Planning

Overview

This page contains the scheduling for all approved work within the facility. It is designed for resource allocation and management, monitoring job progress, timelines, and departmental man-hours.

The page features four synchronized views that interact with each other, each serving a specific purpose: Filters, Table View, Gantt Chart, and Departments Hours.

Planning filters section
  • up: FILTERS
  • left: TABLE VIEW
  • right: GANTT CHART
  • down: DEPARTMENTS HOURS

You can expand or collapse these sections by moving the dividers between them.

Filters

In addition to the standard filters, two unique options are available in this section:

Save icon
  • Filter Tasks by Date: When active, it displays only specific tasks within the selected date range. When inactive, it shows the entire job or joblist associated with those tasks.
Save icon
  • Zoom: This filter is dedicated exclusively to adjusting the time scale of the Gantt Chart.

The left side of the planning interface displays information in a hierarchical structure.

Dates must be set at the Task level; the dates for Jobs, Joblists, and Boats are automatically calculated based on their underlying tasks.
