You can use several shortcuts in the Gantt view to make
scheduling and assigning work easier.
Right-click options
You can right-click on
most areas of the Gantt view to see a list of actions that you can
perform on the selected records. The right-click options include the
following:
- From the activity table, right-click on the work record number
to modify the work record. For example, you can change the status
of the record or create a job plan for it.
- From the activity table or chart, right-click on the work description
to highlight the work in the Gantt view. You can expand the work hierarchy,
or move the work to another hour or day.
- From the resource table, right-click to see where a labor or resource
is already assigned, see their craft and skill level, or change their
availability. You can also choose to show or hide the Y axis and the
color legend in the resource chart.
- From the resource table, you can split work into multiple segments,
or create or delete an assignment.
Zoom in on selected work
You can show work
segments in the Gantt view by double-clicking the work in the activity
table.
Tile and simple layout
In the resource table,
you can toggle back and forth between a tile and simple layout for
crafts. Tile layout shows every craft requirement as its own segment,
and gives a more accurate display of the amount of work to be assigned
to a particular craft. Simple layout overlays the work segments into
a group, saving room in the resource table. You can separate out the
segments by dragging them.
Resource Filter
Shows you only the labor and
crew resources that are required for the selected work records.
