While using the Enhanced Scheduler for production planning, we've identified two improvements that would significantly increase usability and planning efficiency.

 

1. Move multiple activities/orders at once

Currently, activities can only be moved individually. In real-life planning scenarios, it is often necessary to shift an entire group of activities or orders together due to schedule changes, machine downtime, or capacity adjustments.

Suggested functionality:

  • Select multiple activities using Ctrl/Shift or a selection box.
  • Drag and drop all selected activities together.

 

2. Auto-scroll when dragging beyond the visible time range

When moving an activity to a date outside the currently visible time range, dragging stops at the edge of the scheduler.

Suggested functionality:

  • Automatically scroll the timeline when the cursor reaches the left or right edge during a drag operation.
  • Allow users to continue dragging activities to dates that are not currently visible without manually navigating first.

We are currently using the selection functionality in the Windows resource scheduler to move a set of activities at once using the shift/ctrl keys. So the same functionality would be greatly appreciated in the Universal scheduler.
