The Job View

Elements and symbols in the Job View

Calendar

A calendar in the background of the Gantt chart shows weekends in grey and working times in white. 

Bars

Each job, job task, and job planning line is represented by a bar; the color of the job planning line bars depends on the job's category

• Job – the green  line beneath the bar showing the job’s progress

• Job task line - the number beneath the bar showing the task’s progress

• Job Planning Line - the grey dot indicating a change not having been saved yet, the orange frame highlighting the currently marked task.

• Resource summary bar – can be hidden by the corresponding option in the “User setup” dialog

Categories

In the Jobs View, categories are distinguished by different colors.

Sorting order

Within a category, jobs and their belonging tasks are sorted in ascending numerical order.

Job planning lines of the "item" type

If you have specific items the timing of which you'd like to specify more precisely, we recommend that you let the VJS visualize and schedule job planning lines using these items. Set this to work on the related item card:

Once activated, the result looks like this:

Operations with a start or end date outside the timeframe:

• The concerned operations are highlighted with a dashed frame
• If a planned date is set for a job planning line, no more capacity is displayed
• When the VJS calculates the length of a job planning line and the bar extends beyond the working area, only the capacity within the defined timeframe is displayed, while the capacity outside this range is disregarded.

• If the VJS calculates the length of a job planning line and the bar is positioned before the start of the working area, it is highlighted with a dashed frame and accompanied by a warning symbol in the Gantt chart table header.
  
  
   
• An average capacity (loaded capacity / loaded days) is used for the days within the time frame.
  • Capacity load before moving the job planning line outside the working area

•  
  • Capacity load after moving the job planning line outside the working area

• If a bar gets moved beyond the end of the timeframe by scheduling, its start date will be set to the last day within the view instead. 

• A warning symbol is shown when a resource without capacities is loaded.
