Miscellaneous Commands

Miscellaneous commands include Save, Publish, and Zoom In and Zoom Out.

Save

Save allows you to save changes to the current schedule. The Save button is only enabled when the schedule has one or more changes which have been made since the last time the schedule was saved or published. The Save button is not enabled for the current week’s published schedule, since any changes that are saved are immediately published. If a change is required for the current week’s schedule, make the change and then publish the schedule (which automatically saves the changes before publishing). Also, the Save button is not enabled for read-only schedules.

Note: A schedule from the prior week or before that, is set to read-only. The current week’s schedule can be either read-only or read/write, depending on what you select when the schedule loads.

Publish

When you publish a schedule, it is first saved to the database, and then notification is made to the Optimizer server. If the schedule is for the current week, then those changes take effect immediately. If the schedule is for a future week, then the schedule becomes the published schedule. Any other schedules from the same forecast and schedule entry are set as not published.

Zoom In

Zoom In allows you to see the current schedule in more detail. There are 3 zoom levels for the day and multi-day views, and 3 zoom levels for the week view. If you zoom in to the most detailed week view, then the next time you zoom in, the schedule switches to the lesser detailed day and multi-day view.

Zoom Out

Zoom Out allows you to see a larger time period for the current schedule. There are 3 zoom levels for the day and multi-day views, and 3 zoom levels for the week view. If you zoom out to the lesser detailed day and multi-day view, then the next time you zoom out, the schedule switches to the most detailed week view.
