"Planning" view

In this view, you can enter data about job planning.

"Set Due Date" option

You can use the "Set Due Date" box when you enable this option. The current date is set by default. You can either enter another date manually using the "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm" format or change the default date using the arrows beside the box.

As an alternative to a direct input, you can also click the "Select Due Date" button. A dialog then opens where you can select the desired date from a calendar. See also "Choose Date" Window. However, you must still enter the time manually.

"Responsible" parameter

This is where you can define which Cockpit user will be responsible for creating and processing the job. The user currently logged in is set by default. You can select a different Prinect user by clicking "Select". A note of the responsible user is made in the job properties. See also "Properties" Group.

"Job type" parameter

This is where you can assign a job type to the job. You can choose between the following job types:

​•​Production: Standard production job.

​•​Product: The job describes a "product" that usually has product parts, for example, for a versioned output (base version, several language versions).

​•​Preliminary job: The job is to be created in the system but not yet used for production, for example, to schedule it in the Scheduler for a later period.

​•​CAD: The job is designed for producing folding cartons.

​•​Reuse: The job is to be reused several times at a later date in exactly this version.

​•​Job Template: The job is to be used as a job template for other new jobs that are then customized.

​•​Cloud: The "Cloud" job type is assigned to jobs that are created with the cloud-based apps of HEIDELBERG Customer Portal. These print jobs are submitted to Prinect Cockpit and processed there. The cloud apps, not Cockpit, are used to set up the parameters of these print job and to control them. See also "Cloud" job type.
