Navigation

As a graphical interface that shows production information, the Graphical Operation Scheduling page allows you to quickly change to different dates and time periods, search for specific work centers or production orders, 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 this page, change settings, and so on.

Graphical Operation Scheduling

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.

Search through Tasks

Next you can search through work center groups/work centers or production orders. This is a free text field so you can enter full or partial names of work centers or production orders and then press Enter or choose the Search button to find all sequence work centers or tasks with the search criteria. The filtered entries can be cleared by choosing the Clear button.

Searched tasks can be set with a special color in the Selection Color field in the Sequence Planning FastTab on the Graphical Extension Setup page. A searched task will be shown in this color until the search is cleared. Once cleared, the task reverts to its original color.

Chart Layout

The left pane shows the work center groups and sequence work center (aqua = needs to be rescheduled) and the right pane shows the related scheduled production orders (colors can be used to differentiate between standard orders and those with notifications).
