Click on…		if you want to…
	New	The current plan is cleared completely. It is possible to keep master data. Save the former plan with the functions Save or Save as before “New” is selected in order not to lose data.
	Open..	Load an already saved plan into memory. The current plan is lost unless you choose to first save it.
	Save..	Save the current plan with the existing file name. All master data and all transactional data is saved to a file which can be re-loaded at any time. You can enable automatic saving of the plan with a fixed time interval. This function can be enabled/disabled in Functions->Settings->General. Note that the client automatically reloads the last plan saved at startup.
	Save as	Save the current plan with a new file name. Specifying a different file name will allow you to work with different versions of the same production plan (saving a snapshot)
	Read from another plan	Import master and transactional data from another ROB-EX Scheduler client into the existing production plan. Using this function, parts from another plan can be imported into the current plan. It is also a convinient function to use when migrating a single user plan into a Multiuser server setup. Important: Please observe that by default record ID’s are only maintained for Resources and Master operations. For all other objects new record ID’s are generated according to the id counter settings of the plan you are reading into. If you as an example loads a Project with id X, then the resulting loaded project will have a record id of Y. This behavior may be altered using GanttSetup.properties readFromOtherPlan.keepExistingProductionOrderIds=false. The result of this setting, is that Production Order id’s of the original plan are kept. To use this function: Select “Read from another plan” from the Files menu. Select “Choose file” and select the plan to be imported. Put a check mark next to the parts of the plan to be imported. See footnote1 Pres the import button   If as an example Project where selected to be imported, then Projects and its operations are imported into the plan using the dates from the imported plan. If the first operation in the project must be started “today” put a check mark in the field “insert today”. The import will now move all operations to start after today (inserted with unlimited capacity).
	Print	View and print a reports. Example reports available: Gantt diagram – Print the Gantt chart as it looks like in the moment the function is selected Order status – Shows the status of each operation in the selected time interval grouped by orders Job list – Shows operations in the selected time interval grouped by resource.   In the fields Start date end End date enter the time interval for the reports. Use the function “New page for every group” if you want one page for each order or resource. Use the “Filter” function if you want only a part of resources to be shown in the Job list. The Filter function uses the views from the Gantt chart.
	Print html report	Generate a html report. The following reports are available: Job list (Gantt) – Print a job list in Gantt form. Job list (Table) – Print a job list in table form Project job list (Gantt) – Print a project job list in Gantt form.   Select to save the reports to a shared file server in order to make them viewable from any web-browser. Please refer to chapter HTML reports.
	Import	Import data. In the Tool bar you will find a shortcut to import of text- or xml-files. Please refer to the chapters Integration – CSV integration for further information. Only with ROB-EX integration modules.
	Export	Export data. In the Tool bar you will find a shortcut toexport of text- or xml-files. Please refer to the chapters Integration – CSV integration for further information.
*	Exit	Close the program.
	Latest opened files	Show the latest files you have been working with. The maximum number of files can be set in menu Functions – Settings – General – Standard
