Version 4.0 - Released - May 2008

The following are the features that were added to Version 4.0 to deliver outstanding performance and add many new usability improvements: New QuickFind and QuickFilter functions to quickly locate the data you need within the Gantt. New Custom Assignment window to assign multiple resources to several tasks in a single action. New Gantt Summary window to dynamically display summary information as tasks are being selected, such as the total number of hours per craft, to help you quickly decide which tasks you need to reschedule. New Published Status view to quickly see which schedule items have been modified within AKWIRE™; so you know exactly which work orders will be updated back into Maximo®. Auto-split tasks based on different criteria such as percent completed. Change the status of multiple work orders in a single action. Date constraint enforcement on work orders. For example: MustStartOn, MustFinishOn, FinishNoLaterThan, and more. Keep track of your resources unavailable time. This allows the planner/scheduler to account for other work related activities that may have an impact on the resource availability, such as being away on training. Ability to 'skip' a PM. For example: skipping the 13th monthly PM in your calendar year by setting it to not publish back into Maximo®. Ability to organize your work items within the Gantt into different groups. Load existing schedules within a master schedule to view the overall workload, with the ability to modify them from the master schedule. Improved user rights for better control over what each type of user is allowed to do when working with the schedule. User rights make full use of your current Maximo® groups and security. Improved printing to allow a planner/scheduler to print multiple Gantts at once, with added control over the page setup to remove margins and repeating headers, for easier pasting on a wall. Enhanced Gantt filtering based on your selection. Support for displaying your Maximo® KPIs within the Metrics Bar. New option to reset your work orders’ target dates as you publish them back into Maximo®. Optimized for greater performance.

Version 3.1 - Released - November 2007

The following are the features that were added to Version 3.1 based on the great customer feedback that we received: Multi-selection of schedule items. A new menu item to Select All/Deselect All Gantt items. Change task durations from the Gantt. Microsoft® Outlook® style Group By functionality added to the Gantt column area to help you quickly organize your work by type, asset, priority, and attributes of your choice. Change the status of a work order from the Gantt. Move tasks within the labor view of the Gantt. Assign a task to another labor using drag & drop. Dropping a task on top of another will push all adjacent tasks to the right. Support for linked tasks. Re-order schedule items by dragging and dropping rows from the Gantt. Option to display the resource names assigned to each tasks in the Gantt. Option to display summary bars of all children activity on the parent row of the Gantt so the user can see when there is activity without having to expand a row. Split tasks within the Gantt using the mouse with the ability to specify split durations when Auto-Splitting tasks. Auto-split work orders based on Assignments within Maximo®. Gantt now has a separate region for displaying fields so that when scrolling, the fields are kept into view. Two new data views have been added: Maximo® Scheduled vs. Maximo® Actual and Maximo® Target vs. Maximo® Actual. The Data Selection tab now incorporates a SQL Helper view to help with entering the criteria and sort order for selecting the right data for a schedule. Those filters can be saved for later retrieval. Multi-threaded support now allows cancelling a running query in the Data Selection tab. Create new work orders/tasks from the Gantt; for example, a user can plan an entire shutdown without even going into Maximo®. Auto-schedule feature has been expanded to allow a user to specify which day(s) to 'fill' with tasks. Auto-schedule the work orders based on labor availability. Display multiple Gantts and arrange them in a desired layout with the ability to save those layouts and reuse them. Auto-scroll to the nearest schedule item with a double click of the mouse. Auto-filtering Gantt rows based on current row or date selection. For example, only display work orders having planned labor for selected Craft(s) and/or activities on selected days. Publish only the selected PMs/WOs as opposed to all items in the schedule. Optimized parts of the code such that the application is still very responsive with large amount of data. Planning and scheduling of Tools and Materials; ability to see the availability of your tools.
