2. For With Projects Mode: Schedule of all projects. — Schedule of Projects window

3. For Without Projects Mode: Schedule of all client jobs. — Schedule of Client Jobs window

Projects (With Projects Mode only)

General issues on schedules

On the left panel of any Schedule tab the names of the jobs or projects (depending on the particular Schedule) are displayed. The schedules are represented in the form of horizontal bars, spanning through a grid in which each column represents a certain time unit (hour, 8 hours, 12 hours or day).

Example:

schedule_captions

The color of the schedule bar represents the status of the process it displays:

	Red frame marks that deadline for the process was in the past.
	Blue frame marks that deadline for the process is later today.
	Green frame marks that deadline for the process is in the future.
	The process is not/was not finished in time. The red fragment indicates overdue time
	Red dots in the end/in the beginning of the process bar indicates that some process fragment is beyond the currently selected schedule period.

Note: Status colors can be changed on the Personal Settings > Colors: Status tab.

Note: Double-click on the column representing the job to open Edit Job window for this job.

Schedules are displayed for certain period. To specify the period you want to be displayed, use Selected Period drop-down lists (select two dates: from-to). To apply the selected time period click Apply button.

Thus only schedules which fall between the two assigned dates will be displayed.

The column scale of the calendar can be 1 day, 12 hours, 8 hours or 1 hour.
