      The structure of the VPS

      Since the VPS is a Gantt Chart, it naturally has all its characteristics and elements:

      • A timescale at the top.
      • A table at the left, production orders (in the Production Order View) or work and machine centers in the Capacity View
      • On the right below the time scale, a chart displaying the job schedule with a calendar in the background indicating work free periods in grey while working times appear in white.
      • A menu ribbon allowing to make basic settings that will be explained in detail in the following.

      The item “NETRONIC VPS” summarizes all menu options that we think are the most frequently used ones:

      VPS_Netronic_VPS

       

      All options of the VPS can be found under “Actions”:

      In case the “Actions” item is not visible in the menu ribbon, click “More options". To hide it again, click “Fewer options”.
