In Scheduling, the schedule is a vertical Gantt chart of estimated and actual voyages.
When you open Scheduling, today's date appears at the top of the schedule. Voyages appear as color-coded schedule cards, and each column shows the schedule for a vessel named in the heading. Vessel columns appear in the same order as in the Open Positions list.
In the schedule, you can do any of the following:
- Add vessel notes and schedule notes.
- Adjust the timescale and column width.
- Expand the schedule to the full workspace.
Workflows
You can do any of the following from the schedule:
Schedule Cards
Cards on the schedule represent Voyages and Estimates. To open a Voyage or Estimate in a new tab, click its card.
Color Coding
Each card is color coded, as defined in the legend at the bottom of the schedule. Additionally:
- A thin, light blue bar on the left side of the card indicates the cargo laycan.
- If a vessel will arrive at its load port after the cargo's laycan window has closed, the bar appears red.
- A section with
indicates waiting time. - Today's date appears as a blue schedule row.
- Estimates that are processing appear white with a grey dashed border.
Card Text
Cards display the following text information, but you can change the cargo data by editing Cargo Template on the Programs panel:
- Ports and their functions; the height of a port section indicates port call duration.
- Cargo Name (or Cargo Grade with configuration flag CFGEnableMultiGrade)
- CP Quantity or BL Quantity
- Counterparty
- Laycan From - Laycan To
- Estimate ID, Voyage No., or Cargo ID
- Commence Date - Complete Date
If multiple cargoes are loaded/discharged, the cargo information will be shown in repeating sections. If multiple ports have the same ETA, ETD, and port function, they will be combined into one port section, not shown multiple times.
To see additional information, hold your mouse pointer over a port or sailing section.
Vessel Notes
You can add vessel notes below each vessel name. Vessel notes are saved per program.
Schedule Notes
Instead of adding an Estimate or Voyage, you can add a schedule note as a placeholder to indicate that a vessel will not be available during a certain date range. Schedule notes are saved per program.
To add a schedule note, in a vessel column, click the starting date and drag down to the end date.
- To adjust the date range covered by the schedule note, drag the bottom of the card up or down.
- To move the schedule note, drag it to an earlier or later date range or drag it to a different vessel column.
- To delete the schedule note, drag it off of the schedule.
Adjusting the Schedule
To adjust the schedule, use the drop-down menus on the bottom right:
: Change the timescale to Quarter Day, Day, or Week. The schedule automatically scrolls to today's date.
: Change the width of columns to 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, or Fit All.
