To print a Job Schedule, click on Schedule in the shortcut menu, then click Print, then click Print Schedule Listing. Or, in the Job Schedule entry form, click the Print button, and select the Print Schedule Listing option.
The Job Schedule Listing report lists the date and duration of job items that have been scheduled in the Job Schedule entry form.
Using the prompts described below, you can print schedules for one or more jobs, and for one, or all Resources.
As you enter the actual start date and completion time of job items in the Job Progress entry form (discussed below), the job schedule listing will show how far behind or ahead of schedule each job item is.
The Print Job Schedule form has the following prompts:
|
Job Status: |
|
Select the status of jobs to list in the schedule. If you don't select a job status, the listing will include jobs with any status. If you select a job status, the listing will only include jobs with that status. |
|
Select the project of jobs to list in the schedule. If you don't select a job project, the listing will include jobs in any project (or no project). If you select a job project, the listing will only include jobs in that project. |
|
Include Jobs: |
|
Check the check box next to Jobs to include in the schedule listing. If you don't check any boxes, the listing will only include the schedule for the current job (selected at the top of the screen). If you select one or more jobs, the listing will include those jobs in the schedule listing with the current job. |
|
Select Resource: |
|
Select the Resource for whom to print a schedule, or "(All Resources)". If you select "(All Job Resources)", the schedule will include items for all resources, sorted by date. If you select a resource, the schedule will only include items scheduled for that resource. |
|
Scheduled From:, To: |
|
You can select a range of dates for which to print the schedule. The Scheduled From prompt defaults to the current date, but you can enter past dates to see past schedule dates. The Scheduled To prompt defaults to the scheduled completion date, but you can enter dates previous to that to print less of the schedule |
