GWW - Manually Split Assignments

In Graphical Work Week application the duration of a work order or assignment may be longer than the hours of a shift. The GWW application automatically splits the work bar according to the available hours in the shift of the labor or crew it is assigned to. The hours of each split may not be what you wanted. Currently the only way to correct this is to use the Assignment tab in Work Order Tracking application, but this is not a visual tool.

    IBM had decided that any Idea that we would not be able to implement in a 12-month time frame would be marked as “Not under consideration”. Because this is a good Idea it did get promoted to our backlog as we didn’t want to lose it. Based on the feedback from customers like yourself IBM will allow us to keep this Idea even if it cannot be completed in the next year and change the status back to “Future consideration” to make it visible to our customers once again.

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our immediate release plans. This idea is important to us and we will be kept in backlog repository. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Allow the user to modify the splits that are recommended in the dialog like you can in Assignment Manager. In Assignment Manager, you can delete an assignment in the dialog and adjust hours of the first assignment. For example, if you have a 9 hour assignment that is being split as 8 hours on Tuesday and 1 hour on Wednesday, delete the 1 hour on Wednesday and update Tuesday to 9 hours in the dialog before the split is saved.
