Claim:
A computer-implemented method for providing an indication of hightime, the method comprising computer-implemented operations for: displaying, by a computer having a processors and a memory, a graphical user interface comprising a grid having a first row, a second row, and a hightime column, the first row corresponding to a first turf, the second row corresponding to a second turf, the graphical user interface comprising a first cell and a second cell under the hightime column, the first cell corresponding to the first row and the first turf, the second cell corresponding to the second row and the second turf; determining, by the computer, whether at least one of a plurality of technicians exceeds an allotted time with which to complete a job; in response to determining that at least one of the plurality of technicians exceeds the allotted time, incrementing, by the computer, (a) a first numeric value when the at least one of the plurality of technicians that exceeds the allotted time is assigned to the first turf and (b) a second numeric value when the at least one of the plurality of technicians that exceeds the allowed time is assigned to the second turf; displaying, by the computer, the first numeric value within the first cell of the graphical user interface; and displaying, by the computer, the second numeric value within the second cell of the graphical user interface, wherein the first cell displays a first highlight when the first numeric indicator indicates that none of the plurality of technicians assigned to the first turf exceeds the allotted time; wherein the first cell displays a second highlight when the first numeric indicator indicates that at least one of the plurality of technicians assigned to the first turf exceeds the allotted time: wherein the second cell displays the first highlight when the second numeric indicator indicates that none of the plurality of technicians assigned to the second turf exceeds the allotted time; and wherein the second cell displays the second highlight when the second numeric indicator indicates that at least one of the plurality of technicians assigned to the second turf exceeds the allotted time.
