This provides the ability to add a document related to a job order or a product. When a job order document is attached, a paperclip icon is displayed in this column.

Materials?

Provides a visual indicator as to whether materials are available at the start date of the job order.

Operations?

This round coloured symbol indicates if there is adequate information for Visual APS to schedule the operation or order. 

•              Green = Valid for scheduling

•              Red = Cannot be scheduled

•              Yellow = Does not need to be scheduled

•              Grey = Needs to be validated (by clicking on the line)

Scheduled?

This column is blank if an order is not scheduled. When scheduled, the graphic may be;

•              Thumbs up with yellow cuff = scheduled/unsaved

•              Thumbs up with green cuff = scheduled / saved

•              Warning sign = partial scheduling of some operations

Pinned?

Provides a visual indicator if the job order has been pinned. This job order can no longer be moved unless the pin is removed first.

Marker

Markers appear as user defined visual indicators that can be set against job orders. Markers can be colour coded and used for sorting and filtering purposes.

Possible Errors

Available capacity for a resource may change when settings or shifts are amended. After saving amendments, a dialog box appears asking if any job orders should be ignored, unscheduled or marked as possible errors. This column will display a red circle with an x as the possible error designation. The job order or operations should be verified. To remove this icon, use the resolve possible errors function.
