Selecting Objects 

Prerequisites

If you want to carry out a function for objects on the capacity planning table (for example, dispatch operations, display work centers) you must first select the objects. You can do the following:

  • Manually select objects
  • Select all the objects on a line or in a chart
  • Select all the objects that belong together

This method is described in Selecting or highlighting operations that belong together.

You define how objects are displayed in the Options profile. You should also read Profile for the capacity planning table (tabular form). You can choose online between the various selection options that are specified in the options profile (for example, color selection or pick marks) in the capacity planning table with Settings -> Select.
