The bar graph will include all jobs that affect the load (including jobs that are on any type of Hold), so users are not misled about the available capacity.

To display the detail click on the bar within the BLUE and the detail information for that date will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. The WOs display at the bottom of the screen are sorted by complete date (disregarding the time). User may sort the display at the bottom of the screen, by depressing any of the Header titles. The GREEN on the bar means NO capacity and the RED on the bar means over capacity.
A drill down to the Production Schedule module is available within this screen.

Note: The graph and the grid may get out of synchronization. If that happens simply click on the “3D/2D” button. The graph button will work also, but may take longer because it will go through the whole process of collecting the data again.
