A stronger foundation for
the way your team works.
Lanes and the unscheduled panel
Bind a lookup to the person or asset and the board grows lanes. Open work waits in the panel; drop it on a person to assign it.
Collision detection on every drop
Two shifts on one person, a shift outside working hours, a missing skill, booked leave. Each check is off, a warning or a block, your choice.
Move many at once
Select several bars and move them by hours, days or weeks, or reassign them to another person in one go. Copy and paste, undo and redo.
Saved to your row
Every drag writes the start, the end and the lookup to your table as it happens, with who made it. Your security roles apply.
Built for size
2,000 people and 20,000 shifts on one board. Only the rows in view are on the page.
Four layouts
Timeline, roster grid,
top-down or agenda.
You choose the layout for each view. Here is the same week as a roster grid: one row per person, one column per day, every job a chip.
Easy to install
Ten minutes from download
to your first drag.
One managed solution, three bindings, no account.

Rostering a team? Chrona Workforce Scheduler installs on top of the board you already have.
Explore Chrona Workforce Scheduler
Auto Schedule, built in
From open work to
a plan you can use.
Select a period and Auto Schedule proposes assignments for its open work against your rules. Three completed runs a day are free.
Mathematical optimisation. Not generative AI. Chrona searches combinations and scores the whole
plan against explicit rules. It keeps the strongest plan found during the run.
1
Set the scope
Auto Schedule uses the selected period, its open work, available people and configured rules. It can start when every shift is still unassigned.
2
Search the options
Chrona scores candidate plans across the period. Required rules take priority; planning goals help compare the options that remain.
3
Keep control
The strongest plan found during the run appears as a proposal on your board. Review each change, then Apply the changes you accept.
Three bindings.
Your table stays yours.
Title, Start and End on a view. A lookup for lanes. Two configuration rows for working hours, time scale, grouping and collision policies.
Title, Start, End
The three required bindings, on any table that has them. Bind them in the view designer's property pane.
Resource, for lanes
A lookup to the person or asset a row belongs to. With it the board grows lanes, the unscheduled panel and collision detection.
The calendar row
Working hours, weekends, the time scale and the time zone, in a Chrona Scheduler Calendar row for your table. Connect creates it.
The view row
Grouping, capacity and the collision policies, in a Chrona Scheduler View row for the view. Edit it in the maker portal under Tables.
What a drag saves
The start, the end and the lookup, written to your row at once. Undo and Redo write back the same way.
The Workforce tables
Skills and roles, availability, demand, shift templates and roster periods arrive with Chrona Workforce Scheduler, around the same board.
Keep Dataverse as
the source of truth.
Nothing is copied and nothing moves. The scheduler is a component on your view, and every setting lives in a row you can open in the maker portal.
What leaves your environment. Only what an Auto Schedule run sends, and you can read that before the
first run. See Security and data.

The real board.
Not a mock-up.
Real Chrona Scheduler captures from a model-driven app, shown with sample data.
The board
People in lanes. Shifts as bars.
Drag a bar to move it, drag its edges to resize it. Open work waits in the unscheduled panel on the right; drop it on a person to assign it.
In your language
Eight languages, out of the box.
English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Italian. The board follows each person’s Power Apps language. Here it is in German.
In your app
Right-click stays yours.
Open record, Chrona’s own actions and the commands your app already has, on the same menu. The scheduler is a component on your view, not a second application.
Ten minutes
Three bindings that matter.
Title, Start and End are required. Resource, a lookup to the person or asset, gives you lanes. Everything else is optional and explained in the bindings page.
Auto Schedule
It shows before it asks.
The Optimize dialog runs a sample before and after, and lists exactly what a real run would send. Try a free sample run connects your environment; there is no sign-up form.
The answer
A proposal, on the same board.
Proposed placements carry a dashed ring, a moved shift leaves a ghost at its old place, and the list names every change. Drop the ones you disagree with, then Apply. Nothing is written before that.

Straight answers
Free, and
built in.
The questions builders ask first.
What is free?
The scheduler, for good, with no account. Auto Schedule includes three completed runs a day per connected environment. Chrona Workforce Scheduler is the paid solution.
How long does it take to install?
About ten minutes: import one managed solution, bind three columns on a view, open the view. No code.
Which languages does it speak?
Eight: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Italian. Each person sees the board in their Power Apps language.
Can it build a roster from unassigned shifts?
Yes. Select a period with open work. Auto Schedule can propose assignments even when no shifts have been assigned yet.
Does a run change Dataverse rows straight away?
No. A run returns a proposal. You review the changes on the board and choose Apply before accepted changes are written.
Can we start without Auto Schedule?
Yes. The scheduler is complete on its own. Select Optimize when you want Auto Schedule to propose a plan.
Your next great plan
starts in your own app.
Start with the free scheduler. Run Auto Schedule when the work demands more.
