NA | NA | Introduction to Graphical Scheduler |
Graphical Scheduler (GS) is exactly what the name suggest. It represents the same information that is displayed in Planning Order, but in graphical format. Functionally, it displays the allotment of tasks to each resource (Crew) added to the Order, displayed in a calendar format. You can open multiple orders at a time.
You can view the following in the time bar.
Order Bookings
The GS window has two sections:
Orders (upper section): Lists all the Orders and the labor positions added to the order.
Crew (lower section): Lists the crews available in the system.

By default, when the user opens the order, the Grouping is based on the Order ID. To change it to Order description, please contact Support.
The Expand/Collapse works of the order description if it is grouped.
When the grouping is made for any of the column (Order ID/Order Description/Positions), the count of the booking lines grouped displays in prefixed manner as per the new enhancement instead of suffixed which was the previous functionality. This is applicable for all the three columns i.e. Order ID/Order Description/Positions.
