Five Primary Elements Comprise Solutions Schedule: |
|
|
|
 |
 The
Schedule Area, where
time bars are created and interacted
with and through which developers define
the type of Gantt style end-user interaction,
varying degrees of accuracy and
supporting information that can be
surfaced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 The
multi column List View
and Tree View area - where developers
define either style of presentation
- the direct edit List View or
the Tree View and connect data
for presenting and interacting
with categorized lists of
Resources. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 The
Ruler Area, which offers direct
time line customization for
creating plans and schedules
based on time types and time
lines of Seconds to Years.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 List Items, which originate in
the List View / Tree View area
and carry through the Scheduling
Area for contiguous
representation of Resources and
the tasks and roles assigned to
them. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 The Time Bars,
which reside in the Schedule Area
that complete DBI’s unique Gantt Style,
intuitively interactive, Drag and
Drop planning and scheduling
surface. |
| |
|
|
|
Each of the primary elements that
comprise Solutions Schedule are managed
dynamically by the architecture and
business rules applied through the
construct of the control.
Further, via the Properties, Events
and Methods (PEMs) developers are
provided discrete programmability and
full control of the control's presentation -
including user (owner) drawn features
built into the List / Tree View, Time
Line Ruler, Time Bars and Schedule area.
User Drawn features are found in the
Enterprise license. |
|
|
|
Schedule Object Details |
|
|
The Schedule Area offers developers and end-users an intuitive Gantt
style, drag and drop area for planning
and scheduling multiple resources
grouped and organized as required across
various time lines and time-period presentations. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
When managing resources across domains
and with varying time tables there is a
significant advantage offered by
Solutions Schedule - being able to
present multiple schedules each with
differing time scales and schedule
period spans (days, weeks etc.) - and all in
one view that also allows dragging and
dropping between the schedule objects
for increased efficiency. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Within the Schedule Area there are a
number of objects that offer fine
grained interaction with schedule plans.
For example: |
|
|
 Notes – Notes are
stationary visual objects in
the schedule. Tool tips with
information about the note are
displayed when the mouse hovers over the
Note icon.
Notes can be used to draw attention to
important aspects of a schedule. |
| |
|
 Line arrows are images placed at the
start or end of a schedule item
notifying the end-user that other tasks
have been scheduled that are not within
the viewable schedule area. |
| |
|
 Guide Lines are vertical lines within
the schedule area for representing a
critical point in time and also to help
align time bars accurately. |
| |
|
 Current
Time Line is a vertical line drawn in
the schedule representing the current
time of day. The Current Time Offset
property can be used to display the line in different time zones. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 Dead zones set specific areas of the
schedule where activities cannot be set
- mouse actions are not allowed to
create or move time bars in a dead zone. |
|
|
 Edit
modes extend or restrict the CRUD
aspects of Solutions Schedule .NET.
There are seven specific edits modes:
Edit, Erase, Select, Link, Unlink, Split
and Guideline, which can be presented
via the Edit Modes Toolbar object. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 We
often encounter large schedule
presentations having thousands of
Resources with an exponential number of
Time bars planned over an extended
period of time. In these situations it's
really nice having the List Guide
feature available to assist
interaction within the Schedule Area
especially when the resource list / tree
may not be in view. |
|
|
|
|
|
Multi Column List / Tree View
Object Details |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Solutions Schedule .NET offers two
operational modes for displaying
Resources - a traditional multi - column
List View, as well, a Tree View: |

Industry proven component software |

|
"In less than 3 weeks, we have gone
from a concept and evaluation of
Solutions Schedule .NET and Studio
Controls .NET to a fully functional
service dispatch and scheduling
application! The entire UI for our app
is finished - this turned out so good.
... showed it to my colleagues and they
were blown away. This is going to
be a real differentiator for us."
