Drag & drop tasks

Operations can easily be scheduled and rescheduled interactively by drag & drop.

Interactions in both views

Move operations along the time scale by drag & drop

To schedule an operation, simply move it horizontally along the time scale—either in the Job View or the Resource View. This reschedules the operation to be executed at a different point in time.

When you move a job task or job planning line in the Job View, all subordinate operations will automatically shift accordingly, maintaining their relative positions in the schedule.

Interactions in the Job View

Allocate a resource to a job task

By selecting “Toggle Creation Mode” in the Job View (by clicking the "View" item of the "Actions" menu), the VJS displays a list of your resources. You can interactively allocate a resource by dragging it from the list to the chart, thus creating a new job planning line. An orange “phantom” bar and an info window indicate where and when the new job planning line will be placed if you release the mouse button.

Interactions in the Resource View

Assign an operation to a resource

By selecting “Toggle Creation Mode” in the Resource View (by clicking the "View" item of the "Actions" menu), the VJS displays a list with all your jobs, job planning lines, and job tasks. You can interactively allocate a job task to a resource by dragging it from the list to the chart. An orange “phantom” bar and an info window indicate where and when the new job planning line will be placed if you release the mouse button.

Assign an operation to another resource

In the Resource View, operations can also be moved vertically to assign them to a different resource. As a result, the operation will be carried out by the resource it was moved to.
