Assign Plot Setting and Sorting Options for the Scenario
Explanation
Use this activity to assign plot setting and sorting options for the objects in a selected user defined scenario or pre-defined scenario.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that at least one user defined scenario is defined in order to assign plot settings and sort orders.
System Effects
Once a plot setting is assigned to a scenario, that plot setting will be used when the scenario is plotted on the Gantt Chart.
If sorting options are defined for a scenario, objects in the scenario are sorted based on the sort criteria once plotted.

Procedure
- Right-click on a required pre-defined scenario or user defined scenario.
- On the Show contents Tab, select preferred plot setting for the selected scenario using the
Assigned Plot Setting list.
Note: All the plot settings that are defined in Tools > Setting > Plot settings will be displayed in the Assigned Plot Setting list.
- Click New to define the first sort criteria. The List of Values window opens.
- From the list of values displayed, select the attribute which you prefer to use as the first sort criteria.
Note: If there is more than one type of object in a user defined scenario, then attributes that are common to all objects will be available to select
as the sort criteria when sorting (e.g. if
a scenario consists of a few shop orders and a few resource breaks, then only 4 attributes i.e,
Need Date, EPST, Name and Class Name are available to be used as
the sort criteria).
- Select the Sort Type as Ascending or Descending for the first sort
criteria. The objects in the scenario will be sorted accordingly.
- Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 any number of times to define the next sort criteria.
