Overview of Schedule Actions

You can begin scheduling after your schedule has been set up.

Refresh and Solve a Schedule

Open the actions menu of a schedule to refresh or to refresh and solve a schedule.

• Click Refresh to update schedule data.

• Click Refresh and Solve to update schedule data and generate a new schedule.

You can review a schedule after either action, by clicking Open in the action menu. You can also solve the schedule using the Solve button in the schedule view.

Note: You must refresh a schedule after its last release, or else changes to the schedule for some work orders made after that release may not get released in the next one.

If you need to undo all your manual adjustments and repairs since the last solve process, click Solve.
