How do I change Cut Dates ?

No matter how well you plan your schedule,  there will always be times when you have to change the Cut Date to balance the pounds and resources.

We have come up with a screen where you can view and change your Cutting schedule with ease.

To get there do this:

  1. Navigate Calendar > Cutting.
  2. On each Sunday is a blue link that says "Move".  Click on the week you want to adjust. 

Cutting Schedule Calendar

The first thing you notice is there is no Navigation bar.   This is the only screen in our system where that happens.  It was done to give you more room and we figured if you were here you wouldn't be going anywhere else until you finished.

There are several buttons and option lists along the top.  Here is what they do.

Color Coded Events

Each box on the Calendar is an "event".  

Notice the events have 3 different background colors.

  • Light Blue       Normal Tag - 1/4, 1/2 or Whole Animal
  • Light Tan        Grouped Tag - More than 1 animal
  • Light Gray      Order,  Tags not yet made

Note:   On Orders with multiple Species,  there will be a one event for Each Species.

Popover

There is so much information about each event that it simple doesn't fit in the Week view.

So the data in the event is abbreviated,  such as "d"  for days and  "#"  for pounds. 

Totals

The first "event"  of each day is a total.

Order & Tag samples

Move an Order or Tag

To change the Cut Date of an Order or Tag you:

  1. Click on the Order or Tag
  2. Keep your mouse down and drag the event to the new day
  3. Drop the event into the new day by releasing your mouse

Here is what you will see after completing a move:

  • The Hang Time on the event you moved has changed (up or down)
  • The Totals for the day you "dragged from"  have decreased.
  • The Totals for the day your "dropped on"  have increased.
