"Edit Scheduling" Window

You can open this window by selecting at least one layout or one sheet and then selecting "Edit Scheduling" from the context menu.

Prerequisite: You can only open this window if you have assigned a subsequent sequence to the layout.

The assigned sequences are displayed in the left-hand area. Select the sequence with which the selected elements are to be edited.

In the right-hand area of the window, you can select the date on which the processing with the selected sequence is to start. You can choose between the following planning options:

​•​Do Not Start Before

The layouts are not submitted before the entered date. When the date is reached, the layouts are automatically submitted to the selected sequence, provided that a suitable sequence is available. The layouts are then processed with this sequence

​•​Planned Start

You can schedule the processing start date. Processing starts as soon as the editing sequence is available as of the scheduled date. The definition of the start date affects the sorting in the queue view. Jobs whose planned start is earlier than the start of other jobs are processed first.

​•​Latest Completion

This is where you define the latest completion date for this step. This is to make sure that processing is complete in any case before this date. The definition of the latest finish date also affects the sorting in the queue view. Jobs whose (planned) latest completion date is earlier than the completion date of other jobs are processed first

Determine the start date

For each scheduling option, you specify the start date by entering a date (date and time) or by clicking on the small arrow buttons to increase or decrease the value of the activated number. You can also choose a date in a "Calendar view". To do so, click the neighboring button. A calendar window opens. See also "Choose Date" Window.

The following is valid for all dates:

​•​Dates in the future are black. Dates in the past are red.

​•​Dates entered are displayed in the layout view, in the column of the sequence to which the date refers.

Note: If there are several dates, "Do Not Start Before" has priority over the other dates.
