Working with Projected Schedules

The Projected Schedule displays a graphical view of pending JAMS Jobs. You can view all scheduled Jobs or filter a subset of Jobs over a specified time range. You can also use Projected Schedules to determine if Schedule Items, such as Schedule Triggers, are set up properly and will run on the correct dates.

Projected Schedule Screen

The Projected Schedule screen lets you view the Jobs that are scheduled or projected to run in the future. By default, the screen uses a calendar format to display each hour of the day. This is called the Timeline View. Use the left and right arrows to move around within the projected date range.

You can also change the format of the Projected Schedule screen using one of the available time options. See Modifying the Timeframe Display for more information.

The first time you open the Projected Scheduled menu option, a dialog is displayed that prompts you to create a filter.

After the results from this filter have been displayed, use the Query button to make any additional changes.

Modifying the Timeframe Display

After generating a Projected Schedule, you can modify the results by selecting different views.

1. Right-click a date on the Projected Schedule and select Change View To.
2. Select one of the following options:
