New VJS Features - Overview
• Major Features– Assign job planning lines to resource groups– Work with ‚true length‘ of job planning lines– Restrict the reallocation of job planning lines– Create a resource load report
• Minor Features– Split job planning lines– Freeze histograms– Hide job planning lines with quantity = zero– Hide job planning lines with type = item

Assign Job Planning LinesTo Resource Groups• Why
– Enable customers to differentiate between short-term detailed, and mid-term rough planning
• How– Define dedicated
resource called „unassigned task“ and use prefix $VJSRG$
– See capacity load forentire resource group

Work With ‘True Length’ Of Job Planning Lines• Why
– Help customers to reducenumber of jobplanning lines
• How– Use quantities >8 hours,
and reflect this in longerjob planning line bars
– Mirror this ‘true allocation’in capacity load curve andshow ‘true’ utilization
• Please note– Needs one change to the C/AL code
