The easiest way to change Scheduling settings is described below.

HINTS:

  • To have the program calculate fabrication dates based on delivery dates assigned in Order Entry, CAD/Detailing, or Scheduling, use the Number of Days area to specify the desired lead times between detailing, fabrication, and/or delivery. If you want the dates to update when you make a change in Scheduling, be sure to check Automatically Recalculate Dates.
  • In Scheduling, calendar color codes are customizable. However, by default, shifts that are below capacity display in green and shifts that are over capacity display in red. To color-code dates that are near, but not over, capacity, enter a percentage in the Display warning when nearing capacity of field. By default, dates with a total scheduled weight above the warning percentage and below the maximum display in yellow.

Valid Entries: 0 to 99 - a percentage of maximum weight capacity.
