Solutions Schedule Object Details

The Schedule Area offers developers and end-users an intuitive Gantt style, drag and drop area for planning, scheduling and Allocating multiple resources grouped and organized as required across various time lines and time-period presentations.

When managing resources across domains and with varying time tables there is a significant advantage offered by Solutions Schedule Enterprise Edition - being able to present multiple planning boards each with differing time scales and schedule period spans (days, weeks etc.) - and all in one view that also allows dragging and dropping between the schedule objects for increased efficiency.

Within the Schedule Area there are a number of objects that offer fine grained interaction enhancing the accuracy of resource allocations:

Notes - are stationary visual objects in the schedule. Tool tips with information about the note are displayed when the mouse hovers over the Note icon. Notes can be used to draw attention to important aspects of a schedule.

Line Arrows - are images placed at the start or end of a schedule item notifying the end-user that other tasks have been scheduled that are not within the viewable schedule area.

Guide Lines - are vertical lines within the schedule area for representing a critical point in time and also to help align time bars accurately.

Current Time Line - is a vertical line drawn in the schedule area representing the current time of day. The Current Time Offset property can be used to display the line in different time zones.

Dead Zones - set specific areas of the schedule where activities cannot be set - mouse actions are not allowed to create or move time bars in a dead zone.

Edit Modes - extend or restrict the CRUD aspects of Solutions Schedule .NET. There are seven specific edits modes: Edit, Erase, Select, Link, Unlink, Split and Guideline, which can be presented via the Edit Modes Toolbar object.

List Guide - when working with large planning boards having thousands of resources and exponential allocations, the List Guide offers a high degree of accuracy especially when the ListView / TreeView is not in view.

Multi Column LIstView / TreeView Object Details

Solutions Schedule .NET offers two operational modes for displaying Resources - a traditional multi - column List View, as well, a Tree View:
