Overview 

Production Planning assists organisations in managing all their production tasks. The Planning Dashboard displays a visual representation of the current and upcoming jobs. It also includes a capacity chart.

The jobs are grouped by the different Stages. A legend is displayed in the top right corner.

These tutorials explain how the Dashboard works.
