Schedule Views
Production Scheduling shows the same underlying schedule through three lenses. Switch between them with the Schedule View Type toggle in the header (Resource / Order / Flow); each works at the Day, Week, or Month time scale.
For the overall workspace and scheduling logic, see Production Scheduling (Overview).
Resource View
The default, organized by work center — the view for loading machines and spotting overloads.
Gantt board (all work centers)
With All work centers selected, each work center is a row and scheduled operations appear as bars along the timeline. The left Work Center panel stays aligned with the rows and scrolls in sync.
- Schedule — drag a work order from the Unscheduled panel onto a work center row to place it (forward-scheduled from the drop point).
- Reschedule — drag an operation bar to a new time or work center. By default the change cascades to dependent operations so the routing stays in sequence.
- Inspect — click a bar to open a popover with the operation's details and quick reschedule controls.
- Conflict flags — work orders involved in a conflict are marked on the Gantt.
Calendar view (single work center)
Select one work center and the board switches to an hourly calendar for that resource (working hours 08:00–17:00). Drag work orders onto specific hour slots, and drag or edit operations to reschedule. This is the most precise view for a single critical machine.
Operation status colors
- Scheduled — blue
- In Progress — green
- Completed — gray
- Delayed — red
- Locked — orange (cannot be moved)
Order View
Organized by work order — the view for tracking one order's flow end-to-end.
- Each work order is a row; its operations are laid across the timeline.
- Work Center Columns are selectable, so you can focus the board on just the resources you care about (use Show all / Select columns). The Work Order column is resizable.
- Operations can be rescheduled here as well, with the same cascade behavior.
Use Order View when a customer asks "where is my order?" or when you need to confirm a single job moves cleanly through its routing.
Flow Board
A Kanban board for advancing jobs through their lifecycle by drag-and-drop.
Work-order flow
Scheduled work orders are grouped into status lanes — Pending → Issued → In Progress → Complete. Drag a work-order card to the next valid lane to advance it. Invalid transitions are blocked with an explanation (for example, a work order must be Issued before its operations can start).
Operation flow
An operation-level Kanban is also available, with lanes Scheduled → In Progress → Completed → Delayed and Start / Complete buttons on each card. Locked operations can't be moved, and the work order must be issued before its operations can start.
Choosing a view
- Resource — when your question is about machines (what's overloaded, what to load next).
- Order — when your question is about a specific job (is this order on track?).
- Flow — when you're executing and want to push jobs through their status lifecycle.
Tips
- Start in Resource / Week for planning, drop to Resource / Day (calendar) for fine placement on a busy machine.
- In Order View, trim the work-center columns to the ones a job actually uses for a cleaner read.
- Keep cascade on when dragging operations so dependents follow and the routing stays valid.
