As with any matrix page in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the fields in the Matrix Options FastTab filter the information in the matrix lines. The fields in the Prod. Order Resource Plan page are described in the following table.
| FastTab | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Matrix Options | View by | Filters the data in the matrix lines based on: - Shift: matrix lines are segmented by the shift information, including day, date and times. - Time periods: matrix lines are segmented by the Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year. - Accounting Period: matrix lines are segmented by accounting periods. |

Choosing this option opens a dialog confirming the selection because calculation can be time-consuming. - Open Hours vs. Available Resource Hours: segmented matrix lines show hours without resource allocation versus the number of resource hours that are still available for scheduling.
