Toolbar Settings

Here is a description of the buttons as seen in the toolbar from left to right:

Horizontal Lines

Display horizontal lines between the resources.

Vertical Lines

Display vertical lines between the time intervals as defined by the date-time axis.

Past Highlight

Highlight the past region.

This feature is useful to disinguish past operations from future ones.

Current DateTime Line

Show the current time, which is displayed as a vertical dash line. It will only be seen if the view window contains the current date time.

Time Format

If the operations data comes from a simulation model that uses “0” as the beginning of time you can select relative time and set a new date origin.

Data Rows

With data rows enabled you will see a new row for each resource which will give you some statistical information about the operations contained within a time interval.

The data row has a few options:

• Hide operations: will hide all the operations and only the data rows will be shown
• Align: The numbers can either be left or right aligned
• Include Count: will display the number of operations contained within a time interval (or part thereof)
• Include Duration: will display the total duration of all operations contained within a time interval (or part thereof)

Note:

Any attributes can be included in the data row cells if they contain numeric values

Plot Rows

The plot row has a few options:

• Attrib: Select the attribute you want to see in the plot. The attribute must be a numeric type.
• Type: The plot can either “step” or “line”
• Interval: can either be by time scale (as set by the date time axis) or by operation duration.

Note:

If the Interval is equal to “time scale” the plots will use the same data values that are used in the data rows for the selected attribute.

Example of a line plot:

Hide Empty Resource
