Batches list

The batches list is displayed as a data grid when selected from the Gantt chart view toolbar and enables you to perform these actions:
  • View the detailed information about specific batches.
  • Review the batch details in real time and quickly determine the required actions.

The data grid is displayed and overlaps the Gantt chart at the bottom when you click the Batches List option on the toolbar or press the Alt + I keys. The batches list grid displays only the selected batches from the currently open view and you can sort the data displayed in the data grid columns.

If batches are not selected or you accessed a different model, the Process Batches tab is displayed by default listing all batches in the horizon.

The data grid is updated in real-time to display the selected batch details. The batches are grouped by type and displayed in the Process Batches, Tank Batches, and Downtime tabs. Each tab indicates the number of batches that are displayed in the list. When you click the Batches List option the data grid is closed, if displayed.

These are the available options for configuring the data grid in the current session using the Three Dots menu:

  • Personalize Columns: To select the columns to be displayed in the data grid, by checking or unchecking column names from a dialog.
  • Reset to default: To reset the columns displayed in the data grid to the default.

Data can be exported from the grid in Excel format by using the Export option in the Batches section. The Export option is enabled only when data is displayed. The exported file is identified with the model name and the tab name. This table lists the default list of column labels for the Process Batches:

PS field Column label

Note: 
  • The Batches list option is displayed only for the user with Production Scheduling – Show Batch List permission.
  • The Batches List option is disabled if there are no batches associated with the selected view.
  • If you select a batch that has incomplete or missing information, you can view the available information in the data grid. However, the missing information is displayed as Blank.
  • You can select the Cancel option to deselect batches within the Gantt chart to display all the batches in the current open model within the horizon.
  • You can use the search box in the data grid, to specify keywords and the records displayed in the batches list are filtered based on the search criteria. This performs a free search in the Process, Tank, or Downtime tabs. This error message is displayed when the keyword in the search field is not matching with existing records:
    "No batches were found based on the search criteria"
