigned-crew) — hand out unassigned work
* [Daily crew schedules](/routes/daily-crew-schedules) — the same warnings, on the day itself
