Overview
When you install the connectorConnectorAn integration that links Dime.Scheduler to a back-office system, routing data in and scheduling decisions back out., Business Central gains the machinery it needs to talk to Dime.Scheduler, but the footprint is deliberately small. The extension adds its own tables, pages and actions, and where it touches standard BC objects it only bolts on a button or a field. It never rewrites how a standard table behaves, so your existing setup keeps working exactly as before.
The pages that follow walk through what the connector brings. Most of these additions are plumbing the connector uses internally: you rarely interact with them directly, and unless an earlier section called one out, you don't need to know how it works to plan day to day.

Updated artifacts
Where the connector extends standard BC, it stays minimal: the Send record button is how you push a record across, while Repair status and Job planning line budget are fields the connector adds to track state.
