The input fields in the Application Settings section control how the data is displayed in
Scheduler.
Display Setting - When a variant is entered in this field, the saved Display Setting
options will be loaded when the selection is executed. The Edit Display Setting
button can be used to view and edit the selected Display Setting directly from the
selection screen.
Layout - A layout that has been saved for viewing the List Edit report can be entered
here.
Capacity Layout - Allows the user to select a layout that has been saved for viewing the
Resource List in the Planning Board.
Shift Updater Layout - Allows the user to select the layout for the Shift Updater.
Scheduling Date Range - When a date range is entered here, Scheduler will load the
objects within that range (that satisfy any additional search criteria entered). If no dates
are entered, all objects fulfilling the additional search criteria will be loaded.

Capacity Date Range - If no dates are provided here, Scheduler will attempt to calculate
capacities for all dates that are loaded.
Days in the Future/Past - These inputs can be used to pad the Planning Board with
additional days. Days in the Future will display the specified amount of days past the
latest end date of the objects loaded. Days in the Past will display the specified amount
of days prior to the earliest start date of the objects loaded.
When a Scheduling Date Range is entered and

the box is checked, objects scheduled outside of
the date range will be dropped from the data list before Scheduler loads.
Enter Planning Board or Enter List Edit - The option chosen using the radio button will
determine which Scheduler view is displayed first when the selection is executed. Both
views have a button that allows the user to access to the other view without returning to
the selection screen.
Data Selection Tab Options - The checkboxes display the modules that are available to
be loaded into Scheduler. A checked box will make a selection tab visible in the bottom
section of the selection screen.
There are two modules that are loaded into the Scheduler:
 Project Systems

The top right quadrant displays a graphical representation of the Item Details section,
with the dates displayed at the top of the quadrant. Users can perform functions such as
drag and drop and create relationships.
3. Resource List:
 The bottom left quadrant displays the resources assigned to the objects brought
into the Planning Board, which can include work centers, HR resources assigned
to the work centers, and equipment PRTs.
 A user can drill into a work center in standard SAP by double-clicking the row.
 Double clicking an HR resource will take the user to the Shift Updater table for the
work center.
 Double-clicking a column header allows the user to change the layout, as well as
apply a sort.

4. Capacity:
 The lower right quadrant shows the capacity utilisation and available capacity by
work center for each period.
 Capacity utilisation is color-coded using a stoplight system – green indicates
under capacity, yellow is a configurable warning zone, and red indicates over
capacity.
 A grey cell indicates the work center or HR resource is non-working and has no
available hours during that period.
 A white cell indicates the work center or HR resource has not been assigned work
during that period.
 Double-clicking a cell in this section will run the Inspect Resource Capacity report,
which filters the Gantt Chart to display only the objects that make up that selected
capacity period.
