Workspace IBM MAS - Scheduler

Display the “Start no earlier than”/ “Finish no later than” dates for easily identify Work Order constraints in Graphical Scheduling application

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

On the schedule area in the “Graphical view” tab, the solid red line is currently common for all Work Order / Task. It leads to confusion because it refers to the “End date” defined in the “Schedule” main tab rather than to a limit not to cross.

To do his job at best, a planner or a scheduler needs to respect constraint dates which are not similar for each Work Order.

It seems that both “Finish no later than” date and “Start no earlier than” date had been implemented in previous version of the Graphical Work Week application.
The “Start no earlier than” date was displayed as a solid thin red line and “The finish no later” date was displayed as a solid thick red line.

This functioning enables to check very simply if a Work Order / Task is scheduled outside its schedule window.

The idea is to have the same visual identifiers in Graphical Scheduling application.

If it is furthermore combined with the changing colour of the horizontal bar in case of overcoming those two dates during a drag-and-drop operation, it leads to a perfect solution.
