The List tab
The tab is divided into three different sections. To the left there is a section containing settings that can be configured for the list. To the right you will see a list containing all the information about the loading plan according to the settings made. At the bottom of the window there is a Total section.
The list is always grouped by Responsible for activity and it displays the persons responsible selected under the Selection tab or under the Settings heading in the section to the left. In the list you can expand the rows by using the button at the beginning of the row. This makes more detailed information available, for example, which activities form the basis for the loading. By making the list possible to update, it is also possible to change the planned start dates and finish dates for the activities. This is is done by clicking the button
on the toolbar and then clicking the button
in the Activity info column. Please note! Remember to save in the procedure after you have made you changes.
Navigation buttons
You find the following buttons under the chart/list which you can use to navigate:
- First period with loading
– This button takes you back in time to the first period in the chart/list where loading exists.
- Ten periods back in time
– This button takes you back ten periods in time from today's period. You can then use the button again to go another ten periods back in time.
- One period back in time
– This button moves the focus back one period at a time.
- Today
– Click this button in order to return to the red line that marks today’s date on the time axis.
- One period ahead
– This button moves the focus ahead, one period at a time.
- Ten periods ahead in time
– This button takes you ten periods ahead in time from today's period. You can then use the button again to go another ten periods ahead in time.
- Last period with loading
– This button takes you ahead in time to the last period in the chart/list where loading exists.
Under the row of navigation buttons there is also a split function that can be used to change the size of the sections in the procedure window with the cursor.
Total
In the table under the chart/list you will see total loading information for each day/week/month, depending on your configured settings. The total follows the periods displayed above in the chart/list.
The values that are always shown, regardless of other settings, are Capacity (%), Total loading (hrs), Difference per period (hrs), Load (%) and Accumulated difference (hrs).
Under Capacity, you can see one row for each data type that you have chosen to section by. If you, for example, have chosen to section by project, one row per project that you have chosen/selected is shown. You will only see rows for what is displayed in the loading chart. If you, for example, chose not to display the loading for project X, it means that you will also not see a row for that project. If you choose to use sectioning, one color is displayed as the background color for each data type (the same color as in the bars). If you selected None for the sectioning, the colorful row will not be displayed but only the total loading along with the capacity.
Difference refers to the difference between the Capacity and Total loading. The Load (%) is the percentage of the capacity that is occupied (loading divided by capacity). The Accumulated diff. (hrs) shows the difference in number of hours between the capacity and the loading (taking previous periods into consideration).
Directly above this table you can see Total lag (loading in the past) and Total horizon (loading in the flexible future). The totals that are displayed here also include loading outside the period of time (11 periods), and therefore, they are not displayed as separate columns in the chart.
