The Overlaps tab displays the following fields and buttons:
• The Update Overlaps button () updates the Overlaps list based on the current settings.
• The Range drop-down list allows you to specify how to use the From and To dates. Options are:
• Sheet Start and Finish Dates
• +/- 1 day
• +/- 1 week
• +/- 1 month
• +/- 1 year
For example, if you select Sheet Start and Finish Dates, the system updates the From and To dates to match the sheet's Start and Finish dates entered on the Request tab. If you select +/-1 week, the system displays overlaps that are one week before and after the sheet's Start and Finish dates. In other words, overlaps for a two week period plus the switching sheet's scheduled duration will be used to search for overlaps.
• The From and To fields specify the range of dates for which you want to view overlaps. These fields are automatically populated based on your selections in the Range field. If you manually enter values in the From and To fields, those values will override what was auto-populated by the Range selection.
• The Filter By drop-down list allows you to specify the type of overlaps you want to view: Device, Control Zones, or Time. See “Updating the Overlaps List” for details.
• The Open Selected Switching Sheet button () will open the switching sheet selected in the overlaps list. Alternatively, you can right-click on the switching sheet and select Open Switching Sheet from the option menu.
• The Export Table button () is used to export a comma separated value list of the table contents to a file.
• The Overlaps table displays a row for each switching sheet that has an overlap with the active switching sheet (and meets the criteria specified above). The blank filter boxes at the top of each column allow you to filter the Overlaps list. See “Viewing an Overlapping Switching Sheet” for details.
• The Overlap Type column displays the type of overlap the sheets have with the switching sheet the list is being generated from. Values include Device, Control Zone, Time. When looking for overlaps in the past, it is possible to also display sheets with overlap types of Past Device, Past Control Zone, and Past Time. These "Past" types indicate switching sheets that have Finish dates that are in the past, but are still active.
• The Status column displays the status of the switching sheet listed on that row.
• The Sheet # displays the switching sheet number that contains the overlaps.
• The Type column displays the type of switching sheet.
• The # Steps column displays the total number of steps included in the switching sheet. This number basically matches up with the last step number in the sheet's Steps list and does not include child aggregate or Block steps.
• The # Devices column displays the number of device overlaps.
• The # Zones column displays the number of overlapping control zones.
• The # Hours column displays the number of hours the sheet overlaps with the current sheet. This value is based on the dates specified in the Start and Finish date fields on each of the switching sheets.
• The # Supply Nodes column displays the number of impacted nodes shared by the two switching sheets. For this column to display a value, the impacted customers list will have had to have been generated for the current switching sheet and the one listed in the Overlaps list.
• The User column displays the user ID of the requester of the switching sheet.
• The Start Date column displays the start date of the switching sheet.
• The Finish Date column displays the finish date of the switching sheet.
• The Feeders column is the Feeder value as displayed on the Request tab of the switching sheet.
• The Description column is the Description value as displayed on the Request tab of the switching sheet.
