	Order name	View order name together with the orders The order name is viewed above the order in the Gantt window. The order name is shown as a text above each operation in the Gantt plan. The text can be edited using the function “View layout”. Please refer to chapter The Gantt chart”. The latest setting is saved when ROB-EX is closed.
	Milestone flags	View operations that exceeds milestones. In each operation bar deadline flags are shown warning that the operation with the current position exceeds the deadlines. Deadline flags appear when: M – The operation is planned to start before the materials are available L – The operation is planned to end after time of delivery to the customer The same function may be achieved using Milestone colors The function is also available in the Tool bar.
	Order constraints	View constraints lines on selected orders and operations. The constraints shows relations between all operations in an order, i.e. it is possible to view all operation steps of the selected production order. Valid constraints are shown with black lines. Red constraint indicates that the constraint is broken. I.e. the following operation is planned to start before the planned end of the preceding operation. Using the color mode “Broken constraints” operations having a broken constraint going into it is shown with red color.
	Overlap	A thin red line is shown above operations that are overlapping. Overlapping operations can be shown in details by using the function single resource view.
	Available time	Show or hide the shift calendar for each resource. The shift calendar is shown as available and unavailable time. Unavailable time is displayed as a grey shadow in the background of the Gantt chart. The shift calendar is shown behind/above the operations in the Gantt chart by selecting “Show behind” or “Show above” The resource calendar can be edited in resource calendar.
	Top time axis	Choose to show the calendar outline also the top of the Gantt chart. It is always visible at the buttom
	Workload graph	View or hide the workload graph in the button of the Gantt window. Please refer to chapter The Gantt chart” for further description. This setting can be overwritten by settings on the individual resource views and from material views.
	New material graph	Add a material graph to the currently active material view. Once a material graph is added it must be configured to show a material. Right mouse click in the material graph area and select “Choose material”. Then click again in the material graph area and select what to be shown: Consumption, Purchase and shipment or Inventory. Please refer to chapter Optional modules – BOM for further description. The height of the graph area can be setup in the menu Functions->Settings->General->Materials.
	Show materials for selected operation	Show the BOM-lines for one or more selected operations. The BOM-lines appears as graphs towards the bottom. Select between the following pre-defined views: Inventory Consumption and production Purchase and shipment Consumption Production Shipments Purchases The height of the graphs is selected using the function Functions->Settings->General->Materials. Additional settings may be changed in the sub-menu Settings. The options are: All Producing only – entire order Consuming only – entire order Semifinished only – entire order Copy BOM-line settings to graph *. Applying the setting Copy BOM-line settings to Graph will result in category values to be shown on the material graphs if any exist. If a category has been set but no value then null will be shown. If no category has been set then the field will not be shown. If you apply a category and a category value to a BOM-line and then afterwards remove the category from the available categories under the material settings, the values will still be there and be shown on the graph but you will not be able to edit them.
	Show date now	View the current time as a red vertical line in the Gantt chart. Use the function “Go to now” (F6) in the toolbar to move the plan to “now”.
	Detail panel – Panel	With the function activated you will see a detail panel below the tool bar. Select an operation in the Gantt chart to view details for the different levels: Project – the top line (only with Project license) Order – the second line Operation – the bottom line Operation text – an extra text field is shown at the very bottom of the detail panel, allowing operation text to be edited. The detail panel is further described in chapter Detail panel.
	Project	View the orders in a project view. In the project view, select a project in the project list in the detail panel. In the project view the production orders are shown in the left side of the project list. Please refer to chapter Optional modules – Project for further information. Only with ROB-EX Scheduler Project module
	Coloring	View operations according to the selected function. Use Gantt chart coloring to highlight just the information you are looking for: Milestone Project Order Route Operation Operation status Progress Operation locked Broken constraints Material shortage Shelf life Product family Series Archive Account Producing material stock Each function is described in more detail on the following rows. The coloring functions are also available in the Tool Bar.
	Horizon	Select the horizon to be viewed in the Gantt chart. It is possible to view the permanent horizons: 24 hours, 10 days and 31 days. The functions are also available in the Tool bar. Using the Zoom function it is also possible to change the horizon. Please refer to chapter Tool Bar for further instructions. Enter manually the number of days of the horizon, using the function “Enter manually”. E.g. enter “60” if you want to view the plan with a horizon of 60 days.
	Move period	View the start of the Gantt chart to a previous or subsequent period The functions are also available in the Tool Bar. It is possible to select between the following: F1 – Long backward The view moves back a long period. If the horizon 10 days, you move one week at a time. F2 – Short backward The view moves back a short period. If the horizon 10 days, you move one day at a time. F6 – Now Today is shown as the first day in the plan. F3 – Short forward The view moves forward a short period. Is the horizon 10 days, you move one day at a time. F4 – Long forward The view moves back a long period. If the horizon 10 days, you move one week at a time.
	Full screen	View the ROB-EX Scheduler window without the title line in the top of the window. Having this function active it is not possible to minimize the window or use the windows process line.
