Canvas view for visual planning
- In case you missed it, Canvas officially launched in May. Automatically visualize your schedule and plan in 2D. We’re adding new features frequently, so stay tuned and keep the feedback coming.
Plan Page
-
Add Scenario from Plan Page
- Add your current schedule on the Plan page to the Explore page with the Add Scenario button. When you use this button, you will bypass the ALICE scheduling and optimization algorithm, and only CPM will be used to generate the schedule. This is useful if you’re trying to pin down a baseline and compare the schedule before optimization versus after ALICE optimization.
- Safeguards have been added to prevent users from accidentally modifying calendars, crews, duration for in-progress or completed tasks. Equipment or materials can be modified for in-progress or not started tasks. Learn more.
Analyze
- Export Controls - Users can control what data is included when a schedule is exported from the Analyze page: resource logic, custom properties, resource assignments and cost.
- Adjust Float and Criticality calculation logic on the Analyze page. By default, resource logic is treated as precedence, but now users can choose to not treat resource logic as precedence. This is useful if you have a schedule heavily constrained by resource logic and you wish you view your critical path without factoring in resource logic.
Canvas
- Lock uploaded images in place so that they are not accidentally moved.
- Zoom to selected tasks on the task table view when the user right clicks a block and selects tied tasks.
- Various UI improvements to make it more fun and easy to use
