General Graphical Extension Features

As graphical interfaces showing production information, the Graphical Prod. Capacity Planning and Graphical Prod. Order Planning pages have the same general look and usage, with some variations due to the type of information displayed.

Both have the ability to quickly change to different dates and time periods, search for specific resources or tasks, change the appearance of the page, and of course, view the production information using a Gantt chart.

This section provides an overview of how to navigate these pages, change settings, and so on.

Go to Date

The Go to Date field allows you to move to a specific date in the chart.

Zoom to ...

Just below the Go to Date field is the Zoom to ... drop-down, which allows you to change the view to different time periods. The options are Month, Week, Day, Half Day, Hour, Half Hour, and Minute.

Display

Next to the Zoom to Day drop-down in the Graphical Prod. Order Planning page, the Display drop-down allows you to filter the left pane of the chart to show production orders that are using the selected resource. After making a selection, choose the OK button to set the filter.

Search through ...

Next you can search through resources (work or machine centers) or tasks (production orders) in the Graphical Prod. Capacity Planning page or Graphical Prod. Order Planning page, respectively. These are free text fields so you can enter full or partial names of resources or production orders and then press Enter or choose the Search button to find all resources or tasks with the search criteria. The filtered entries can be cleared by choosing the Clear button.
