You can publish Infor Production Scheduling schedules and data on the Web using Web Viewer. The schedules appear on the Web in a planning board, which appears like a Gantt chart. You can share the schedule quickly and easily throughout the organization with people who do not have Infor Production Scheduling installed. People can only view, and cannot not modify the schedules that are published. The Gantt chart on the Web displays detailed information related to resources, process batches, tank batches, and down times. Viewers can move through the schedule horizontally and vertically.
