Gantt view legend

The Scheduler application shows work record information in different colors in the Gantt view.

Explanation of colors in the Gantt view

The following tables indicate what each color represents in the Scheduler application.

Work records in the Scheduler application

The color of your work records can reflect their status or their work priority. By default, they reflect work record status. The following colors represent work record status in the Activity chart:

Color Work record status
blue block
WAPPR
light blue block
APPR, INPRG, WSCH, WMATL, WPCOND
Gray block
COMP, CLOSE, CAN

To make the color of your work records reflect their work priority, enter a new global system property in the System Properties application called skd.usestatuscolors and set the value to TRUE. The work records are then color-coded by priority and not status.

The following colors represent work record priority in the Activity chart:

Color Work record priority
blue block
1 - 5
light blue block
6 - 10

The following visual elements indicate date constraint violations in the Activity chart:

Visual element Date constraint violations
- - - - - (dashed line) A red vertical dashed line indicates date constraints on the work record.
red block
Indicates that the scheduled date of the work record is in violation of date constraints.

Preventive maintenance forecasts in the Scheduler application

The following colors represent how preventive maintenance (PM) forecasts appear in the Activity chart:

Color Description
light orange block
An orange line indicates the current date.
blue block
Indicates a PM forecast segment that can be moved in the Gantt view.
Gray block
Indicates a PM forecast segment that cannot be moved in the Gantt view. Forecast segments can be uneditable for the following reasons:
  • The forecast is locked.
  • The forecast segment is awaiting reforecast.
  • The forecast segment is not the first record in the forecast.

This color also indicates an overlap in forecast segments. For example, if a job plan duration spans several days, but the PM frequency is every day, the segments overlap in the Gantt view.

dark orange block
Indicates that the PM segment was edited.
green block
Indicates that no job plan duration is specified on the PM record, and so a default duration of one hour shows in the Gantt view.
red block
Indicates that this forecast segment is awaiting reforecast.

Assignment records in the Graphical Assignment application

The color of assignment records in the Graphical Assignment application reflect assignment status:
Color Description
gold block
Indicates that the work requirement that is unassigned.
dark green block
Indicates that the work is assigned to a labor or crew resource.
red block
Indicates the labor or crew resource that you assigned the work to does not meet the craft and skill requirements of the work.
dark blue block
Indicates that the assignment was interrupted.
gray block
Indicates that the assignment is complete.

Craft, crew types, and rotating tools in the Scheduler application

Resources appear in the lower right portion of the Gantt view, in the resource chart. In the Scheduler application, the colors that are associated with labor and crew resources in the Gantt view are assigned dynamically, based on the order in which the crafts appear. There are 18 colors defined in the skdviewer.properties file, but you can add more if necessary. You can also edit the order in which the colors appear in the resource chart. If your schedule includes more than 18 crafts, colors are used multiple times.

Labor and crew availability in the Graphical Assignment application

Labor and crew availability is shown as follows:
Color Description
white block
Indicates that the labor or crew is available during the shift.
light gray block
Indicates non-work time for the labor or crew, due to their work calendar, or a break in the shift.
gray block
Indicates that the labor or crew has an existing assignment.
gold block
Indicates that the labor or crew is unavailable for work due to modified availability, like sick or vacation time.

Other resource availability

Other resources, like asset, location, item, and tool availability are displayed as follows:
Color Description
gold block
Indicates the calendar of the asset or location.
green block
Indicates the maintenance schedule of the asset or location.
red block
Indicates the operational schedule of the asset or location.
green block
Indicates that the item or tool is available.
gold block
If the work record is in WAPPR status, indicates that the item or tool is partially available, and can be reserved. If the work record in not in WAPPR status, indicates that a soft reservation has been made for this tool or item.
red block
Indicates that the item or tool is unavailable.

Modifying colors

The values in the skdviewer.properties file define what each color represents in the Gantt view. You can modify the default settings by adding a new global system property in the System Properties application.
