Fields

This tab contains:

The Show area

Names: Select this check box to plot operation names on operation objects. Clear it to hide the operation names.

Icons: Select this check box to plot operation icons on operation objects with time segments large enough to display an icon. Clear it to hide the icons. That will allow more room for other information to be shown within the blocks.

Setup Times: Select this check box to show the setup time associated with an operation plotted as a segment marked with diagonal hatch marks. Clear it to show the setup time as part of the whole operation time.

Splitted: Select this check box to plot operations as connected segments of time during available time. Clear it to plot operations as a block of time covering unavailable time as well as available time.

Tardy Line: Select this check box to plot tardy operations with a red line. Clear it to hide the tardy information.

Planned Line: Select this check box to plot planned operations with a light green line. Clear it to hide the planned information.

Operations Needing Reschedule: Select this check box to plot  operations that needs rescheduling with a light blue color. Clear it to hide the needs rescheduling-information. (N/A for Advanced Planning Board)

Infinite Scheduled Operations: Select this check box to highlight orders, including their associated objects, that have been scheduled by the shop order infinite scheduler. The color used to highlight them is light blue. (N/A for Maintenance Planning Board)


The Operation Structures area

Use this area to define whether operations that are in Planned or Tardy state should be indicated on the bar that represents entire orders or order structures.

Planned Line: Select this check box to show how much of an order's duration is taken up by operations in Planned state. This is indicated by a green line on the bar that represents the entire order or order structure on the Gantt chart. A planned operation is one that meets its need date and is in either Scheduled, Released, Partially Reported or Reported state.

Tardy Line: Select this check box to show how much of an order's duration is taken up by operations that are tardy. This is indicated by a red line on the bar that represents the entire order or order structure on the Gantt chart. A tardy operation is one that will not meet its need date and is in either Scheduled, Released, Partially Reported or Reported state. For MPB a tardy operation is one that will not meet its requested finish date and is in either Scheduled, Firm Planned, Work Started or Needs Rescheduling

Infinite Schedule Line: Select this check box to show how much of an order's duration is taken up by operations that have been scheduled by the shop order infinite scheduler. This is indicated by a light blue line on the bar that represents the entire order or order structure on the Gantt chart. (N/A for Maintenance Planning Board)


The Maintenance Object Accessibility area (Only available for MPB)

Work Orders: Select this check box to show a load-graph above the object accessibility-line in the Gantt chart where the scheduled work orders are shown. The load graph will show all the scheduled work orders that are planned on that specific object that the object accessibility line is plotted for.

Preventive Maintenance: Select this check box to show a load-graph above the object  accessibility-line in the Gantt chart where the scheduled PM action occurrences are shown. The load graph will show all the scheduled PM action occurrences that are planned on that specific object that the object  accessibility line is plotted for.
