Restart APS
Grouping only works
in the current session,
it is not retained when
Visual APS has been
restarted.
The orders in the Task Panel in Visual APS can be grouped by any column heading. Grouping can be a useful technique when checking which job orders do not have sufficient material so these can be excluded from scheduling. Or when scheduling job orders is completed based on a particular characteristic. For example, you may want to minimise change overs by scheduling all job orders for the same product together. Grouping can be used for any situation.
To group job orders in the task panel:
Drag the column heading to the top of the task panel
The data will be grouped by column dragged. Use the + and - icons to the left of each grouping to expand or collapse the contents of the group. Sub groups can be added by dragging additional column headings to the top of the task panel.
