Asprova My Schedule v.1.7 includes an improvement on result inputting and important fixes.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Edit Result Dialog​

On Resource Gantt Chart's "Edit Result" dialog, added support for "Result Obtain Time" and "Result Progress" properties. This two properties can be set when the operation's status is either "started" or "completed". By setting the status neither of those, properties specific to results, including the those two properties, will be set empty.

As it is on Asprova, when both "Result Quantity" and "Result Progress" are set, the property whose value can be considered having more progress will be treated valid.

Connection Lines Color​

On Resource Gantt Chart, the colors palette of connection lines have been reconsidered. The pegging type "Between orders" (pink) and "Time Constraint" (light blue) now have the same colors as on Asprova. The rendering of connection lines linking sub resources (used to be light green) has also been reconsidered, it is now rendered as dotted lines.

Resource Lock Task​

Resource Lock Task are now rendered on My Schedule.

Operation Table​

We added a functionality by which users can download the content on the Operation Table in csv format. By opening the menu with the hamburger button on top right and clicking on "Export as csv" button, users can download all the operations belonging to the selected style in csv format (Excel compatible).

We also removed the style selection screen of Operation Table. Styles can now be selected by the combobox on the top.

Dispatching View​

On Dispatching View's resource selection screen, resources that are not relevant in any uploaded style now are not shown.

Plus, Dispatching View now automatically updates the operations shown when a result is input on other devices or when the project data gets re-uploaded from the Plugin.

Other minor improvements and fixes​

• Fixed a problem in which time constraint methods were not correctly displayed on the Resource Gantt Chart when time constraint methods were set for both input and use instructions.
• Fixed a problem in which entered results were not reflected correctly on the front-end side under certain conditions.
• Fixed a bug in the Edit Result dialog that allowed cases where the result start time was later than the result end time.
• Fixed a bug in the Gantt chart where clicking the “Today” button in the upper right corner jumps to the current time instead of the beginning of the day
• Fixed a bug that when updating My Schedule to a newer version, the browser cache kept showing the older version.
• Moved the Delete results button to the project's Advanced Settings page. It is no longer possible to delete results from Dispatching View or Operation Table.
• Changed behavior regarding concurrent connections so that when logging out, the connection used at the time gets released. It used to be kept counted in the number of concurrent connections until 15 minutes had elapsed.
• Fixed a problem in which the number of concurrent connections was counted multiply under certain conditions.
• Fixed a problem in which when the control panel was opened for the first time, its window popped out of the screen.
• Fixed a problem in which the control panel would falsely display "success" when an attempt to change the password for the administrator account failed.

In Asprova My Schedule v.1.6, new features were added to the Resource Gantt Chart, and several important bug fixes have been implemented.

We will continue to develop new features for Asprova My Schedule. If you have any feature requests or wish to report any issues, please contact us at myschedule@asprova.com.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Process Map​

Process Map is a feature that visualizes the connections between processes. You can access it from the "Process Map Display" at the bottom. By clicking on a task bar in the Resource Gantt Chart and selecting a task, you can display the series of processes in which that task exists as a graphical map.

The Gantt Chart section of the Resource Gantt Chart, the timeline display on the right, and the preceding and following process map display are linked. By selecting a task in the preceding and following process map, you can navigate to the corresponding task in the Gantt Chart. In the image, the yellow frame representing the selected task is visible in the Gantt Chart, timeline display, and preceding and following process map, confirming that the same task is highlighted across all displays.

In the Process Map, task details are not displayed; only the "Process Name" and "Process Number" are shown. The purpose of this map is to provide an overview of the connections between tasks, and detailed information is intended to be checked via tooltips or the timeline display.

Bug Fixes​

We have addressed the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where if My Schedule had performance data that had not yet been downloaded by Asprova, uploading from Asprova would cause the result data to be lost.
• Fixed an issue where changes to task statuses in the Resource Gantt Chart’s performance editing feature were not correctly reflected in Asprova.
• Fixed an issue where My Schedule displayed incorrectly if the uploaded aru file had "day demarcation time" property.
• Fixed an issue where some tasks (such as manufacturing-only tasks and stock tasks) were not uploaded in the Resource Gantt Chart.
• Fixed an issue where, when starting My Schedule as a Windows service, the server did not reflect certain settings, such as HTTPS enablement.
• Fixed an issue where the project timezone settings now support time zones with daylight saving time.

Features Requiring Asprova ver.17.8​

The following new features and bug fixes require updating Asprova to Ver. 17.8 (scheduled for release in October 2024):

• (New Feature) Added the ability to reflect the "Order Left Text Expression" in the Order Gantt Chart.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where a new window was opened during uploads from the plugin.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where sticky notes in the Resource Gantt Chart did not display with the same height as when viewed in Asprova.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where the display/hide settings of sticky notes in the Resource Gantt Chart were not reflecting Asprova’s style settings.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where some order bar colors in the Order Gantt Chart did not reflect Asprova’s style settings.

English and Chinese are now officially supported starting from Asprova My Schedule v.1.5.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Labels​

Resource Gantt Chart now supports displaying labels defined in the corresponding style in Asprova.

Connection lines​

Connection lines on Resource Gantt Chart now has a new look. Connection lines are drawn by stacking them vertically, and their endpoints now have triangular markers, which will give users more intuition about the lines' relation with other entities.

Automatic updates​

Automatic updates are now enabled by default on Resource Gantt Chart. This feature will keep the view updated with new date retrieved every ten seconds. It can be disabled by the control in the header.

Header of the App​

Display of data upload date​

The app header now displays the date of the data upload.

User menu changes​

Display language can now be switched in the user menu.

In addition, the user menu now includes the display of current and max CCUs. The number of max CCUs on projects of standard and viewer plans (paid plans) is dependent of your contract, though it is 1 on free plan project regardless of your contract.
The numbers shown in the user menu are those of paid plans.

Control Panel​

Log display on the Control Panel now has a better color scheme, and the logs in it now have timestamp.

Other​

We have changed the format by which the Plugin saves My Schedule settings in .aru files. This may require reconfiguration of the Plugin by users after updating the Plugin to ver. 1.5.

Plus, as we have made a huge change of the format of the data uploaded by the Plugin, data uploaded with ver. 1.5 Plugin cannot be viewed by the Frontend prior to ver. 1.5. Conversely, data uploaded with the Plugin prior to ver. 1.5 cannot be viewed with the Frontend ver. 1.5.

In ver. 1.4, My Schedule Server now supports Windows services. Additionally, improvements were made to the Gantt Chart display, and display settings are now cached.

Windows Service Support​

It is now possible to configure the My Schedule server to start as a Windows service from the control panel. By starting as a Windows service, the server can be set to start automatically when Windows starts.

Display Settings Cache​

In My Schedule screens, such as the Assignment View and Resource Gantt Chart, display settings are now saved per browser. Even when you reopen the page, the previous display settings will be applied.

These settings are saved per browser for each user/project combination. If the same user views a different project or views the same project in a different browser, the settings will not carry over.

Improvements to the Gantt Chart​

You can now adjust the width of the leftmost column (Resource/Order) in the Gantt Chart. Additionally, on the Order Gantt Chart, we have improved it to display the delivery date triangle similar to Asprova. Furthermore, the order bar colors now reflect Asprova's style settings.

Ver. 1.3 is the official release version of Asprova My Schedule. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude to all the users who have cooperated with us in the PoC, as well as to everyone who provided feedback and assistance during the development.

We will continue to actively develop Asprova My Schedule, and we thank you for your continued support.

Improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart​

Editing Results​

We have made improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart's results editing window, which was added in v.1.2. Information about the currently edited task is now displayed at the top, and the status selection buttons are grouped on the left side.

Date Display Mode for Dispatching View​

We have introduced a date display mode in the Dispatching View. In date display mode, tasks are consolidated and displayed on a single page for each date.

Horizontal Scrolling in the Operation Table​

We have modified the Task Table to allow horizontal scrolling. When "Compact Version" is enabled, it can be displayed in the same way as before.

Saving of Display Settings​

Display settings can now be saved on the Resource Gantt Chart, Dispatching View, and Operation Table screens.

Plugin Improvements​

We have added a warning when setting up the integration with My Schedule if no UI has been selected in the project settings on the My Schedule side.

Control Panel Improvements​

We have made it so that the license agreement is displayed when the control panel is launched for the first time. Additionally, it is now possible to apply magic numbers to the eProtector.

In ver. 1.2, we reviewed the plans. Additionally, new features were added to the Resource Gantt Chart, and a new design for the control panel was introduced.

Plan Review​

Introduction of the Viewer Plan​

In addition to the previous "Free Plan" and "Standard Plan," we have added the "Viewer Plan."

The Viewer Plan is a plan that limits functionality to viewing only, while allowing you to view schedule data without any restrictions on the display period. Like the Standard Plan, the number of simultaneous connections can be increased by purchasing additional connections.

Changes to the Free Plan​

In the Free Plan, which is available for free, actual performance input was not available before, but starting from v.1.2, it will be possible to input performance data. Additionally, the Manufacturing BOM Table will also be available in the Free Plan starting from v.1.2.

Improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart​

We have made several improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart.

Display of Stacked Resources​

It is now possible to display stacked resources on the Resource Gantt Chart. In line with the support for stacked resources, we have also changed the style of the rectangles displaying tasks.

Editing results​

The ability to edit results, which was temporarily unavailable in v.1.1, is now restored. Additionally, it is now possible to edit the quantity of actual performance.

New Control Panel Design​

We have introduced a new design for the control panel. In the new design, it is now clearly visible at the top whether the server is running. Additionally, buttons such as "Start" have been consolidated, and the log display area has been enlarged.

Problem Reporting and Update Check​

We have added "Problem Reporting" and "Check for Updates" buttons at the bottom as experimental features. These are experimental functions and may contain issues. We look forward to your feedback.

When you press the "Problem Reporting" button, you can report issues to Asprova via email (a mailer must be installed). When you press the "Check for Updates" button, you can automatically update the installed Asprova My Schedule (Asprova ID login is required).

In ver. 1.1, we have redesigned the Resource Gantt Chart and the Project Management page.

Resource Gantt Chart Design Renewal​

We have redesigned the Resource Gantt Chart UI to improve clarity. The navigation buttons on the Resource Gantt Chart have been reorganized (within the red frame). Some of the features that were available in the old Gantt Chart will be implemented in v.1.2.

Project Management Page Design Renewal​

Icons have been introduced for the UI selection page and the UI settings section in the detailed project settings.

Asprova My Schedule is a product that enables viewing production schedules scheduled by Asprova and entering actual performance data related to the schedule via a web browser.

Components of My Schedule​

My Schedule consists of a plugin that uploads data from Asprova, a server (Asprova WS) that stores the data, a control panel to manage the server, and the My Schedule front-end displayed in a browser. For more details, please refer to the manual download page.

Free Plan / Standard Plan​

My Schedule offers two plans: a Free Plan, which is available for use at no cost, and a Standard Plan. In the Standard Plan projects, in addition to all the features available in the Free Plan, it is possible to enter actual performance data on My Schedule and import this data into Asprova.

The following additional features are available in Standard Plan projects:

• The period for uploading data from Asprova becomes unlimited (in the Free Plan, it is limited to two weeks).
• Actual performance data can be entered on My Schedule and imported into Asprova.
• The number of simultaneous connections, which is fixed at 1 in the Free Plan, increases to 5. Additional simultaneous connections can also be purchased (for a fee).
• The Manufacturing BOM Table can be utilized.

Available UIs​

Six UIs are available: Resource Gantt Chart, Dispatching View, Operation Table, Order Gantt Chart, Order Lead Time, and Manufacturing BOM Table. The Manufacturing BOM Table is available only in Standard Plan projects.

Resource Gantt Chart​

In the Resource Gantt Chart, you can view the scheduled tasks for each resource. Similar to Asprova's Resource Gantt Chart, it displays connection lines between tasks in sequential processes and setup times. Based on user feedback regarding the overlapping text in Asprova's instruction bars making it difficult to read, we have added a panel on the right to display the currently selected tasks vertically.

You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks in the right panel. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Assignment View.

Similar to Asprova, tooltips can be displayed when hovering the mouse over an item.

Dispatching View​

In the Dispatching View, you can view the assignments for each resource. By uploading data via the plugin, the styles from Asprova can be applied. You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Resource Gantt Chart.

Operation Table​

In the Operation Table, you can view a list of tasks. You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Resource Gantt Chart.

Order Gantt Chart​

You can view the Order Gantt Chart. The style of Asprova's Order Gantt Chart can be applied. Similar to Asprova, orders that are delayed can be displayed in red.

Manufacturing BOM Table​

In the Manufacturing BOM Table, you can view the Manufacturing BOM. A Standard Plan is required to use the Manufacturing BOM Table.

For the Manufacturing BOM instructions, you can measure and update the manufacturing time.

Order Lead Time​

In the Order Lead Time UI, the lead time for each order can be displayed in an easy-to-read graphical format.

Project Management​

On the Asprova WS server, Free Plan projects can be created without any limit on the number of projects. The number of Standard Plan projects that can be created is determined by the license.

For each project that is created, you can finely configure which UIs to use and which users are able to view the project or input actual result data.
