Production Control has asked to filter the MSRB to only the jobs that are at the resource group ready for work. I started working on a BAQ Search, but got stuck trying to find some flag or logic that will exclude all jobs other than what’s at that resource group currently.
After selecting a resource group, the gantt chart shows all jobs that have that RG somewhere in the process, which makes it way too cluttered (800 jobs in WIP with 8 week lead times and 5-20 operation long MOM’s).
Carlos Yanez (sp?) at Insights suggested a WIP field in an AMM table, but I wasn’t able to find it back home.
Thanks for the response. What preference would let us filter out the jobs that are at other machines? I took a look at the User Preferences (Scheduling Board Preferences), and didn’t see anything obvious.
That’s a neat idea if I could add a radio button for “In Department” to the personalization window or next to the start/end dates, but I’m not sure what field/logic I could use to do that.
I’m not sure what the exact requirements are so I can’t say what preference to use. I would suggest the users play around with the options to see if that gets them to their requirements. I always push the out of the box functionality before customizing. I make the users prove the system cannot meet their needs as is before I look elsewhere.
Hi John - The specific requirement is to only show the 50 jobs currently at that resource group - i.e. filter out the other 750 jobs that are at other resource groups. MRSB doesn’t seem to have an out of the box filter that can do it, so I was hoping to do it with a BAQ Search in the selection window, with a bit of advice.
Just wondering why you are using the Multi-Resource Scheduling Board and not the Resource Scheduling Board if you are wanting to see the jobs for only the single resource?
