Configure bar labels in the VPS

The bar lables in the VPS provide further information on the follwing items of your production schedule:

• Operations in the Production View
• Operations in the Capacity View

In the picture below, the bar label contains the production order number and the operation number, separated by "|":

You can define which information appears on the item bar label by opening the "Setup" dialog, selecting "Actions," and then choosing "Configurations."

In the "View – Select Label" dialog, choose the item and/or view for which you want to customize the bar label.
 

The “Edit – Define Configuration” dialog pops up:

Here you can add, insert, edit, and delete fields as well as change their order. You can select the desired table name and field name from your Dynamics 365 BC data by clicking “…” 

Formatting the labels

Separate the field contents by a line break, a blank or a “|” by selecting the according separator from the  “VPS Format Strings”  table.

The separators can be enhanced using the new “Extendible Bar Text Separator” function, which must be implemented by a partner. Please contact us for further information.
